What if the love you thought was dead... was still alive? Five years ago, Finn fell in love with an alpha he shouldn't—his student. Eighteen years younger, and a wolf from the despicable Weregrits, Dante is exactly who Finn shouldn't bed... except he's the only person who has seen Finn for who he is, and the only alpha Finn has ever loved. When an argument goes wrong and a riptide washes Finn away, everyone—including Dante—believes Finn dead. In grief, Dante has spiralled and murdered. Fresh out of jail for his crimes, Dante returns to Finn's old home, intent on paying his respects to his dead omega... except he finds Finn still alive. And now Finn wears horrific scars from that accident. Worse, Finn is in heat. After a blazing night together, Finn conceives. The pups are Dante's. The pack hasn't forgotten Dante's crimes, and Finn hasn't forgotten Dante's love. Dante's not leaving his omega again. But as the pack threatens their bond, and as Dante's past catches up with them, can he keep his family... or will he lose them all? The Forbidden Alpha is a 86k wolf-shifter novel with MPreg, May/Dec, teacher/student, second chance and ugly duckling themes, a scarred omega who learns to love himself, and a loyal alpha who learns what it means to be pack.
