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

What a lousy way to start things off. The obvious choice, but clearly a delicate topic. It only takes me a second to regret the question, but I can't help but be curious about it. There is nothing wrong with Noah on the surface, so I'm assuming she didn't reject him. Maybe he rejected her.

He lets out a nervous laugh and I want to dash off. It's too late. I've already ruined things. /"Well, she actually—she died./"

My body sinks into the ground. What have I done?

I swallow and knot my fingers together in my lap. /"Oh,/" I murmur, /"oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked. Sorry./"

/"No,/" he brushes it off, /"it's alright. You didn't know. It's been two years, so don't worry too much about it. It's not a fresh wound./"

/"I'm twenty. I found her when I was eighteen, and she died a few days after. I didn't really know her if that's why you're asking./"
