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

I stayed up late and waited until it was around one in the morning. Zander and I had decided to look around while everyone was asleep. We didn’t want to risk getting caught snooping around. 


That was not a risk I wanted to take. This pack had been like a second home to me for the past few months. I wouldn’t lose their trust that easily.


Before I left my suite, I went into the bathroom and looked at myself. I had taken off my makeup and looked kind of tired. This was not something I wanted Zander to see. It wasn’t like I wanted to impress him or anything, however. As a girl, I just wanted to look my best regardless of the situation.


I debated whether I should a little makeup on or not for a couple minutes. Seconds later, I chose to reapply a little bit of eyeliner and concealer with a faint bit of pale pink lipstick. It was better than looking like a zombie. I even rebrushed my hair, since it had flattened when I laid on the bed.
