Never trust an Alpha who breaks your heart—then shows up acting like he owns it. One drunk night. One claiming bite. One baby he doesn't know exists. Knox Ironwood. Billionaire. Alpha. Cold-blooded CEO of Ironwood Industries. He shredded my heart five years ago. Called me a gold-digger. Said I used fake heat scent to trap him. Threw the contract I drafted for us—our future—back in my face. Rejected me in front of his entire pack at Shadowpeak. I disappeared before he could see me break. Before he could discover what our one night together left behind. Now I'm back with my jewelry company booming and a four-year-old daughter who has his steel-gray eyes. I've built a life without him. Without his pack. Without his money. But Knox doesn't do letting go. He's outside my apartment at Moonfall Canyon every single night. Flowers. Apologies. That intense stare that still makes my wolf whimper. He says he was lied to. Says he wants a second chance. Says I'm still his fated mate. Too bad. Because the man who rejected me doesn't get to meet the daughter he doesn't deserve. And this Omega doesn't do forgiveness—even when her traitorous wolf screams MATE every time he's near. So why does my daughter keep asking about the "nice man with the sad eyes"? And why did I just agree to his new contract… one that puts us under the same roof for thirty days?
