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

Noah sighs. /"It sounds like a cycle to me. He's just going to keep lying to you, Rae. And even after all he's done before, you still wanted to be with him? You never tried to reject him?/"

/"I couldn't bring myself to reject him,/" I lie. /"He just—he sucks me back in. It's the bond, it's his face, his voice, everything. When we're apart, it hurts. All I want is to see him./"

/"It's because of the bond, because you haven't broken it. You have to reject him./"

My eyes wander down to my hands as they sit on my lap. /"I know, but I don't want to. Is that bad? Does that make me weak? Pathetic? Am I pathetic? Some part of me believes in him, that he wants the best for me. What if he's just making mistakes to protect me? What if the lies are for my own good?/"

Noah shakes his head. /"Relationships aren't built off of lies. How could you trust him? You couldn't. You deserve better than that./"
