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

<p>The process hurts a bit due to the fact that it's been awhile, but when the missed feeling of my fur against the breeze and my paws in the dirt return to me, I feel free. Without wasting another second, I'm off into the forest to blow off some steam.</p>

<p>I haven't been on a run like this in a long time. My father and I used to go on runs together when I was young. He would take me off of pack territory to go down to the lake just a mile away, and there we would swim and I would tell him things that I could never tell my mother. I didn't whine about how I'll never have a Mate, but I told him that I was unsure about my future, where I would end up. He told me not to worry about it now because things end up how they are supposed to end up. All I can do is hang on until the end, and enjoy the journey to it.</p>
