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

I ran as fast as my legs would allow me to go. I have never felt as I felt right now in this moment. This was truly the worst feeling ever as the guilt weighed heavily on my chest, making it almost impossible to breathe.

I was standing in the thunderstorm, surrounded by trees and bushes. The weather reflected how I was feeling right now. There was an ongoing turmoil brewing inside me as I was having trouble deciding my fate.

The rain was soaking the white night gown that I was wearing. The gown was now stuck to my body, leaving nothing to the imagination.

It was getting even harder to breathe now. I collapsed to the ground on my knees, getting my clothes covered in mud in the process.

At this point, I didn't care, for what I had done was nothing compared to my clothes getting dirty.
