I gave up my chance at love to surrender to the cruel alpha my father arranged for me to marry.
For years, I suffered, raised his family, and kept his home. All I had to show for my survival were our three children and a hell-bent determination to escape with them.
When the opportunity finally came, I took it. I won’t let them be forced into the same life I was. Fate delivered us somewhere we could be safe.
I never expected to find love, but I fell right into the arms of the man I had to give up all those years ago—and he comes with a whole pack.
Their kindness gives me a dangerous sort of hope, making me believe rebuilding our lives here might be possible. Even so, the shadow of our trauma is always looming.
The world we left behind won’t let go so easily, and my former alpha would rather put me in the ground than allow me to be happy. He broke me once, when I was a young omega without protection.
I’m not alone this time. I have children to fight for and alphas who have my back.
The past might come for us, but I’m not letting it take me without a bare-knuckle brawl, even if it means we all get blood on our hands.
