Nicole has spent all her life dreaming of who her mate will be. She spends her days roaming the forest, exploring with her best friend Shelby, imagining the future.

Until one day, Gavin—the Alpha of a neighboring pack—makes an unexpected visit. Nicole has never heard of such a thing happening before. 

And when Gavin finally arrives, he says that he’s here to see Nicole—and that a prophecy foretold their meeting.

Will Nicole fall for the handsome, powerful Alpha? 

Is Gavin her fate?


Promised to the Alpha 

His hesitation is all I need to know. It's a simple question. If he really were my biological father, he would tell me right away. If anyone asked me if I was his daughter, I would agree right away.


But he hesitates. He hesitates and I know what Gavin told me is true. I'm not his daughter. They took me. They lied to me all this time.


I just can't imagine why they did this to me. I don't know why anyone would want to take me, lie to me, or fight over me. But I do know I need to get away from him. I need to find Gavin.


“Nicole, you don't understand,” my father calls after me.


He's not my father though. He's never been my father. I don't know who my parents are. I don't know anything.


So, I keep running. I run away from him before he can get to me. I run into the fighting.


I don't stop running until I see Gavin fighting the alpha. I'm terrified for him. Their fight is the nastiest of the bunch, chunks torn out both of their flesh, gashes all along their sides.
