Revenge of the Rejected Mate

Revenge of the Rejected Mate She didn't come back for love. She came back with a file, a deadline, and five years of cold fury. Lyra Voss is the most effective debt collector in the northern territory. She is also, as of this morning, contractually bound to collect from the Alpha who rejected her at nineteen - classified her as unclaimed and handed her to the system that spent three years pretending to free her.
One more collection buys her freedom. Riordan Ashford is the tenth. But Crestfall's territory is burning through her bond suppressor. And the Alpha who was supposed to be her target keeps opening doors she expected to fight through - handing over files she didn't request, putting the truth on a table between them, and waiting in silence while she reads it. He knew she was coming. He left the doors open.
In the archive, she finds something that changes everything - a document that turns her five years of careful revenge into someone else's instrument, and a choice that was never supposed to be hers to make. He's not asking for forgiveness. She's not sure she came here for revenge anymore. Slow burn, pack politics, and a bond that doesn't care about professional ethics. She came for the reckoning. He said he'd be here.
This time, she believes it.
