Broken Alpha

In a world where Alphas reign supreme, Silas's life has always been a battle for acceptance. An orphaned Alpha, bullied and cast aside for not being from the pureblood line of his pack, he is finally exiled when a new, young Alpha is revealed-turning one on the same day he turns eighteen. With no place left to go, he runs, pushing himself past the point of exhaustion, desperate to escape the wounds of his past.

But when he encounters a stranger in the forest, his world is turned upside down. The man is his mate, but the bond between them is not one of warmth-it's cold and indifferent. The protagonist, consumed by self-doubt and the sting of rejection, tries to flee, only to seek solace in a freezing spring, hoping that drowning will offer the peace he's been craving. In the stillness of the water, he finally finds a moment of quiet-but will it be enough to heal the wounds that run too deep?
