“I, Alpha Michael Goldline of the Night Fang pack, reject you, Ariana Davids, as my mate.” He said, and my lips parted. I couldn’t say a word. I simply stared into his eyes, watching him, looking into his cold green eyes. 

Everything faded into the background. All the sounds, faces… everything. All I could see was him, as his words replayed in my head.

I, Alpha Michael Goldline…

Michael rejected me. In front of everyone. 

… NightFang pack, reject you…

This was our chance. What was he doing? 

… Ariana Davids as my mate.

"Rejected by her pack and the boy she loved." 

Anna thought she'd never find her place in the world. But when a chance encounter with the ruthless Lycan King Luke sparks a passionate romance, she must confront the secrets of her past and the danger of their forbidden love. Amidst war and ancient curses, Anna is torn: will she embrace their destiny together or will their love be torn apart by the very forces that brought them together?

Bonded to Her Cursed Lycan

Just as his lips came within an inch of mine, I tilted my head down, and he stopped. Just as he had been about to kiss me, the image of Luke had flashed in my head, and I couldn't just do it.

Not that I cared about Luke. No, I didn't care about him. I was going to move on anyway. I would find a sweet vampire to get married to, and it could as well be Jay, but I wanted to take things slowly.

Being rushed wasn't my ideal view of the way my new relationship should go.

"I'm sorry," I said in a little voice, "It just feels a little sudden."

"No. It's all cool. I understand." He said, and lifted my chin to look into his mesmerizing eyes. "That shouldn't make our friendship awkward, okay? We're still friends until you decide not to be friends again. And even if you decide not to ever surpass being friends, that's fine with me." He said, and a little smile tugged on my lips.
