I don’t remember my name anymore, I’m simply Number 42. Locked away, Starved, Tortured, Alone. With only my inner voice to keep me company. Had my torturer finally driven me to insanity? 
As soon as the chance to escape appeared, I took it, my inner voice guiding the way and showing me a world I didn’t know existed. 

How do I navigate a world that refuses to accept me for who I am? 

I am Nate, Alpha of the Wandering Hearts Pack. Our world is brutal and unforgiving, and the weak will not survive long. With the arrival of my fated mate, and I decide to make her Luna. But the Alpha King has voiced his objections, and the rest of our world will fall behind him. 

My mate's wolf is formidable but her human form is fragile. Yet, I know inside her lies something intangible that hints at greater power. It's my duty as her mate to support her as she faces this world and her past. 

Will she be strong enough to overcome it all?

Alpha's Tortured Hybrid Mate

　　Josh had returned with Becky not long after Ember had left me alone so abruptly. I sat staring morosely at the now empty cup of Chai in front of me, her half-empty mug sat mockingly on the counter next to it, as if reminding me of my ineptitude.


　　"All sorted Alpha. Phones are ordered as well as electronic notebooks and a laptop. I'll help them set everything up once they arrive." Josh said brightly as he took a seat next to me.


　　I grunted as I stared at the mugs.


　　The silence extended uncomfortably, and I heard Josh shift uncomfortably in his seat.


　　"Everything okay Alpha? Where's Ember?" He asked tentatively.


　　I turned to face him and shrugged helplessly.


　　"I don't know what happened. We were talking about getting a tutor and personal trainer…things were going so well." I sighed as Brutus whimpered sadly in my head.
