Here's "Alphas Never Hide" by Lori Ames. It's the fifth and final novel in her Willow Lake Supernaturals series.
["The wolf who refuses to be Alpha.
Hayden Walker might be trapped in Willow Lake by guilt and duty, but he's no one's alpha. It doesn't matter how many times people call him Alpha, with a capital A like it's his name, he just isn't—just ask his last pack. They had no problem rejecting him to follow his traitorous brother, Robbie, twelve years ago.
Hayden thought he'd come to terms with what happened back then, but it turns out some things don't get easier to accept with time. After discovering his brother's latest sinister activities, Hayden can't hide from the truth anymore. He has to stop him, particularly when Ryley Bell, his fated mate, is his brother's latest victim.
Hayden can't let his brother harm anyone else. Robbie won't take anyone else from him. Not again. Never again."]
And the official tags (because they're the best): ["MM Fated Mates Paranormal Romance, a wolf who refuses to be Alpha, a faun who doesn’t put up with his mate’s nonsense, let’s pretend a kick in the face is a sign of love at first sight, the Eternal Magic is a persistent diva, the confrontation between brothers we’ve all been waiting for, Hayden has a pack whether he wants one or not, he will also get his happily-ever-after whether he wants one or not, wolves should listen to their clever mates, and, most importantly, not all fauns play flutes."]
Oh Hayden, you asked for this. Granted, it was a little bit of Mother Magic hitting you over the back of the head and getting you back in line. But it was also Mother Magic giving you Ryley so he could also hit you over the head. At least someone was able to convince you that you were the Alpha.
Ryley also made Hayden relax and smile and give himself grace and peace. He lightened his grief and lightened his life. Hayden gave Ryley his own herd/pack to call his own, a place where he was excepted and cherished for who he is. Hayden made Ryley happy and safe and loved.
This was a fabbbbulous ending to a fabulous series. Off to the spin-off (now or later..who knows).
