I spent one forbidden night with my fiancé’s brother—my fated mate. Five years later, I walked into his wedding. Worse? He’s my new boss and my secret baby daddy.

I was the cursed Omega no one wanted, bullied by my sisters, shamed by my father, treated like a stain on the pack. Becoming the Regent’s wife was supposed to be my only way out—until my wolf chose his brother instead.  Hayden Drake. Cold. Dangerous. Feared. My fated mate.

He carried me through my first shift, kissed me like fate had claimed us, then threw me away by morning. So I ran—pregnant. I rebuilt my life in a new pack, built a career I loved—

Until I walked into a wedding…and the groom is my son’s father. And Hayden? He cancels the marriage, then buys my entire company just to corner me in his office.

The bond still burns between us, but I’m hiding one truth about our baby.

And my real identity?  It might ignite a war that could cost us everything.

Title:  The Tryant Alpha’s Fated Chase
Series:  Shifter’s Vow #1
Author:  Jennifer Eve
Published:  December 10, 2025
My Rating:  4 stars

The Tryant Alpha’s Fated Chase is the first title in the Shifter’s Vow series.  Hayden’s and Ashley’s story is intense and complicated.  Although Ashley may seem weak and defenseless at first, I enjoyed watching her grow into her own power.  Born into a family that bullied and shamed her constantly because of her status and her wolf, she will grab at anything that can take her out of these circumstances… even following her father’s commands.  Until she discovers her true mate, and soon after their one encounter, finds herself rejected once again… and banished by everyone she knows.  Yet she carried the future with her into a new pack, a haven, until years later, she ran into Hayden again.  Only this time, he knows she’s his mate, too bad that it’s too little too late.

I liked Ashley and the growth she gave herself, actually.  Hard won, due to circumstances that would have broken a weaker woman, but she survived, no, she thrived.  Lesson for others to learn: don’t mess with a mama wolf.  I wanted to like Hayden, but found it difficult to do so.  In all, I found The Tyrant Alpha’s Fated Chase by Jennifer Eve to be an intense, passionate shifter romance with twists and turns galore.  It’s a good story, yet I wanted so much more from Hayden, but I was content with Ashley coming into her own on her own terms.
