At my wedding, I was betrayed. My fiance made me into a laughingstock and left me to be mocked brutally by the guests.
I was shocked, swamped and heartbroken when the Alpha of the enemy pack, the most powerful and desired man in the city came to me.
“Are you here to humiliate me too?” I asked.
“Amber Collins,” he replied softly, and his thumb gently caressed my cheek. “Will you take me as your husband?”
However, not until a long time later, I found out that none of this was a coincidence.

He lays me on my side. “I’ve wanted to mark you for as long as I've known you...” he murmurs as he presses himself harder against my body.
“Wa... Wait...” I gasp.
But it's impossible. There's no way to stop it. It's a force of nature. A nature that I’m all his, body and soul.

Marriage First, Mate Second

“I have a friend. A shifter who has knowledge of how to cure what ails our kind.  It was she who has given me what I need to care for my mother during her illness. It is the reason she still lives. Modern medicine had failed us, and I truly feared she would pass until I met this woman.” 


I  hope that I am not making a mistake by revealing this information. It is not against her rules, but I need to be certain that I am leading only those who truly need help, and would not harm her. This is a leap of faith that I do not take lightly. There are very few that I trust in this world. 


“Who is she? How do we find her?” Grant is understandably eager to begin. However, I need to explain the conditions of her assistance before I introduce his pack. 


“She lives deep within the forest. Although she has helped me for many years, I only know her by the name, ‘Hope’. I very much doubt that is her real name.”
