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

She smiles, and out of all the smiles I've been given tonight so far, hers seems the most genuine. /"I see you glancing at my belly,/" she says, relaxed. /"I'm pregnant—just in case you thought it was because of some other bizarre reason./"

/"Oh, no. I know. I'm sorry for staring./"

She shrugs, her gold dress flowing from her body with hints of sparkles as it cascades down. Ava looks to be truly glowing. /"I don't mind. A lot of the woman in here stare at it and nudge their mates. The men, not so mesmerized, but the woman are constantly asking to feel. So, are you wanting one for yourself or are you just intrigued by the fact that I've been standing for this long?/"

A short laugh escapes me. /"No, no I'm just intrigued, I guess. I mean, I'm mostly just glad to see someone around my age who's also in my position./"
