Serving the Alpha at His Whim

Jessica-Lyn Kilian has experienced a tragic loss as her former Alpha, her brother, passed away. Despite the years of hardship and loneliness she endured, she held onto a glimmer of hope. However, her emotions are shattered when an imposing figure enters her life, comparing her to her late brother and blaming her for not reporting their situation to the authorities. This man, Alrick Johannsen from the Silver Ridge Pack, returns from a battle defending the Ruling Council (NARC) only to find his pack under attack, resulting in his own loss. Alrick, unable to exact revenge on the attacker, is now tasked with dealing with the aftermath. Victor, from the Iron Hill Pack, whose sister claims ignorance about her brother's illegal actions, is held accountable by Alrick because she didn't intervene. In a sudden turn of events, he decides to punish her by making her serve him until he decides her fate. For Jessica, she faces three difficult choices: seek refuge with NARC, accept Alrick's punishment, or leave. But leaving is not an option, as her brother's actions have made her a target. As a rogue, both NARC and Alrick hold legal authority to eliminate her. Alrick sternly informs her that there's no place for her in his pack or others, leaving her with a daunting decision. Will their relationship evolve into a deep emotional bond, a soulbond? Or will the revelation of her brother's survival tear them apart, considering Alrick is legally obligated to pursue and eliminate Victor? This gripping story, a standalone installment in the A Black River Pack Series, begins in "His Brother's Mate."
