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.

Bruised

Fixing my cloak so that it could completely conceal my face, I stepped out of the car. I walked up to the entrance of the pack house, where alpha Benjamin of the Crystal Blue pack was waiting with a polite smile. That smile wouldn’t be there for long though.

/"Alpha Jayden, to what do we owe the pleasure of you gracing us with your presence?/" he asked with a bow.

I nodded in acknowledgement and could see from my peripheral vision that his son was glaring daggers at me. I turned my attention to him, and he straightened up quickly and bowed to show his respect.

I smirked in satisfaction and focused my attention back on his father. He ushered me inside and led me to what I presumed was his office. When we got inside, he took a seat behind his desk. I took the seat in front of the desk.

/"What can I do for you?/" he asked.

/"Cut the bullshit,/" I said, getting straight to the point.
