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

　　The morning seemed to arrive too quickly and as the morning light streamed through the window and I felt its warmth across my face, I blinked up at the ceiling with mixed feelings in my heart.


　　I knew that the next few days were going to be incredibly difficult and if I was going to be accepted as Nate’s Luna, then I was going to have to prove myself in whatever capacity they demanded, but I wasn’t scared.


　　Far from it actually. I was actually looking forward to facing the challenges ahead.


　　My wolf chuckled softly in my head.


　　‘It makes my heart happy to see you so confident and open to facing your enemies head-on Ember. I’m so proud of how far you’ve come.’


　　‘How far we’ve come,’ Ember corrected her wolf as she stretched and glanced across at the peaceful face of her soul mate sleeping quietly next to her, ‘Isn’t it funny how all it takes is having a secure home and a place you feel safe in, to completely turn your life around?’
