He rejected me on the night of my eighteenth birthday. In front of the entire pack. In front of his chosen woman.I told myself I was over it. Over him. I left, rebuilt my life, and became someone stronger than the girl he crushed beneath his boot.Then he walked back into my life three years later with blood on his hands, fire in his eyes, and one word on his lips.Mine.Alpha Caden Black does not beg. He does not apologize. He commands, he takes, and the world bends to his will.But I am not the same broken girl he left behind.And this time, I refuse to be claimed without a war.The problem is, every time he touches me, my wolf screams his name. Every time he looks at me like I am the only thing in the world, I forget every reason I built my walls.He says the rejection was a mistake. He says he had no choice. He says he has spent three years searching for me.I say he is lying.But my body? My body is already his.
