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

After we started walking for a while, I shifted and gripped my bag with my sharp canines. Zander followed my lead and shifted quickly. We started to run at a very fast speed. Zander and I had to return to the pack before the next nightfall.


It may have been a couple miles when I caught a familiar scent. It was the old scent of my dad through the thicket of trees. We were finally getting close to our pack’s territory. I felt a major sense of relief at being home again. 


I couldn’t believe I was back after all this time away. I wondered if anything had changed during my absence.  


I shifted and didn’t bother leaving Zander’s side. We had already seen each other naked, and I didn’t feel the need to be modest anymore. Zander shifted after me and moved next to me while I changed.
