Solange Daye

I take a deep breath as I step out of the car, and Kyle's sandalwood scent hits me like a ton of bricks.
My wolf growls in my mind, "Mate." 
Kyle strides toward me with his arms outstretched, but before he can reach me, Atticus gets out of the car behind me. A low growl rumbles in Atticus's chest, serving as a reminder that I belong to him. 
I clear my throat awkwardly, "Alpha Kyle, this is Alpha Atticus of the Warrior Pack."  

***
Eryn's life was going according to plan. She had the man of her dreams and received a prestigious invitation to the Warrior Academy. What she didn't plan on was the immediate betrayal from Kyle as soon as she left the Twilight Pack. 
Heartbroken from the betrayal, she turns to Atticus, the gruff Alpha of the Warrior Pack and the head professor. As she finds comfort in Atticus's unwavering support, an unexpected bond forms between them. 
However, when the three- Eryn, Kyle, and Atticus- are brought together, emotions run high, and things become even more complicated. While Kyle fights to win back Eryn, Atticus fights to keep her. 
Who will Eryn finally choose? Her Brother's Best Friend or Her Alpha Professor?  

My Brother's Best Friend and My Alpha Professor

　　I sit awkwardly in Elder White's kitchen. His mate hands me a cup of tea and muffin. She then shuffles out of the kitchen to leave us to speak. I watch her leave and remember all the times I daydreamed about growing old with Eryn. Now it feels more like a nightmare. 


　　"You have made a mess of things," Elder White tells me. 


　　"Then why didn't you leave with the rest of them?" I ask. 


　　"I am old," he replies simply. "I could not survive as a rogue, and neither could my mate. It is better for us to be a part of a dying pack than no pack at all." 


　　I bristle at his words. He doesn't want to be here, so I know he won't be on my side. Regardless, I have to ask him for help. 


　　"You have connections with the Elder Council. Surely, you could help me plead my case. They could force pack members to return, and we can rebuild. They could also demand that Alpha Atticus return my mate," I am speaking quickly because I am nervous. "There has to be a way to fix this."
