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.

/" Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Ava... Happy birthday to you,/" Jayden sang, which was surprisingly good.

Now this is a sight that I'd want to wake up to everyday. Jayden was holding a birthday cake in his hands with an apron wrapped around his waist, exposing his bare chest.

/"Hey, sweetheart, the cake is in my hands, but you can definitely have some of this later,/" he smirked, gesturing to himself.

I didn't even realize that I was checking him out until he called me out on it.

/"Who knew you could make baking look so sexy,/" I responded in a seductive voice.

His eyebrows rose in shock as he looked at me, his mouth agape. Normally, I would blush and look away, but not today. Today I turned nineteen.

/"I'm always sexy, sweetheart,/" he said with a cocky smirk.

/"Now be a good girl and blow out the candles,/" he cooed.
