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

　　It worked like a charm. Just as I knew it would. Telling Luca I found my mate made him think I was giving up. I knew now what I had to do.


　　I would give him one last chance to make things right. I know I was sounding crazy but I made the biggest mistake of my life rejecting him. It cost me everything I ever wanted and I just couldn't handle knowing what could have been.


　　He could have been mine. I could have had him for myself. He met me first. If he would have claimed and marked me I would have been Luna and Maxine and my mate would have had second chance mates which was how it should have been.


　　I knew the boy I met was my true mate but I deserved more. I deserved to have it all. Maxine wasn't fit to be Luna like me. She always came in second or not at all unless it was academics.


　　"Now Maxine watch how Ashley does it," her mother told her as I performed the routine for the recital.
