“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

Various aches and pains are spread throughout my body, but it’s the throbbing headache that takes all of my attention. 


I’m lying on my back, spread out on an uncomfortable mattress, and even before I open my eyes, I know that I’m inside some kind of building. It smells … familiar. I immediately flashback to when I woke up from my mini coma all those months ago, finding myself in Ashborne’s infirmary with Amara’s comforting brown eyes staring down at me. 


At the time, I’d been terrified. But now, thinking of being back there fills me with such a sense of nostalgia and longing that it hurts, seemingly compounding the pain in my head. I move to raise my hand, wanting to check for any injuries when I feel the bite of metal against my skin. 


Startled, I finally open my eyes and look down to see a handcuff strapped to my wrist, attached to a chain that runs behind me and terminates in a wall attachment.
