Secretly Engaged to an Alpha

I'd been secretly dating Rowan, a Beta and my brother's best friend, for six years—a secret kept carefully from my brother. The deception weighed heavily on me, a constant, low thrum of guilt.

Then, one night, hidden in the shadows, I overheard him and a friend. Their careless words painted a picture: Heidi, his first love, was back.

And I? Just a rebound, a temporary placeholder until she returned. He planned to dump me, oblivious to the fact that I was already planning my escape.
