The Rejected Mate's Secret Pup

Alpha Ronan Ashford stands in Marlowe's doorway at 2 am and discovers the four-year-old son she's hidden from him for six years.

I was the wolfless girl Ronan Ashford marked in secret at fifteen. He cut our bond at sixteen because his father said I would dilute the bloodline. I left the same night I found out I was carrying his pup. For six years I have raised our son Rohan alone above a laundromat, two hundred miles from pack land. Then Ronan shows up at 2 a.m. with four wolves, tracks a rogue scent into my kitchen, and does the math in my doorway when he sees his son. He wants me to come home. He wants me to bring his heir.
