Torn Between Two Alphas
1.1k Views · Ongoing · Hannah Tobi
I gave my heart to Ethan Cole long before I understood what love truly was.
As my brother's best friend, Ethan was always there. He protected me, fought for me, and made me believe that maybe one day he would see me as more than a kid following him around. For years, I loved him in silence, holding on to a hope I should have let go.
Then one reckless night changed everything.
For a few stolen hours, Ethan made me believe my feelings weren't one-sided. The way he touched me, the way he looked at me, made me think I finally meant something to him. But when morning came, he shattered that illusion with four devastating words.
"You're like a sister to me."
Heartbroken and humiliated, I left town determined to forget him and never look back.
What I didn't know was that fate had something far worse waiting for me.
The mate I was bonded to became my greatest nightmare. The man who was supposed to love and protect me turned my life into a prison of pain, betrayal, and fear. When he murdered our pup, he destroyed the last piece of me that still believed happiness was possible.
Five years later, I return home carrying scars no one can see and secrets I would do anything to keep buried. I expect my brother to be waiting for me at the airport.
Instead, I come face to face with Ethan Cole.
The man who broke my heart.
The man I never truly forgot.
And the moment our eyes meet, I realize the past isn't finished with either of us.
