Too Late To Howl: My Alpha Realizes Her Mistake After I Left

Synopsis

Before Eleni Gomez's birthday, Dario Callahan returned to downtown Silvoron after a year-long border patrol assignment clearing rogues. The moment he reached the arrival point, he caught Eleni's scent immediately, winter pine and wildfire, the unmistakable signature of an Alpha. Then he saw her surrounded by her Beta unit. Unlike her usual composure, her inner wolf howled for him alone. Pack wolves howled in formation, their voices weaving a welcome song across the night sky. Dario smiled, reaching for her hand, and the two held each other tight. But that night, he smelled something else. While he was gone, Eleni had an omega tagging along. It was Rory Weinstein, a newly accepted pack member. He served as a healer and worked closely with Eleni, tending to wounded hunters. He wasn't tall and wore glasses, but there was something about his eyes and brows that reminded Dario of himself. Rory had shadowed Eleni for a full year, but her bond with Dario always hummed a warning at his approach. She flinched when he reached for her. However, during a clearance operation, Rory leapt between Eleni and a rogue, and a silver dagger scraped his chest, a blow that might have killed him. From that moment on, the warning hum ceased. When he stood close, she did not walk away.
