Chapter 1 Knot Her Omega
Pack Alphas of Pinecrest Harbor
He walked away from one Alpha’s control. He never planned to fall for another.
Leif Anders thought leaving Carson Hale behind would be the end. He filed the report. He left his job. He built a quiet new life in Pinecrest, a small town where no one knew his past.
After giving up everything to move, Leif swore never to let another Alpha close enough to break him.
But Emily Wilson isn’t like Carson. Her strength offers support instead of control.
Her confidence draws him in, piece by careful piece, until he can’t ignore the pull between them or the way her presence makes him believe in belonging.
But then Carson shows up again. First for a weekend summit. Then as the new head of Pinecrest Academy, where Leif’s new charge is starting school, and where Leif can’t avoid him if he wants to keep his new job.
When Carson’s attention threatens the fragile peace Leif has built, he’s forced to make an impossible choice. Will standing alone protect him this time… or cost him the one person who could teach him that love doesn’t have to hurt?
