Carrying His Alpha Brother’s Baby

Sloane has spent three years as Royce’s assigned mate, enduring his refusal to mark her and the suppressants he slips into her drinks. The heir’s public humiliation leaves her bound to a relationship that offers no genuine connection. During a ceremony, she recognizes the Thorne blood in Royce’s brother Kael, changing the balance between them. Kael returns with an unsettling proposal: after Royce has given Sloane nothing, he asks for one night. A true bond follows, and Sloane finds herself carrying Kael’s baby while still entangled with Royce. As the brothers’ rivalry sharpens, she must weigh Kael’s unexpected claim against the danger of remaining tied to the man who has controlled and disgraced her.
