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.

/"Damn. You look hot. Jayden won't be able to take his eyes off you when he sees you in this,/" Katie gushed.

/"You think so?/" I asked unsurely.

/"If I were a guy, I'd totally hook up with you./" she gave me a playful wink.

/"I don't know. Don't you think it's a bit revealing?/" I asked, looking at my reflection.

/"I'm not doing this again. You've found fault with every dress you've tried on, and this is like the tenth dress you've tried on./"

/"But nothing, you look gorgeous, the dress is gorgeous. You need to get rid of all those negative thoughts running through your mind and remember that you are beautiful./"

/"I do look hot, don't I?/" I laughed and checked myself out in the mirror.

I was wearing a beautiful long dress. It was a red dress with thin straps, a plunging v neckline, and a thigh slit. The dress was perfect, and it made me feel beautiful.
