Synopsis : "For the last 6 years I have kept it at bay. The need, the want, the hunger. No more. I will be free to do as I please. Brandon, you have no control over me!"
Mates. They were supposed to stay together. To treasure each other. To love one another. But what happens when Choice trumps Fate, when need becomes obsession and hope flickers? This is a story of Nessa, a bright young werewolf, who grew up with stories about romance and mates. None of which could prepare her for the reality - her mate chooses her best friend over her for the chance of power and glory. Deserted by the one meant to cherish her, Ness picks herself up and resolutely tries to make her own way in life. If she can't have the mate that Fate destined for her, she would surely find one of Choice for herself.
Alpha Marcus Josef "Ned" Edwards has a dark past. He too lost his mate 6 years ago and has dedicated his life to avenge her death. Meticulously eliminating every single wolf that was even remotely connected with the death of his mate, he is rightfully labeled brutal, bloodthirsty and dangerous. His pack mates learn to diffrentiate the glimpses of their old loving Alpha Marcus from this ruthless Alpha Ned and his ever consuming rage.
When Nessa meets Marcus sparks ignite and they are irresistibly drawn towards each other. But would that be enough to bring these two wolves together and wipe out the hurt and heartbreak of the past? Would the bonds of choice be stronger than fate's?
