The wolf who refuses to be Alpha. Hayden Walker might be trapped in Willow Lake by guilt and duty, but he's no one's alpha. It doesn't matter how many times people call him Alpha, with a capital A like it's his name, he just isn't--just ask his last pack. They had no problem rejecting him to follow his traitorous brother, Robbie, twelve years ago. Hayden thought he'd come to terms with what happened back then, but it turns out some things don't get easier to accept with time. After discovering his brother's latest sinister activities, Hayden can't hide from the truth anymore. He has to stop him, particularly when Ryley Bell, his fated mate, is his brother's latest victim. Hayden can't let his brother harm anyone else. Robbie won't take anyone else from him. Not again. Never again. Contains mature themes.
