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 took a break walking after a good distance. I gently set Zander down on some leaves on the ground. He was still unconscious but breathing a little bit more normally. That made me feel better.


Hopefully, it wouldn’t come to me needing to give him CPR. I knew what to do in that situation if Zander stopped breathing but I didn’t want it to come to that. I was terrified that Zander would die under my care. 


Zander was healing very slowly, but his breathing wasn’t as shallow as before. At least he wasn’t getting worse. As far as I knew, no hospitals or civilization were anywhere nearby. It felt like forever since I’d seen a coffee shop or a mall.


After Zander got better, we could go back to my pack. I wondered how my parents were. I hoped they weren’t worried about me being away for so long. 


Pushing the thoughts away, I looked around. Was I close to the cabin?
