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

Sure, I didn't have him, but at least I was close to him, at least I got a taste of him.

I swallow. /"Okay,/" I say, trying to choose between 'goodnight' and 'goodbye', but I leave the kitchen after that.

For a moment, I thought he was going to give this a try. I thought he was going to keep me. I thought we would grow together over time, my forgiveness coming after his endless amounts of apologies ranging from different attempts to earn it. I thought we would sleep together in his bed, that I would feel his arms holding me greedily from the world, not wanting to share. I thought we would kiss a hundred more times and laugh and cry and yell. But no. It's over instead. I wasn't even given the chance to forgive him.
