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 

I never thought I’d be doing this, but I know I have to do it. I have to keep Nicole safe. I have to get revenge.


This isn’t the kind of person I am, but it’s the kind of person I have to be for her. I’ll be anything I need to be for her. I’ll be anything she needs.


It’s not always easy navigating the forest while blind. But I’ve learned how to adjust. My sense of smell, touch, and hearing have become stronger since they’re exclusively what I use to navigate this world with.


So, I rely on them as I run. I tear through the trees, using Nicole as my inspiration. I can do this. I can fix this for her.


I suspect the next place Lizzie will go is to Nicole. But I’m not too sure where Nicole is. Though I have my guesses.


The thing is, I don’t think I exactly need to know where she is. There’s something between us that’s stronger than all other barriers. It helps us. It drives me forward.
