Jack’s POV
I was supposed to be alpha. I was supposed to live the rest of my life happily. Having my mate by my side and leading my pack. But life has a way to spit in your face. An attack deformed my face and for a while, I wasn’t able to shift. Hell, I couldn’t even speak. Because of this, I was seen as unfit to lead and my baby brother became alpha. And I thought that this would be the worst thing that could ever happen to me. Turns out I was wrong. The worst part was when I found him balls deep inside my mate.
Well, fuck that…
I left and chose to live as a rogue.
At least if I’m alone, nobody can hurt me again…
Grace’s POV
I was supposed to live happily ever after with the love of my life. He was kind and gentle and everything a girl could wish for. But one night, he flipped the table on me. He attacked me, almost killing me. He said words that I didn’t understand.
“Reject you as my mate and queen.”
“Witch!”
I didn’t understand any of it. But when he told me to run, I did. I ran straight into my worst nightmare. Monsters! People who could become wolves. They took me prisoner and treated me as if I was nothing but a common whore. I cried, hoping for my love to save me. Praying for him to find me.
Nobody ever came.
Now, all I can hope for is a swift death…

Awakening Alpha Grace

Never in my life had I felt such intense protectiveness burn through my blood all at once. I felt it with Grace, sure, but it had come on gradually, slowly blooming to the level it was today, where I’d kill anyone who ever thought about hurting her.


It was instant and gave no reprieve to comprehend it. It was there, full force, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. At that moment, I knew I would kill to protect him. To fight to keep him safe, and to ensure that nothing bad ever happened to him.


Sure, I had to talk to Grace about it. I knew she wanted what was best for him, but there was a giant leap from “let’s see if he’d my son or not” to “so, you up to becoming a stepmom full time because I’m not giving him up?”.


I didn’t even know how to begin that conversation…
