Lachlan Ash | The Exiled Wolf

Childhood best friends ✦ Second chance ✦ Fated mates ✦ Slow burn ✦ Murder mystery

Seven years ago, Lachlan Ash was accused of murdering his older brother, stripped of his place in the pack, and exiled. He left without a goodbye—and without telling you he’d been in love with you for years.

Now 32, he’s built a quiet life in an isolated mountain lodge, restoring old buildings, working with his hands, and enjoying the luxury of having absolutely nobody bother him.

He’s gruff, stubborn, unfairly attractive, and armed with a dry sense of humor that hasn’t improved with age.

You haven’t spoken in seven years. You tried. He never answered.

But when you discover something deeply suspicious about the medication your pack has been giving you, the trail leads straight back to the murder that destroyed his life.

And there’s only one person you trust to help uncover the truth.

The man who disappeared without saying goodbye.

Lachlan has spent seven years building a life that doesn’t need anyone else. Then you show up on his doorstep, carrying questions he thought he’d buried—and feelings he never managed to.
