However, she is horrified when she finds out that the next Alpha is her childhood bully, Luke Butler.

Hannah then finds herself entangled with a mysterious vampire businessman the night of this soul-crushing reveal.

With duty calling and sexual tension around the corner, Hannah has a tough decision. Will she defy the Alpha?

“Hannah, you are now eighteen. The time has come for me to pick the new Alpha.”

“And my new husband,” I add, translating what this announcement actually means.

He doesn’t answer but instead gestures for me to turn around. I do, and as I catch sight of the young man who has entered the room, my heart stops.

Behind me stands Luke Butler.

My bully since forever.

“I refuse him.”

Defying the Alpha

Waking up in Luke’s arms feels both surreal and the most natural thing I’ve ever done. I’m not usually a cold person, but next to him, my body feels more at ease and comfortable. I was expecting some kind of awkward period where we’d look at each other and blush at the memory of what we did, but instead, we’ve found this happy place of, yes, you are now mine, any questions?


The day is still young, but the sun has risen a bit for us to see our pathway back. This place is scary and unpredictable in the light of day. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like at night. It is a miracle that nothing has tried to get us this far.
