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

I find myself sleeping in, not waking up until noon. At first, I see the clock and think that it must be broken, but then I head downstairs and Gail and Theresa greet me.

/"Someone was tired,/" Gail says as I sit down with Theresa at the table. /"What time did you go to bed?/"

/"A normal time,/" I say slowly, still waking up. /"I thought someone would wake me if I was still sleeping past ten./"

/"We would have, but Alpha Grant left a note to let you sleep. He said you needed rest./"

/"You do look well rested,/" Theresa chimes in. /"We all need to sleep in now and then./"

I nod and thank Gail as she places a plate in front of me. /"How long will they be searching for camps for?/"

/"Usually all day, why? Are they searching for camps?/"

I nod again, taking a bite out of the sandwich. /"That's what James said. They're searching past the East border./"

/"Well, I'd assume he'd be back for dinner then./"
