"Who are you?" I came awake with a jerk, disoriented and aching all over. 
A heavy male body lay beside me---we were both naked except for the sheet covering our bodies. 

I searched my memories of the night before, trying to figure out how I had gotten here while attempting to wrap the sheet around my body. I stopped when I realized I'd leave my bed partner totally nude.

I remembered myself saying over and over, "I'm your mate!"

I eased myself off the bed to look for clothes. I tried to be as quiet as I could so I didn't wake up the stranger. 

His scent was all over me, all over everything really. Rich and masculine, every time I breathed I felt as if I was being surrounded by the forest with hints of wood and a warm spice I couldn't name. I wanted to crawl back into bed beside him and never leave.

My wolf, Rayne, grumbled in my head, "We shouldn't leave! He is our mate!"

Rejected My Alpha Mate

"Beta Carson Merrow. You're welcome here on Moonglow land. As I understand things, you are Rachel Flores, Nathan Lewis of Full Moon Pack, and this much be our Alpha Inspector?"


I had never been in such a huge pack house. The place was a sprawling wooden structure which had the appearance of a log cabin with all the amenities of one on the inside. Handwoven rugs, furs, and quilts obviously not stitched together by any machine decorated the place while also serving a purpose.


I had the feeling everything on Moonglow land was meant to serve a purpose; I wondered if they would see me as anything more than a potential threat or if I wanted them to see me as anything else because what happened to me if they decided I was going to be useful to them? What happened if they wanted me and my baby girl as carriers of Campbell blood?
