The Alpha Who Couldn't Love Me

Ayla Kincaid never wanted attention, especially not as an omega in a pack where power means everything. On her 16th birthday, all she wanted was a quiet night with the one person who had always stood by her: Jace Thornridge, the Alpha’s elder twin and her only friend.

Instead, she got blood.

Rogues attacked. Jace died saving her.

And as Ayla stood frozen, watching Rowan Thornridge, the real Alpha heir, fall to his knees, clutching his brother’s lifeless body and wailing in agony, her wolf whispered one word that shattered her world; Mate.

That was the moment the Moon Goddess cursed her.

Now, two years had passed but Rowan never accepted the bond. Never rejected it either. He chose to make her suffer. At school, he turned the pack against her. Public humiliation. Cruel pranks. Silent threats. Everyone followed his lead. No one dared question the Alpha’s fury…not when he blamed her for Jace’s death.

But Ayla didn’t ask for any of this. Not the bond. Not the grief. And definitely not the growing darkness following her every step. Because someone wants her dead. Again. And this time, Rowan is the only one standing in the way.
