Soulfully Bound - Nicole Dawson

Riley Mercer has never taken what didn't come with certainty.

As Alpha, every decision he makes is measured, controlled, and rooted in loyalty to his pack. His wolf demands order. Strength. Discipline. Love has never factored into the equation-until fate binds him to a woman who belongs somewhere else.

Sirona is a healer from another pack-gentle hands, steel spine, and a heart tethered to the people who raised her. Her family depends on her. Her pack needs her. Leaving isn't just difficult-it would cost her everything she's ever known.

From the moment the bond snaps into place, Riley feels it-the pull, the certainty, the soul-deep rightness of her. His wolf recognizes her instantly. Claims her without hesitation.

But Sirona doesn't belong to him.
And Riley doesn't rule her pack.

Drawn together by a bond neither of them asked for, Riley and Sirona are forced to navigate loyalty, duty, and a love that refuses to be ignored. Every stolen moment tightens the connection between them, even as reality threatens to tear them apart.

Because claiming her would mean asking her to abandon her family.
And loving him would mean choosing between her heart-and her home.

As tensions rise between packs and danger creeps closer, Riley must face the one battle he's never trained for: deciding whether an Alpha has the right to ask his mate to sacrifice everything... or whether love sometimes means letting go.
