Marla is arranged to marry Dean, a mate within her pack. And although he is an honest, kind man, she is already in love with Lucas.

Lucas, however, is a wolf outside her pack—making theirs a forbidden, secret love.

Marla’s mother tries to convince her that she is lucky. Dean is a good Alpha, and she should be grateful to be with him.

But her heart knows the truth.

Can Marla grow to love the Alpha? Or will she always truly belong with Lucas?


Desired by the Alpha

I watch as they drag Marla away, and my heart shatters. I try to tell myself that I did the right thing. After all, she was a trespasser. I don't even know this girl.


I owe her nothing. No kindness, no compassion. She means nothing to me.


I tell myself that over and over. But the reality is, I know that's not true. 


 As soon as I saw her, I felt a connection.  A connection I've never felt before. A connection that tells me that she's my mate.


Maybe I should have kept her here a little while longer, to see if my instincts were right. Maybe I should have talked to her, asked her how she felt. Or maybe I should have just felt into myself and trusted my instincts.  


After all, that's what they're there for.  And my instincts are telling me that this woman is meant for me.


I know that she's my true mate. And now, I've sent her away. I've refused to even talk to her.  I've refused to help her. I've refused to show her any compassion.
