Ariadne has always been self-reliant. Four years ago, she became the leader of a small group of rogues, and her group has slowly grown in number. Now, to be better protected, the pack needs to get its official status, meaning it needs approval from the council. That's difficult enough as it is. However, considering her pack's background, her own past, and the fact that she's a female in a world ruled by men, her task is even more complicated. Then, there's the added bonus of her new mate, Mateus, alpha of the region's warriors. Ariadne isn't one to let some bothersome alpha mess with her life, right? Will she let Mateus in and finally learn she can rely on others, or will she turn him away? How many secrets can she keep before it all comes tumbling down? ~ Completed ~

I'm not rejected, just unwanted." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All Raine Andrews wanted was a mate. She wanted a mate to love her and make her feel wanted. And when she turns 17 she gets her mate. Soon to be beta Elijah Woods. He's a great guy. He's loyal to his pack, straight A student, and a very hard worker. He sounds like the perfect mate right? Raine thought so too, but there's just one problem... He doesn't want her.

Every year, two times a year, the Heat occurs. Unmated females with their first heats are let out in an expanse of territory where they are forcefully mated and claimed by the unmated males. This year is Cassandra's first heat. And she is determined to come back unmated. Note: Everything but cliche. This means - No male Alpha mate - No winning all the time - Fears from the main characters - A nice guy - No "mine" - No weak Omega mate - Grave injuries for the main characters - Necessary deaths (I'm not the author who writes the names of all the characters on a piece of paper and then picks one haphazardly to kill them)
