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.

'How do you want to play this? Want me to knock some sense into them?' Alana's voice bombarded my thoughts.

'No, I'll handle this,' I answered.

'They're going to walk all over you,' she snickered but gave up on trying to take control of the situation.

I could see her sitting comfortably eating popcorn like she was at the movies. That was yet another reason why I couldn't fail. I had to show her and Jayden that I could handle myself.

Ignoring the boys' curious stares, I walked around the desk and sat on the other side of the boys. As soon as I perched my butt on the chair, the boys gasped dramatically.

/"What?/" I asked, wanting to know why they acted as if they had just seen an alien.

/"Nothing... It's just that alpha never lets anyone sit in his chair,/" one of the boys spoke up.

/"Is that so?/" I asked, not really intrigued. They both nodded their heads, and I left the conversation at that.
