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 followed after me and gently held my hand to stop me in the hallway. I was on my way back to my suite. I looked at him with an impatient expression. Didn’t he see I wanted some distance from him?


Why did he have to after me like that? Zander needed to give me more space, or I’d be further pulled to him. That was the opposite of what I needed. 


I cut him off because I knew what he wanted to say. “I can’t do this right now.” A tear threatened to escape, and I bit my lip hard. “Just go back to your room and forget about tonight.”


He frowned at me and pulled me against his chest. Zander’s eyes looked into mine with an intensity that made my breathing become shallow. I disliked how he affected me so easily. 


Zander gave a pained expression and said, “I don’t want to forget about kissing you. Don’t lie and say you didn’t enjoy it. I know your lips reacted to mine.” He added, “I’d kiss you again to prove it but I won't."
