Future Alpha Cleo Sharpe believes that she has it all: an amazing future, a devoted pack, and a handsome fiancé.  She is horrified to learn that her mate is the pack loner, not the man whose ring she wears. Zander Underwood is a man on a mission: he is determined to find his parents’ murder, even if it means breaking his own heart and abandoning his mate. As Cleo learns more about the dark forces that haunt the wolf packs, she will be forced to choose between the life she has al-ways imagined and the enticing pull of man as intoxicating as he is mysterious.

The Alpha's Reluctant Mate

Zander gazed into my eyes before pulling away quickly. My heart was racing so fast. I wondered if he heard my heart beating. It felt as if it would leap out of my chest.


He said apologetically, “I don’t know what came over me. Please forgive me.”


Forgive him for trying to kiss me? He shouldn’t have apologized for that. Wait, what was I saying? I had Ash. But I couldn’t ignore what I felt for Zander. He still had my heart rate up just by looking at me.


Finally, I said, “It’s okay. Let’s just forget about this.”


I turned my gaze away from him and tried to calm myself down.


He seemed different tonight, and I felt more aware of him than usual. Part of me wanted that kiss from him. I shook my head and noticed he was watching me.


“Nothing.” I tried to avoid eye contact and added, “We should get back on the road.”
