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 

It's wild how once everything fades to black, the world seems so much brighter when my eyes finally open. It doesn't seem like I've been out for long, but my body is sore. The ground underneath me feels wet. It feels like my whole world has changed.


Even though it's night, I have no trouble seeing. But I’m terrified by what I see, so I quickly reclose my eyes.


Of course, I can’t keep my eyes closed forever. 


What I'm seeing is horrific. There are bodies all around me, covered in blood. Their limbs are ripped off at unnatural angles. Their life coats the forest floor.


All of the wolves who were chasing me are dead. These are wolves from my pack. These are wolves who I grew up with. They are wolves who I've loved.


I wonder what happened. I wonder why I'm still alive. I wonder...


I look down at my hands and see that they're covered in blood. But I don't have very many marks on me. This blood is someone else’s blood.
