Rae East has always cast herself off as a girl not worthy of a Mate. With a past of self-doubt and expectations of a hopeless future, her theory crumbles when she discovers she is mated to an Alpha. Not expecting anything from it, Rae finds herself in a confusing situation. Giving no clarity, her Alpha Mate brings her back to his pack with no purpose.

She sinks into herself, lost, alone, and in pain. With a Mate who has no interest in her whatsoever, Rae struggles to find her purpose in the pack and in her own world.

Not knowing if she has a future with the Alpha she can't help but want, Rae must search elsewhere for happiness like she had once planned. But with a taste of the bond she can't help but share, it becomes difficult to move on from the Alpha who holds her heart captive.

/"This is ridiculous. Put down the knife./"

/"Yes,/" Gail joins him, /"put down the knife, dear./"

I repeat, /"If you want me to stop, then you'll have to take it yourself./"

Alpha Grant strides towards me and grips the knife, his fingers brushing against my neck. He takes it from me and sets it down beside me on the counter, and as he's leaned forward he says, /"you're not getting a thing back./"

I watch him intensely as he glances to Gail then turns to the door. I stare at his back before he vanishes into the house, swallowed by its hidden hallways and shelved-off rooms. Gail turns to me. /"Now what was that about! Don't you do that again!/"

/"Sorry,/" I say, a fire ignited inside of me, feeding off of his reaction. As much as he wants to feel nothing for me, he can't help it, I know that now. I know that.
