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 heard the sound of Maurice yelping in pain, and he snarled at Zander. His anger radiated off of him. I also smelled a hint of fear coming from Maurice, but he was trying to hide it. He didn’t want to appear weak.


Maurice failed to get away from us. He seemed to be weakening a little.


It would have been bad if I hadn't jumped in when I did. My heart ached when I saw Zander in trouble. I knew that I had to help him, no matter the consequences. 


Losing Zander would’ve been earth shattering. That would’ve made me end Maurice with no remorse. Luckily, it didn’t come to that. I had never killed anyone and didn’t want to. I snapped out of my thoughts and came back to the present.


I kept biting Maurice’s shoulder with my canines and refused to let go. He deserved to have pain for all the harm he had done to Zander and his parents. I hoped he wouldn’t heal quickly from our fight either. It sounded horrible to think that way, but he was a terrible guy.
