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 was a nervous wreck with all those curious eyes staring at me, waiting for my response. I knew that Jayden did this on purpose if that amused smile was anything to go by. He was enjoying this way too much, and I thought that he thought that I wouldn't know what to say, but I was about to prove him and all the rest of them wrong.

/"I suggest that you have an emergency bunker in place to evacuate everyone who won't be able to defend themselves,/" I said with a proud smile.

/"And what makes you think that we don't already have an 'emergency bunker'?/" Jayden smirked.

Of course, he'd already thought of everything. You don't stay on the top by not staying ahead. It was like he was always two steps ahead of his enemies, and that was one of the reasons why he was the most powerful alpha.
