Summer Pen

I've been hunted by nightmares, fear and regrets my whole life, and I'm not willing to put others in danger of what might come for me.
But what do you know, destiny has a way of playing games.

There's a saying among shifters— Never reject an Alpah—. Well that's what I've done, and I'm learning the hard way.

Jerome Knight is the Alpha of the woodlands pack, and my mate. One who I'm not at all ready to accept.
He doesn't take no for an answer. After all, I never thought he ever got denied anything he wanted and I certainly won't be the first person he accepts a NO from.

I either choose yes or yes. Or he'll force me by hook or crook. Even if it means bullying me into accepting him as my mate.

Bullied To Submission

We walked into the bakery, with me smiling sheepishly, I had a friend, I had a friend, I had a friend. I kept chanting in my head.


I looked around for the baker but saw no one, Hailey led me to the back, and there we met a redhead who had bags under her eyes, her eyes widened when she saw me and then narrowed when she saw Hailey.


"No freebies today sweetheart, the owner of the bakery's out." She growled the words out.


Hailey sighed and I guessed immediately that Hailey had bullied the redhead.


"Really," the red head mocked gasped. "And who the fuck, blondie, might you be?"


I smiled, "I'm the alpha's mate, Danica."


She gasped for real this time and quickly stood up from the stool she sat on.


"Oh God I'm sorry, I just thought...well, you came with Hailey to torment me."


"We came to buy cupcakes and the rest, no one was at the counter so Hailey dragged us back here. And she really is sorry you know, she regrets all she's done."
