The Alpha Who Chose Me
Cast out by his own pack.
Left to survive alone.
Rejected without mercy, gentle omega Cailean is left alone on the streets of Edinburgh in the middle of November.
No money.
No friends.
Nowhere to go.
When he becomes the target of a violent attack, Ben steps in, a dangerously attractive white wolf carrying the unmistakable scent of his fated mate.
But Cailean is convinced he is too broken to be anyone’s partner.
Least of all someone as steady and fierly devoted as Ben.
Still, Ben offers him refuge in his hotel room. A place where Cailean can rest, breathe, and begin to believe he might survive after all.
And day by day, Ben shows him something Cailean has never dared to hope for—that he is worthy of love.
Cailean needs that kindness far too much to risk telling the truth. He’s certain that once Ben learns the truth, he’ll realize Cailean was never worth staying for.
But how long can you live a lie when your heart has already chosen him?
