Mated To The Mountain Wolf by Elena joey

Aurelia "Rory" Finch left Blackpine Hollow twelve years ago and never looked back — not for the funerals, not for the ghosts, not for the town that always felt like it was hiding something behind every friendly smile. Now, broke and freshly single after calling off her own wedding, she's back for exactly three weeks: just long enough to clean out her late grandmother's cabin and sell the only inheritance she has left. She doesn't expect the mountain behind that cabin to be wolf shifter territory. She doesn't expect a scarred, ferociously guarded Alpha to drop to his knees in the dirt the second he catches her scent. And she definitely doesn't expect to learn that she isn't just back in Blackpine Hollow — she was born to it, her own wolf locked away twelve years ago to keep her alive through a war she never knew existed. Kane Ashwood has dreamed of a green-eyed stranger since the night he became Alpha at nineteen. He never let himself believe she was real — until she nearly ran him over on a dark mountain road and every careful wall he's spent fifteen years building came crashing down in an instant. Now, with an old enemy circling, a forbidden bond straining to break free, and a secret buried deep enough to reignite a twenty-six-year war, Rory has three weeks to decide who she really is — furniture restorer or fated Luna, runaway or heir, human or hers. Some mates are found. Some are fated. And some mountains never stop waiting for the one girl who got away. Fall hard, fall fast, and fall for the wolf who never stopped dreaming of her.
