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

                                                                               Zander POV


I felt a sense of extreme happiness after I woke the next morning. Memories of the night before came flashing through my mind. I smiled while picturing Cleo. She was so damn beautiful. I wished she was still with me. 


I knew I had my full health back, and all my wounds had completely healed. I just felt like my usual self again and didn't feel any pain of the big battle anymore.


A realization hit me. I would never love anyone like I loved Cleo. It had always been her that I was meant for. I rejected the idea of a mate for the longest time but knew I needed her. Being my mate wasn’t the only reason I wanted to be with her.


Cleo was someone I fell in love with because of who she was as a person. I saw leadership, kindness, love, and strength from Cleo. It made me feel lucky that she was my destined mate and no one else’s.
