The Beta's Rogue Traitor

Can love flourish between duty and distrust?

Slow-burn
Rejected mates
Faund Family
shifter

She has spent her life searching for a family. He is the Beta sworn to protect his pack—even from her.

Matilda has survived abandonment, an attack, and years without answers about where she came from. When she is brought under the protection of the Black Mountain Pack, she becomes the prime suspect in a betrayal that threatens everyone inside its borders.

Parker Horwood trusts evidence, procedure, and control. As Black Mountain’s Beta, he is determined to uncover the infiltrator hiding among them. But when Matilda’s first shift reveals her as his fated mate, he refuses the bond rather than risk his judgment—and opens the door for someone else to gain her trust. Then the mother who abandoned Matilda returns with secrets, promises, and one dangerous request.

Every clue points to Matilda. Every lie pushes Parker further away. And while an enemy inside the pack prepares to strike, Matilda must decide whether blood makes a family—or whether belonging is something she can choose for herself.

The bond woke up. The trust didn't.

A slow-burn paranormal romance of a rejected love, dangerous desires, and pack politics.
