Kara, 18, realizes she must sacrifice herself to save her people. 
She must surrender herself to Romulus, the evil, arrogant Alpha waging war on her packmates. Becoming his mate is her only chance.
She finds herself in a new pack, in a new land, dreading her impending wedding day. 
Will she truly be mated to him?
Will Romulus keep his word and spare her pack? 
Or will her sacrifice be for nothing?


Taken by the Alpha

The cell is bare. Cold. My body aches after my second night sleeping on the hard cave floor.


I am still covered in Romulus' blood. I can't believe I really killed him.


I can't believe I killed the guard, too.


Just then, I hear a noise. It sounds like tapping. I realize it is coming from the cell next to me.


It is the girl I met yesterday. Romulus' discarded mate. The one who gave me the knife. Who told me the plan.


"Did you do it?" she calls back. "Did you kill Romulus?"


"The guards caught me. And now I am going on trial."


I want to yell at her, to tell her it's all her fault. But she did not force my hand. She did not make me plunge the blade into Romulus.


The sound of footsteps approach. My cell door is opened.


The guard stands there. "Come with me," he says. "It is time for your trial."
