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 look down at the Alpha as I’m awash with conflicting emotions. I want to get revenge on the person who imprisoned my love. I know I have enough strength to kill him, and after everything, I’m mad at everyone in a way I never have been before.


Confidence assures me that I don’t need his help. I can lead a pack without him. I can be the best Alpha without him.


And yet, I suspect his help wouldn’t hurt. It could be good to have a guide, a mentor. And it would be great if the pack just accepted me without me having to use a lot of force. I certainly don’t want to get on their bad side.


I want this transition to go smoothly. I want peace. I want to be with the one I love freely.


As I question what I should do, I notice that the wolf pack has gathered around us. They all saw the fight. They’ll see what I choose. This will shape their opinion on me forever.
