Ava Carter was a 17 year old orphan. She was a member of the Crystal Blue Pack. She was the punching bag in her pack, as people usually walked all over her, literally. She was the weakling, the outcast, the loner who no one ever bothered to get to know.

Until the night of her birthday when she overheard a conversation that left her with no other decision but to leave and never look back. She had never been outside the pack territory, so she had no idea what was lurking in the woods.

She ran into the most handsome man that she had ever seen in her entire life and he uttered one word, four letters that changed her life forever.
"Mine"

Jayden King was the alpha of the North Pack. He was the most feared alpha and was often times referred to as the alpha of all alphas. No one who trespassed on his land, ever lived long enough to tell the tale.

He was a very cold and heartless man. Until the night he ran into someone he had long ago lost hope of finding. 

Now he has her and instead of being the mate that she had always hoped for, he ignores her.

/"What's wrong?/" she asked, shaking my shoulder.

/"No-nothing,/" I said, getting up.

/"I'm not feeling well,/" I said, not looking at her.

/"Ok. Let's head back to the pack house,/" she suggested getting up as well.

On our way back to the pack house, all I could do was think about the person I saw. Josh was here, but why. I knew deep down that he was here for me, but at the same time, I would like to believe that he was here on other business.

As soon as I entered the pack house, I wanted to run out of there more than anything. There was a group of familiar boys standing in the foyer talking to Stella. To be more specific, they were flirting with her.

As soon as the door closed behind me, their attention drifted from her and focused on me. I gulped in fear as I backed away from their murderous glares.
