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 forgive you./" I couldn't believe my ears when she uttered the three words that I had wanted to hear for so long. I knew that I probably didn't deserve it, but I sure was gonna take it.

I stared into her gorgeous brown eyes glistening with happiness. I honestly didn't know why it took this long for me to realize that she was the only woman I needed.

Everything about her was perfect. There was nothing that she could do or say to change the way I felt about her. Her perfect eyes, face, hair, body, everything about her was simply perfect. Of course, she was perfect; she was a freaking angel for crying out loud.

Holding her in my arms right now was everything I needed. It was a miracle how I was able to be apart from her for so long.
