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 want to run after. I know I shouldn't. Not after what she did to me. Marla broke my heart. But I love her.


I wish I didn't. I wish I could just forget about her. I wish my heart didn't beat faster every time she says my name.


I walk into my bedroom and close the door. I need to clear my head.


She had no right to come here. To confuse me like this. She said we were done. She said that. It was her decision, and nothing I said was going to change her mind.


And I begged her. Me. The Alpha. I begged her. And that is not what Alpha's do.


And then she has the never to waltz in here and just expect me to forgive her. To let this go.


It's outrageous. It's an absolutely ridiculous request. But I want to fulfill it.


And that makes me angrier than anything.
