On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Bria expects to hear the announcement she’s anticipated for two years: that she will wed Nathaniel, her true love.

But then her Alpha breaks the news—and her heart. Bria will never see Nathaniel again. 

Instead, she will be mated to Jeremiah, a wolf outside of the pack.

Jeremiah is strong and handsome, a worthy wolf. But Bria will have to leave her pack, her family, her home, and everything she’s ever known.

Above all, she’ll have to leave Nathaniel. 

Can Bria learn to love Jeremiah? 

Or will her heart always truly belong to Nathaniel?


Mated to the Alpha 

I'm completely heartbroken that Bria would do something like this to me. As I watch her leave, I want to tell her not to go. I want to tell her that I believe her. Part of me does believe her, but I can't.


I can't believe her because I saw the proof for myself. I saw the paw prints. I saw the things in her room. If she didn't do it, then who did?


I start to walk back from the park, feeling completely drained and overwhelmed. I don't know how to cope with this. When Bria came into my life it was like a spark that lit everything on fire and now it's burned out and empty. I just want her back. I just wish she hadn't betrayed my family like that.


As I walk though, I start to think about what she said. Bria said that she was at some diner with Emily. That can't be true because Emily was with her sister. But what if it isn’t true?
