I am strong. I am a survivor. I am... free.
It has been almost six years since I escaped my pack, my abusive alpha, my painful memories. Six years of struggle, of hiding and running, but also of joy and laughter and... life, wonderful life. Six years, but the nightmares haven’t stopped completely. Now they are back stronger than ever.
When I went back to the university for my last semester, I expected that my biggest problem would be graduating while working multiple jobs and taking care of my kid. It didn’t even cross my mind that I would meet my fated mate on the first day of school and realize that the past I worked so hard to leave behind had finally caught up with me. 

So now if I want to survive, I have to go against my fate and my heart and do the hardest thing in the world: reject him.

But how do you reject someone who is determined to make you fall in love with him?

　　“I came back for you,” he said and I paused with my hand at the door handle. “Back to the pack. When you turned eighteen, just like I had promised all those years ago, I came for you. Ever since we were children, ever since we met under that bush and watched the clouds together, I felt this connection and I thought… I thought you might end up being my mate. I left the pack to protect my mother and… you. I wanted to gain power. I couldn’t beat my brother’s strength, so I needed a different kind of power. Money. So I studied and worked every single day for this power I now have. And a few months after you turned eighteen, I gathered enough courage to come back even though my brother had already tried to kill me several times.” His voice was trembling and I realized I couldn’t breathe. I turned, slowly, looking at him. His eyes were wide and scared, full of so much regret and self-hatred that it made it even harder to breathe.
