Alpha’s Second Chance

A steamy paranormal shifter short story romance

I spent ten years pretending to be human.
Hiding my wolf.
Hiding from my past.
And convincing myself that settling for a safe, quiet life was enough.
It wasn’t.

I should’ve known fate wouldn’t let me walk away so easily.
Because the moment I tried to marry a man who could never truly know me, he walked in.

Rowan Mercer.
Alpha of the Ironclaw Pack.
Tall, rugged, and radiating the kind of power that makes my instincts scream.
One look, and I knew.
One scent, and my wolf shattered the walls I spent years building.

He’s my mate.
The one thing I swore I’d never risk again.
Now, my carefully built life is in ruins. My secret is exposed.

And the man I almost married?

He was never who he claimed to be.
He was a hunter.
And now he’s coming for me.

Rowan says he can protect me.
That I belong with him.
That no one will ever hurt me again.
But trusting him means surrendering to the part of myself I’ve fought to bury.
And if I give in, there’s no turning back.

Not for me.
Not for my son.
And not for the wolf who refuses to let me go.
