The Alpha's Broken Mate by Elena Marlowe

He declared her unfit. He watched her walk away. Seven years later, he's standing at her door — and she's the only one who can save his pack. Saoirse Ashveil doesn't do second chances. She's spent seven years building a life as a relic-hunter in the highland border territories, reading ancient curse-signatures in ruined clan stones and answering to no one. She's good at it. She's good at everything, now that she's had to be. What she is not good at is forgetting the night Aldric Vane stood in front of his entire pack council and declared her unworthy — based on a lie she never got the chance to disprove. So when the Ironveil Alpha arrives at her door with his pack dying and no one else to turn to, Saoirse has every reason to close the door in his face. She says yes anyway. Not for him. For the wolves who are dying in the highland dirt and did nothing to her. What neither of them expects is what two weeks alone in her ancestral ruins will cost them. A cursed war relic is killing Aldric's wolves from the inside out, systematically destroying the pack bond with a precision that tells Saoirse exactly one thing: this wasn't random. Someone planned it. Someone who knew both of them, who used the night she was exiled as the first move in a game that has been running for seven years. As the danger closes in and the truth unravels one devastating layer at a time, Saoirse discovers that the man who broke her has known the truth about what was done to her for three years — and said nothing. The bond between them never died. That's the problem. The Alpha's Broken Mate is a dark standalone paranormal romance featuring a rejected mate who never needed rescuing, an Alpha who has run out of excuses, a cursed relic that threatens an entire pack, and a love story built on truth-telling rather than forgiveness — because some things have to be earned before they can be given. If you love dark shifter romances where the hero has to genuinely grovel, where the heroine never loses herself, and where the emotional payoff is as satisfying as the burn getting there — this is the book for you.
