Alpha Braddock

Imagine having a tough day? My name is Braddock Westfield, the top werewolf leader, or Billionaire Alpha, of the Crescent Moon pack. After a long 22-year search, I finally agreed to let the elders select a mate to create an heir. Just the night before our special event, our pack faced a brutal attack from rogue werewolves - no pack, no rules, mostly criminals. We lost our strong warrior, Gamma, who's now injured and needs to be fetched from a distant human town's diner. As I pull into the parking lot, I get a devastating call: my chosen mate has been kidnapped on her way to meet me. Filled with anger, I step inside the diner and a captivating aroma hits me, making my wolf's instincts scream "MATE" after all these years. Chaos ensues as two men barge in, demanding someone named Charlie. An elderly woman bravely stands her ground with a shotgun, forcing them to retreat. A beautiful waitress arrives with food, and our eyes meet, creating an instant connection. But she's visibly hurt, with a broken nose, bruises, a split lip, and teary green eyes. I realize I must protect her and bring her with us, despite my complicated situation. As a psychiatrist, I plan to offer her a safe haven and help her heal from her trauma. She'll learn she's a werewolf and I'm her destined partner, which might be difficult to accept, considering our age difference – over two decades. On top of that, I still have to rescue the mate I initially chose, whom I now need to reject. All of this happened before 9 am, believe it or not.
