The Alpha's Protective Mate

She was cast out for being too weak. He claimed her anyway.

Flora Larson has spent eight years invisible—working nights at a rundown clinic, feeding strays she can't afford, and avoiding anyone who might remember her name. Exiled at fourteen for being defective, her vampire blood refuses to do what it should: amplify aggression, fuel dominance, destroy. Instead, it stabilizes. Calms. Anchors.

In a world that worships power, Flora's softness made her a liability.
Ronan Keller doesn't do soft. As Alpha of the Ironveil Pack, he's controlled, calculated, and barely holding his fractured pack together. He doesn't need distractions. Especially not from a broken vampire who should mean nothing to him.

But when Flora saves his life—drawing a lethal poison from his veins with her "defective" blood—everything changes. The mate bond snaps into place. Impossible. Forbidden. Undeniable.
Now Flora is hunted by the father who discarded her, targeted by wolves who see her as weakness, and terrified of the one thing she's never had: protection without a price.

Ronan refuses to let her go. Even if it costs him his pack. His power. His life.
Because some bonds are worth burning the world for.
