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

Then I hear the wonderful, familiar calling, /"You're too close to the borders. Go back./"

I follow the voice blindly. /"Actually, I'm looking for a guard to help me. I've been wondering about the rogues in the area lately and—/"

A man suddenly appears. /"I'm sorry, but you have to go back. The borders are not safe./"

/"Not safe? Because of the rogues? Or just because you want me to leave?/"

His eyes look off into the distance, into the deep forest as if he is watching for someone. /"Go back. Now. This is an order./"

This was rushed, I feel it. I can't just panic for a moment and come running to the borders like I have everything all figured out. It's the kiss—I can't stop thinking about it, about the way it felt, about how he grabbed me and made me feel so good in just a flash. He's dangerous. A man who hurts me then pleases me so easily is dangerous.
