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

　　I had danced with Ember until her legs had almost given way underneath her and quite honestly, I don't think either of us had ever laughed as much as we did tonight.


　　Our pack members had watched with pride and happiness as they saw for themselves a different side to me when I had my mate in my arms. It was so obvious that this was what had been missing from my life for so long, my beautiful mate, Ember.


　　I was keenly aware of the dangerous glares that Beatrice and her friends sent our way as they huddled together and mocked us as we had the time of our lives, but for once, Ulfric didn't seem to give a shit about what was happening around him, he was far too deep in his drink to register much of what was going on.


　　I don't know what had happened to the fearless King that he had been when he first took the throne, but now, he was nothing but a shadow of his former self.
