Luca Vega is a shy, compassionate nerd. He longs to meet his mate, his other half, someone who will accept him and love him for who he is.

When he meets Ashley Blakely his quiet life spins out of control. Ashley Blakely was a barbie and proud of it. Pink was her favourite colour, fashion was her life, and social status was law. She couldn't wait to meet her mate. At least that's what she thought.

She knew he would be an alpha, strong built, and every girl would want him. He would dress in designer clothes and they would be the new it couple because she would settle for nothing less.

What happens when her mate turns out to be the nerdiest of all nerds and the runt of the pack? Well, she rejects him of course. Add another woman, some hidden secrets, and life for him takes on a whole new meaning.

The mate she rejected

　　"Luca!" she screamed as the guards restrained her. She was more beautiful than I remember. Her curves were more defined. Her hair had grown some and slightly grazed her hips. I wanted her. I wanted her badly. "Release her," I said in my alpha tone. They immediately let her go and she ran to me.


　　She jumped into my arms and wrapped her legs around me. I was stunned but I decided to take advantage of the situation. Any excuse to touch her.


　　I gripped hips and inhaled her scent as she clinged to me just living in the moment. I knew it couldn't last so I enjoyed it while I could. After a few minutes reality started to sink in and I reluctantly tore her off of me.


　　"Pardon my French sweetheart, but what the hell are you doing here?" I asked her.


　　"I wanted to see you. I had to warn you," she said, not taking her eyes off of me. It didn't escape my notice she was ogling me.
