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 

Killing people affects me more than before. I guess that’s the tradeoff for having such power. When I’m in tune with the life around me, I mourn that life when it’s gone. I see beyond monsters and see the souls within.


They were going to kill me though. And if they’re going to kill me I have every right to kill them. Even Zade didn’t disagree with that.


So, I make sure nature wasn’t impacted too greatly. Then, I take time to bury the bodies. It makes me lose some progress. I know I’m losing at least a day over this fight, but I can’t just leave their corpses lying in the forest like this. 


Maybe that’s what I would do before, but not now. Now, I dig a hole for each of them. I bury them near each other. Then, I continue on my journey.


Though it has taken me extra time, I do feel good about my decision. It seems more natural this way. I get to keep a bit of my soul too.
