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.

A lot of things have happened these past few weeks. My baby bump was huge, making it hard to get things done, but I managed.

We were able to finish my welcoming ceremony, and it ended on a high note. We finished with a run in our wolf form through the forest. It was truly a beautiful sight watching all the pack members running alongside me.

Things were finally looking up. I just hoped that there wouldn't be any more unwanted surprises. But it seemed that I spoke too soon because I felt water running down my legs at that very moment.

'You couldn't wait until I finished my ice cream?' I frowned.

When I made a move to walk, I felt a contraction that halted my movement. I hunched over, screaming in pain as I gripped the countertop, the marble snapping under my strong hold.
