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.

'Get up,' a gruff voice whispered in my ear. The voice owner later planted a wet kiss on my face and then trailed their tongue along my cheek.

/"Five more minutes,/" I mumbled, rolling over on my side and burying my face in the pillow.

/"Ava we're not doing this again!/" the annoying voice complained.

/"Fine! Have it your way,/" the person said in a defeated voice.

Shortly after, I could hear retreating footsteps, so I assumed that the person had finally left me to get back to my sleep. I sighed deeply, burying my face even more into the pillow, inhaling Jayden's alluring scent.

Just as I felt myself drift back to sleep, my eyes shot open. I jumped out of bed and put my hands up in a defensive stance, ready to blast the culprit who was responsible for waking me up.
