Trace by BE Kelly

I was born to be alpha to my pack—my family. I walked away from my responsibilities, joining the Marines to see the world. I just never expected to fall for Adriana Lopez while I was stationed in El Salvador. She owned my heart until the night she lost everything because of me. Now, she’s dead and there will be no way to tell her how sorry I am. I’ll just have to live with the guilt since there is no way to make amends.

I walked into Tito’s Bar expecting to deliver my news to Trace and keep my walls in place. I learned a long time ago that no man was worth the price of losing everything and everyone you love—not even Trace Rios. He was supposed to be dead but that all turned out to be a lie. Now, I have no choice but to face him and give him the truth—he has a five-year-old son who’s turning out to be more of a handful than I could have ever imagined. I watched him turn into a wolf right in front of my eyes, just like his father and now, I’m faced with no other choice than to tell Trace about him. I can’t go it alone anymore. I need help to raise our little wolf and if that means turning to the only man I’ve ever loved, I’ll do it.
