Hunted By The Alpha's Claim

She spent two years erasing herself. He spent two years choosing not to find her. Now a blizzard has locked them in the same room — and neither of them can pretend anymore.

Ophelia Vass doesnt exist on paper. No credit trail, no pack ties, no name that anyone can trace — just a wildlife photographer named Lia Vale, moving through Montanas backcountry one cash transaction at a time. Running from the wolf shifter pack that tried to hand her off like a political asset was the bravest thing she ever did. Stopping was never part of the plan.

Evander Thessvorn has known where she was for two years. He could have retrieved her on day one — that was his right under the Compact, his duty as Alpha of Duskhollow Pack. He didnt. He told himself it was strategy. His wolf knew better.

When a mysterious tip sends Ophelia straight into a mountain storm — and directly into Evanders remote lodge — the forced proximity theyve both been avoiding becomes impossible to outrun. He is not the man she expected. She is not the woman his files described. And the mate bond humming between them is nothing like the political obligation either of them had decided to feel nothing about.

But Ophelia didnt run from one packs control to surrender to another Alphas claim. If theres going to be a future here — in this lodge, in this pack, in this terrifying feeling she is increasingly unable to name — it will be on her terms, or not at all. And Evander, for the first time in his careful, managed life, finds himself willing to build forty-seven pages of legal argument just to give her back the choice that was taken before they ever met.

Hunted by the Alphas Claim is a standalone sweet paranormal romance featuring forced proximity, a runaway mate, a grumpy-sunshine slow burn, and an Alpha who learns that the most powerful thing he can do is let her choose. No cliffhanger. Guaranteed happily ever after.
