The Grumpy Alpha's Substitute Mate
(2026)(The fourth book in the Broken Alpha series)
A novel by Flora R Leigh
I was a slave bought just to nanny a ruthless Alpha's little girl.
Yet he claims me with feral obsession—only because I wear his dead wife's exact face.
I’m just a replica. And now, I’m secretly pregnant, and running for my life.
Evelyn
His consuming touch made me believe I was finally seen.
Until I found the forbidden room. The portraits.
I wasn't his mate. I was her monument.
I swallowed the humiliation to protect the life growing inside me.
But when I lay bleeding on the stairs, terrified I was losing our baby... he ruthlessly defended the ones who put me there.
So I severed our bond, plunged into a freezing river, and let him believe I was dead.
Two months later, my baby survived.
I’m standing at the altar, marrying another man to keep us safe.
Until the church doors splinter open.
Alvis
I bought a nameless slave to watch my child.
They handed me a ghost.
But the moment I saw her face, my dormant wolf roared to life.
I punished her for awakening my dead soul. I broke her in the dark and called it fate.
And then I watched her slip into those icy waters.
The severed bond shattered my world. I spent two months in hell, finally realizing she was never a shadow.
Now, she's in a white dress, pledging her life to another man.
She thinks she can run.
I will destroy anyone who tries to keep me from my mate and my unborn child.
Fated mates. Dead wife's double. Secret pregnancy. A wedding he'll burn down to stop.
No Cheating / Complete Standalone
Trigger warning: This book contains themes of grief, emotional manipulation, and scenes involving perceived pregnancy loss.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
