The Alpha Who Hunted Me: His Wolfless Healer Mate

Blake Jewell Werewolf

“I was born a wolfless Omega, raised in the countryside, and brought to Blackwood City for one reason only. To quietly end an engagement the powerful Montgomery family no longer wanted. Decades ago, my grandfather saved their Alpha's life, and the Montgomerys repaid that blood debt with a marriage promise. But to them, I was nothing now. A useless country girl. A shameful fiancée. A problem to be dismissed. My stepfamily agreed. After my mother died, Arthur Hayes locked away everything she left me: her journals, her Healer knowledge, and the inheritance that should have been mine. My stepmother smiled like honey while plotting to erase me. My stepsisters broke into my attic room with sharp shears, ready to ruin my face before I could ever stand before the Montgomerys. They thought I would cry. They thought I would beg. They thought I was helpless. They did not know I had already survived the silver-eyed Alpha who ambushed me on the train, pressed a knife to my throat, and looked at me like I belonged to him. They did not know he stole my mother's moonstone as a promise to find me again. They did not know I had stolen his military-grade pistol before he vanished into the night. And they certainly did not know I had inherited my mother's hidden healing power. So when my stepmother dressed me in a hideous gown to humiliate me in front of Luna Beatrice Montgomery, I turned it into armor. Then I walked into the Montgomery fortress, looked the most powerful woman in the pack in the eye, and said the one thing no one expected. "I refuse to dissolve the engagement." I had no intention of becoming a pawn in their game. I would use the Montgomery name as my shield, uncover the truth behind my mother's death, and take back every last thing they stole from me. But there was one thing I had not planned for. The Alpha who hunted me was already coming.”
