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 finished packing clothes and went to the kitchen and grabbed food to bring with us.


Thankfully, there were a lot of foods that didn’t spoil for a long time. I grabbed cans of tuna, sardines, spam, and two bags of beef jerky. We’d have to boil water to make it drinkable, since we couldn’t bring a lot of bottled water along.


I grabbed everything and met Zander outside, my eyes asking if he was ready to go. We had to go the long way back to my pack. It was going to take a few days to get back there on foot. I wished we could take the truck, but it wasn’t smart to have a vehicle. 


We didn’t want to be followed by anyone and be brought in for questioning. 


As we walked, I kept glancing behind us to make sure no one had trailed after us.


A realization hit me. I’d be alone with Zander for quite a while. My heart raced with the thought. How would I fight the attraction? It wasn’t like I could leave him on his own in the woods.
