“Do I look odd to you?”
My throat tightens up…
My eyes trace the black ink swirls of his sleeve tattoo, and the breeze carries his scent to me. I feel overwhelmed with the urge to touch the markings on his skin, to run my fingers through his dark hair.
Desire, sharp as a blade, slices through me and I’m shocked at myself, unsure of where it came from.
Vanessa thought she was lucky to find her fated mate. But on the day of their ceremony, he chooses her best friend to be his Luna instead. 
He scorns their bond and humiliates her, quickly turning her into the pariah of the pack and ruining her future. Then lures her with an explanation, before nearly killing her. 
She’s saved by Shawn–Alpha of a rival pack–but she’s mistrustful and has to learn to open her heart again. 
Can she be happy with someone who isn’t her mate? And what happens when her old pack decides they want her back?

The Broken Fate of a Fated Mate

I don’t register anything as I rush through the compound and toward my apartment.


I just screamed at Ashborne’s Alpha without any sense of self-preservation or logic. I was so overwrought with the emotions the confession had wrung out of me that I didn’t stop to think about the consequences of my actions. 


Shawn would certainly kick me out now. 


There was no doubt about it. I knew enough about pack politics and the dynamics of the hierarchies within to understand that I just broke one of the most cardinal rules: never disregard your Alpha. It didn’t matter that we were alone and there wasn’t anyone around to hear me do it. I essentially spat on his title. 


Any other Alpha might have punished me on the spot. I don’t even want to think about how Trent would’ve reacted. Whatever kindness I thought Shawn was displaying toward me would never be able to save me from what I know I deserve.
