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.

Too Beautiful for the Alpha

/"I have to go./" I stand up and wander to the door. /"I can't be here. I have to leave. I can't live like this./"

I wander down the stairs and lose sight of Gail. My feet take me to the odd cabinet but it's locked and I can't open it and I become frustrated and desperate. I turn towards the small library, but the nob won't turn. The house seems to shrink with me inside, so I stagger outside and gaze up at the sun.

I look down to see a familiar face, it's his Beta, Will. He nears me and I step back. /"Can you help me? I n-need to go home. I live at the Waters Pack./"

He looks confused, then I notice Alpha Grant coming this way in the distance. /"You're going home? What for?/" The Beta asks, but I continue to back away, not wanting to see Alpha Grant, but he's already seen me. The air leaves my lungs and they shrivel.
