Review

Alpha Denied Her & Son, Now Wants Everything

If you’re craving a werewolf romance that grabs you by the throat from the very first page and refuses to let go, buckle up, because this story delivers! Prepare for a brutal fall from grace, gut-wrenching heartbreak, and a heroine who defies all odds to build her own destiny, all while grappling with the cruelest twist of fate imaginable: her son’s father is the notorious Blood Alpha… who wants nothing to do with her.

Everly was the golden child, the Alpha’s eldest daughter, groomed to lead her pack. Her future was set, shiny and bright. Until one fateful, alcohol-fueled night at an Alpha meet-up changed everything. She wakes up with no memory, a pounding head, and the terrifying realization that she spent the night with Alpha Valen, the feared Blood Alpha and her father’s biggest rival. The consequences? A pregnancy she can’t remember starting and a life she won’t recognize.

Her world shatters when the pack doctor confirms her pregnancy. Stripped of her title and deemed a “rogue w$$$e” by her own father for not aborting the child (a sin against the Moon Goddess she refuses to commit), Everly is mercilessly cast out. Shunned by the pack she was meant to lead, she is left to fend for herself and her unborn son in the harsh world of rogues, a fate considered worse than death by many.

The raw vulnerability and pain Everly experiences are palpable. Forced to live out of her car, struggling for basic necessities like food and shelter, her journey is a stark portrayal of survival against unimaginable odds. My heart ached for her, a young woman alone with a newborn, abandoned by everyone she loved and trusted. Yet, even in her darkest moments, Everly’s determination to protect her son, Valarian, shines through. He becomes her sole focus, her reason for fighting.

Then, a flicker of hope appears in the unlikely form of Marcus, Alpha Valen’s Beta. His unexpected kindness in offering shelter, even temporarily, at the Blood Alpha’s packhouse feels like a potential turning point. It’s here that the mate bond, previously unknown to Everly due to her delayed shift, hits her with the force of a physical blow. Alpha Valen is her mate. The man who denied her, shamed her, and contributed to her suffering, is tied to her soul.

This reveal is utterly captivating! The sheer irony and angst are off the charts. However, their reunion is far from the sweet fated mate fantasy. A drunk, oblivious Valen immediately rejects her, fueled by his Alpha command and the unwelcome intrusion of a rogue in his home. The physical and emotional pain Everly endures from this rejection and the subsequent betrayal (his infidelity felt through the bond) is agonizingly depicted. It’s a brutal reminder of the power imbalance and the alpha’s capacity for cruelty, even towards his fated mate.

Adding another layer of devastation, Everly’s desperate return to her family home results in further rejection. Her father’s coldness and outright disgust are heartbreaking. Even her mother, while sympathetic, ultimately chooses her mate (Everly’s father) over her daughter and grandson, leaving Everly truly alone. This sequence is emotionally crushing, highlighting the harsh realities of this werewolf society and the devastating consequences of defying its norms.

But Everly’s story is one of incredible resilience. She finds unexpected solace and support in Valerie, a seemingly gruff but kind older rogue woman running a dilapidated hotel. Valerie’s own tragic story of being shunned and having her son taken by his Alpha father resonates deeply with Everly, forging an instant, powerful bond between them. Their shared experiences of loss, rejection, and survival create a compelling dynamic.

With Valerie’s generous offer of a home and a job, Everly begins to rebuild her life. Joined by other rogue mothers, Zoe and Macey (whom Everly met in the maternity ward), they form an unlikely but powerful team. Witnessing these women, discarded by their packs and mates, come together to reclaim their dignity and build something new is incredibly inspiring. The sheer scale of the renovation project they undertake at Valerie’s hotel highlights their determination and refusal to be broken.

Meanwhile, we get glimpses into Alpha Valen’s world. He’s struggling with unexplained physical issues – a mysterious impotence that only seems to resolve when thinking of the unnamed “mystery fairy” from the Alpha meet-up (Everly!). His confusion and frustration are evident, hinting that the mate bond is already affecting him in ways he doesn’t understand. His notorious playboy lifestyle seems to be grinding to a halt, adding a layer of intrigue to his character. Is he capable of regret? Will he realize the connection to Everly and their son?

The confrontation with her father at the hardware store is another stark reminder of the chasm between Everly and her old life. His dismissive, disgusted look is more painful than any physical blow. It solidifies her status as an outcast in his eyes and reinforces her resolve to succeed without him. This moment underscores the powerful theme of chosen family versus blood relations and highlights Everly’s growing strength.

The slow burn build-up of Everly’s new life – the friendships formed, the hard work poured into the hotel, her pursuit of education – provides a solid foundation for the inevitable confrontation with Alpha Valen. The tension is building, the question lingering: when he finally realizes who Everly is, and more importantly, who Valarian is, how will the notorious Blood Alpha react? Will his Alpha regret be genuine, or just another power play?

This story masterfully blends intense emotional drama with intriguing world-building and complex characters. Everly’s journey is a testament to female strength and resilience, while Alpha Valen is set up to be a formidable, possibly redeemable (or maybe not?) male lead that werewolf romance fans adore. The mate bond as a source of both connection and pain is a powerful narrative tool, promising a tumultuous and emotionally charged relationship ahead.

If you crave stories where the heroine rises from the ashes, the alpha is complicated and potentially possesses a possessive streak a mile wide, and the emotional stakes are sky-high, then you absolutely *must* start reading this now. Prepare for the angst, cheer for Everly and her growing “village,” and get ready for the moment Alpha Valen realizes just what – and who – he carelessly tossed away. Don’t miss out on this gripping journey; dive in and experience Alpha’s Regret for yourself!
