Marked by the Broken Alpha:
A Dark Wolf Shifter Romance
He was supposed to be bondless.
She was never supposed to be his mate.
Aria Moon has spent her life healing the pain other wolves cannot survive. As a Moonveil empath-healer, she can feel the damage inside broken mate bonds—but every wound she takes leaves another crack in her own soul.
So when she is sent through a snowstorm to treat the most feared wolf in Silverfang Territory, she expects danger.
She expects violence.
She expects a monster.
Darian Vale was once an alpha commander. Now he lives alone in a ruined northern lodge, half-feral, scarred, and feared by every pack that whispers his name. The Silverfang council calls him unstable. Bondless. Broken.
But Aria sees the truth the moment she touches the scar carved where his mate mark should have been.
His bond was not rejected.
It was stolen.
And when her own mate mark appears beneath her skin, everything Darian believed about himself shatters.
He is not bondless.
He is hers.
But Darian does not welcome fate’s mercy. He believes he is too damaged to be loved, too dangerous to be touched, and too broken to claim a mate as soft and brave as Aria. The more she reaches for him, the harder he fights to send her away.
Because his greatest fear is not that Aria will reject him.
It is that needing her will destroy her.
As snow traps them inside his ruined lodge, their bond grows hotter, darker, and impossible to deny. Every touch reveals another secret. Every scar hides another betrayal. And when Silverfang hunters come to drag Darian back to the court that destroyed him, Aria discovers her gift may be the only thing powerful enough to expose the truth.
The council has been forcing mate rejections.
They have been carving bonds apart.
And Darian is living proof.
To save him, Aria must stop being the healer everyone uses and become the woman who decides what her heart, her body, and her power are worth.
To love her, Darian must face the court that broke him—and believe that a scarred bond can still be real.
But Silverfang’s darkest secret is buried deeper than either of them imagined.
And some rejected mates were hidden for a reason.
