Alpha's Claim: Forgiving the Past, Protecting the Future

He just discovered the truth. Now someone has taken everything that matters.

The secret is out. Haldor knows about his son. For one breathless moment, it seemed like Nelda and Haldor might finally find their way to each other — wounded, imperfect, and completely unable to fight what fate had written between them.

Then Kieran vanished.

In his place, a note written in blood. A deadline. A threat from a dangerous enemy known only as the Rogue King — a wolf with a personal vendetta against Haldor and the power to back it up.

Three days. One chance. No guarantees.

With time running out, Haldor and Nelda are forced into the most dangerous territory imaginable — not just the rogue borderlands, but the fragile, complicated space between two people carrying six years of pain. Running side by side through darkness and danger, fighting enemies who want them both dead, they can no longer hide behind anger and old wounds.

The mate bond burns hotter with every battle survived together. Every truth spoken in the dark. Every moment where one of them steps in front of danger to protect the other without thinking twice.

But Saskia's betrayal runs deeper than anyone suspected. The Rogue King is not the stranger he appears to be. And the closer they get to their son, the more they realize they are walking straight into a trap designed to destroy everything — their bond, their family, and their future.

Forgiveness is not a single moment. It is a choice made over and over again, even when it costs you everything.

Book 2 of the Fated Heart Series. The hunt is personal. The love is real. And the ending will leave you breathless.
