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.

/"You're drunk, Rae. If you actually got hurt I would be as good as dead./"

I roll my eyes and stumble along the path, tripping over rocks. /"I'm never going to another gathering again. Never. Can we—can we even go back? Or is his father still there?/"

/"We were at the gathering for, I don't know, three hours. He should be gone./"

I stop and look back at him again. /"Three hours? How?/"
