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 spent the majority of the night by Ember's side, with all of us hoping that our mate bond would trigger something inside her, but to no avail. There was no drastic change in her condition, and it filled my heart with sorrow. Brutus was both devastated and furious at the condition of his soulmate, but there was no one left for us to take our anger out on.


Ulfric had left, leaving a promise of swift repercussions with Josh, hastily retreating when Rae appeared at his side.


Being marked as traitors to the crown was less than ideal, but there was no turning back now.


"Nate, you should really think about taking a break," Becky suggested softly from where she sat, Rob's arm curled protectively around her.


"She's right, Nate. Go back and catch a few hours' sleep. You know we'll take good care of her." Rob added with a concerned frown, "You're no good to anyone if you're sleep deprived, least of all Ember."
