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 POV


Maurice’s threat didn’t intimidate me. No way did he mean it. The man was a coward who didn’t have the guts to tell his pack the horrible crime he committed. His words meant nothing to me. Maurice needed someone to put him in his place.


I looked at Maurice and scoffed, “You don’t scare us. Those are just empty words from a weak Alpha. You won’t act on your words.” I added, “Besides, you’re outnumbered. You can’t beat us.”


Maurice bitterly replied, “How about this? Why don’t you fight me one on one to the death? That will prove who is the better wolf.”


Cleo swallowed and looked at me with worry. I understood her concern for me, but I knew I could handle fighting Maurice. I trained for years, and I am an extremely skilled fighter. She didn’t need to worry.


Maurice was a coward for wanting a one on one fight. A true Alpha would fight us both at the same time. I smelled fear coming from him.
