Lycan Alpha Marked

Five winters ago, Mara Gray was banished from her pack and declared dead. Now she’s crossed the old boundary again—and the scar on her shoulder burns like it remembers exactly why.She returns for one reason only: her mother is gone. But at the ridge cemetery, grief turns to something sharper when Mara finds not just her mother’s grave… but her own. Her name carved into stone. The word Traitor cut beneath it.The pack didn’t just exile her. They erased her.As snow falls and old wounds reopen, Mara is forced to face the truth she’s spent years running from—the bond that marked her, the Alpha who cast her out, and the home that buried her alive. The howl that answers her grief is not a warning. It’s a summons.Returning is easy. Being heard in a place that has already judged her may cost Mara everything she has left.Dark, emotional, and raw, this story is about exile, grief, unfinished bonds, and what it takes to walk back into a world that has already decided who you are.
