The Alpha’s Summer Miscalculation

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Tillie came to the Redborn coastal estate expecting a quiet summer filled with ocean views, cheap wine, and enough painting time to forget her overcrowded middle school classroom. She did not expect Caius Redborn. Cold, controlling, and devastatingly handsome, the billionaire CEO treats Tillie like a threat from the moment she arrives. He crushes coffee mugs, breaks steel spatulas, and once vaults an entire stone wall just to avoid speaking to her. But Caius is not avoiding Tillie because he dislikes her. He is avoiding her because his wolf has recognized its mate. Bound by an ancient pack law and convinced Tillie has already been claimed by his younger stepbrother, Caius must choose between his loyalty to his family and the bond slowly burning him alive. Tillie, meanwhile, is determined to uncover why the impossible man keeps running from her while secretly stocking the estate with her favorite coffee, snacks, and art supplies.

Meet the characters.

Newly rewritten.

Tillie Wakeford (27)

Occupation: Elementary School Art Teacher.

Supernatural Knowledge: Zero. She thinks werewolves are just “a bit of niche folklore.”

Personality: Sunshine-in-human-form. She is chronically unbothered, accidentally hilarious, and possesses a level of emotional intelligence that she constantly uses to misinterpret Caius’s intense behavior.

Key Trait: She operates on the “Occam’s Razor” of dating: If a guy is acting like a lunatic, he’s probably just a jerk, not a supernatural creature cursed by destiny.

Caius Redthorn (34)

Occupation: CEO of Redthorn Holdings; Pack Alpha.

Supernatural Knowledge: Extensive (and ancient).

Personality: Emotionally constipated on an industrial scale. He views his life through the lens of duty, honor, and sacrifice. He is highly competent at everything except understanding human social cues.

Key Trait: He has an “Alpha” reflex for everything: protection, jealousy, and catastrophic silence. He is currently carrying the weight of a Shakespearean tragedy while everyone else is just trying to enjoy their vacation.

Garrick Redthorn (27)

Occupation: Graduate Student (History).

Supernatural Knowledge: Casual, annoyed indifference.

Personality: A golden retriever in human skin. He is the unintentional architect of his brother’s misery and the inevitable savior of his brother’s love life.

Key Trait: Total, impenetrable lack of awareness. He thinks Caius is just “going through a weird phase.”
