The Alpha Chose Me

"Marry me, Nora! I'll leave her!" Kyle begged, reeking of alcohol and desperation. He grabbed my wrist, his Lycan strength bruising my skin. I shoved the pathetic heir away. "I'd rather die than marry into your family." When Nora, a human social worker, witnessed her Alpha boyfriend's betrayal, her world instantly collapsed. In the aftermath of the betrayal, she threw herself wholeheartedly into her work. Enter Julian Sterling—the enigmatic Alpha Consul whose eyes seem to pierce through every defense she's built. When he handpicks Nora for a covert investigation into Cold Creek's dark secrets, neither anticipates the undercurrent of tension that ignites between them. They struggle against a dangerous attraction that breaks every professional boundary. As Julian's protective instincts clash with Nora's fierce independence, she must confront a devastating question: can she trust a man again—or will his world destroy her just like the last one did?
