Alpha’s Broken Promise

He promised her the Moon.He broke that promise in front of the pack.And she walked away before it destroyed her. On the night Elara was named fated mate, the bond was undeniable and the vow was public—until political pressure and fear pushed the Alpha to choose a treaty over her dignity. In a single decision, she was stripped of status, silenced, and hidden away, reduced from future Queen to inconvenient liability. Refusing to beg or break, Elara rebuilds herself in the shadows of the pack she once trusted. As war looms and alliances fracture, her strength, strategy, and resolve rise where ritual authority fails. She becomes indispensable—not because of fate, but because of who she chooses to be. When the Alpha finally realizes that power built on betrayal cannot stand, regret comes too late to erase the damage. Redemption, if it exists, must be earned through action, not vows. And Elara will not trade her hard-won autonomy for beautiful words ever again. Now, as enemies close in and the pack’s survival hangs in the balance, Elara must decide what she is willing to claim—and what she will never surrender. Because if love returns to her life, it will be chosen freely… or not at all. A powerful forsaken-mate shifter romance about broken vows, earned redemption, female strength, and choosing yourself before choosing love.
