Alpha's Eternal Claim

He said two words that stripped her world bare. Seven years later, he needs her back. She came with five terms. He took them like they were gifts.Tava Sorn doesn't do second chances. When Vashek Oresk alpha of the Oresk wolf-clan and the man whose rejection shattered her bond ceremony seven years ago rides to her Borderland settlement alone, without escort, without warning, she already knows what it cost him to come. She also knows it's not enough. A pack under a centuries-old Scythian curse is dying, and she's the only one who can help decode the ancient Khoravar covenant that might save them. She agrees. On her terms. All five of them.She's not coming back. She's passing through.Except the fortress that broke her has changed. The Oresk wolves are fractured and frightened and their alpha is not the man she left behind. Vashek keeps the exits clear. He says her name before he moves past her. He crouches in training yard dirt for a seventeen-year-old who can't hold his shape, with no audience and no strategy just presence. And the ancient bond mark on her wrist, dormant for seven years, burns hotter with every day that separates evidence from certainty.She is building a case. She refuses to stop building a case. Because the last time she trusted the bond over the evidence, she paid for it in ways that still haven't fully healed.But the Harvest Moon is coming. The curse is climbing. And somewhere below the Khordarh fortress, in a stone vault that smells of three thousand years of covenant and old gold, the Vaitarna inscription waits with its patient, irrevocable truth:The bond lives in the body. But it completes in the word. The claiming is not the instinct. The claiming is the person.Vashek knows what he didn't say seven years ago. He knows what it cost her. He knows what it cost him. And he has been carrying the proof of it in his coat pocket for every day of the seven years since.He is going to have to open the door.She is going to have to decide if she's standing on the other side of it.Set against the mythological world of the ancient Scythian Pontic Steppe wolf-clans, stone fortresses, baba stone sentinels, and a three-thousand-year covenant bond that refuses to die Alpha's Eternal Claim is a slow-burn second-chance paranormal romance for readers who want the grovel earned, the mythology immersive, and the happily-ever-after built from evidence.If you love Nalini Singh's world-deep bonds, Ilona Andrews' formidable heroines, and rejected mate romances where the alpha has to become worthy before the bond completes this is your next obsession.Pick up Alpha's Eternal Claim today and find out what happens when you build a case against your heart and the evidence wins.
