The Alpha’s Unwanted Luna Mate

jesse Shackelford

The Alpha didn’t want a mate—especially not her.When fate marks her as the destined Luna of the most feared Alpha in the region, she expects a bond… not a sentence. One cold look is all it takes to understand the truth: in his world, she’s an inconvenience, a weakness, an unwanted claim he refuses to acknowledge.But a mate bond doesn’t care about pride, politics, or old grudges.Dragged into pack life and trapped under rules she never agreed to, she’s forced to stand beside a man who treats the bond like a curse—while every wolf around them watches for her to fail. The pack is restless. The council is pressuring him to take control. And something dark is prowling just beyond the borders, drawn to the power of a Luna awakening.She can either shrink into the role he never asked for… or become the kind of Luna no one can ignore.Because the more he pushes her away, the more dangerous it becomes to want him back—and the more the bond starts to reveal a truth neither of them is ready to face.The Alpha’s unwanted mate might be the only one who can save his pack… and his heart.By jesse Shackelford
