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

In the morning, Alpha Grant is gone, so I leave my bedroom and head to the kitchen for breakfast. Gail and Theresa are there, and I sit with them at the small table. Gail had already whipped something up, and she sets the plate in front of me only two seconds after I take a seat. /"What is Alpha Grant's first name?/" I ask and they both give me odd looks.

/"It's James, after his father,/" Gail says.

I nod. How perfect. /"How long have you two been at the pack house?/"

/"I've been for five years, and Theresa has been here forever./"

Theresa smiles. /"I've been since James was a young one./"

Curiosity gets the best of me, and I can't help but ask, /"What was James like as a child?/" It feels odd to call Alpha Grant, James. It feels as if I am playing Julianna and him, his father.
