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 screamed in horror as my heart dropped to my stomach. I looked down at the rapids and saw no visible sign of Zander.


Maurice came to inspect the rapids and motioned for his pack members to leave. I was left alone and kept my eyes on the rapids.


My eyes welled up with tears while my throat constricted. I understood what Zander did for me, but that didn’t mean that I wasn’t heartbroken. I tried to spot him in the rapids below, but my eyes were too clouded by tears to see clearly. 


I stood there letting all my tears fall down and sank to my knees. Eventually, I got up and decided to go find him when the last of the warriors left. I didn’t want them to follow me and possibly find Zander still alive. The warriors would waste no time finishing him off, and I couldn’t have that happening.


Suddenly, I remembered we had left all of our stuff at our makeshift camp. I needed to grab at least one of our bags of food and clothes. If Zander were alive, he would need food and dry clothing.
