The Alpha's Runaway Bride: A Rejected Human Luna, a Secret Baby, and the Alpha Who Broke Every Rule to Win Her Back (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798193455912)

Ivy Calloway never asked to be different. She is the only human inside a pack built on bloodlines and power, brought home by Alpha Damian Voss the night he found her half frozen outside her college dorm and felt something inside him roar to life. To the wolves who watch her from a distance, she is an outsider wearing borrowed clothes in a world that was never built for her. But to Damian, she is the mate his wolf has been howling for since before he understood what the pull in his chest meant.

For months Ivy tells herself the whispers do not matter. She tells herself the cold stares from the pack's most powerful daughter, Selene, the Beta's heir who was raised since childhood to sit beside the Alpha as Luna, are nothing more than jealousy that will fade. She tells herself Damian's hands on her skin at night are proof enough that she belongs.

Then the truth arrives at the worst possible moment, delivered by Selene herself with a smile sharp enough to draw blood. Damian was promised to her in a betrothal older than Ivy's place in the pack, a contract written in wolf law that no human bride can undo. Humiliated in front of the pack she tried so hard to earn a place in, Ivy does not wait for an explanation. She runs, disappearing into the human world she left behind, carrying a secret she does not yet know is growing inside her.

Three years later, a chance encounter drags Ivy back into the world of fur and fangs, and back under the same roof as the Alpha she never stopped dreaming about. Only this time she is not alone. She has a daughter with golden eyes and a growl hiding behind her laugh, a daughter who looks exactly like the man Ivy swore she would never see again.

Trapped together by a danger neither of them can outrun, Ivy and Damian are forced to share space, secrets, and a bond that refuses to die quietly. Selene has not given up her claim. The pack has not forgotten what Ivy is. And Damian is about to learn that losing his human mate once was a mistake his wolf will not survive twice.
