For Sage Parker life was all about being unnoticed. She lived her life in the shadow. Every since she could remember it was always her and her best friend Dakota. Yep they were your average army of two, always standing by each other side and they never seemed to mind. Sage was your typical shy and quite girl, who always believed that she was too big to be noticed by any boy especially the popular guys at her school, and Dakota was the typical book smart girl who never really talked to the people around her unless it was to Sage. Now well into their junior year of high school, Sage can't help but to wonder why things are suddenly starting to change. First with a sudden popular boy taking notice of her, and with the whole school whispering about her, it's all beginning to make her head swirl. With the sudden changes happening around her she suddenly feels Dakota slipping away from her, and doesn't know why. And to top things off, she is being followed by a huge black wolf that doesn't seem to want to leave her side. Now what's a girl to do with the strange things happening to her? Find out in 'Life as a Beta's Mate.

Book 1 of the Black Moon series. After a terrible accident causes the death of his father, Nixx is the new Alpha of the Shadowed Sunset pack. With responsibilities and decisions that pile up, he realizes he needs the mate that seems to not exist. But an injured human seeking refuge on his border may change his mind... Noella Reese is determined to ignore the people around her that say her missing father is dead. Instead, she sets out on a mission to prove them wrong. She'll travel into the forbidden forest just to show them that he still lives. Except, when danger and confusion unfold around her, it looks like her mission may need to pause.

This time around the story concentrates on Fin and Victoria and their ill-fated mate pairing. Unaware of Fin, Victoria suffering under a father who hates her very existence and starved of affection, Victoria has a dalliance with another male and Fin discovers this. The male in question was his twin brother Grey. This led to Fin abandoning his pack, rejecting Victoria and embarking on a path designed to punish her by sleeping carelessly with as many females as possible. Events in Grey's Tribute have brought them together, and Fin claims Victoria as his mate while still hating the very essence of her being. However, the Moon will have her way, and she wants these two together whether they will it or not. Victoria is forced to confront every demon she buried deep down in her fight for survival since birth. The main one being that her wolf is more feral than others, unwilling to bend to any and with a hunger to rule more territory. Her wolf's disrespect to his authority will force Fin to remind her of her place. Fin himself struggles with the past Victoria shares with his twin and the fact that it forced him to denounce his full potential as the most dominant alpha of the four packs around. Her wolf's challenge to his status will push Fin into accepting all that he is and could be, and in turn what they can be together. Unfortunately, his feelings for her are harder to change, and his struggle to forgive and forget will impact heavily upon their relationship. An emerging empire, omens of death and the two most dominant wolves compelled by fate to be together with or without their permission leads to an absolute rollercoaster of a story. I did not think I could feel more than I did reading this book. These characters are complicated and while they project an image of indestructibility to those in their world, reading this will show you that those who appear strong may have the hardest battle against their own weaknesses. Thank you @Chortle for the great summary.

When I walked into the school people look at me. I was walking to my locker and I smelled the sweetest smell ever. Mate!!! Go get mate's Reign was yelling and howling. Looking around, my eye a landed on the one person who I didn't want to see and he was staring right back at me. Cole Black. His eyes looked through mine and Reign was howling with joy. I stood there shocked not able to move. Except when he stood up and started walking towards me, I did the one thing that I would have never thought I'd do. I ran. Just as I got into the parking lot and to my car, warm arms wrapped around my arm and I knew exactly who it was. Cole turned me around to where I was facing him and growled" Mine" "No, no, no, not yours!!!" I said in disbelief. His grip tightened around my waist and he growled. "You are mine. No one else's. You will not touch another male and you will not talk to another male. You are mine. Mate." He said before putting his head in the crook of my neck and inhaling.

Most people say rejection is the worst thing that could happen to a person, especially when it involves your fated mate. You become a shell of person you once were. Alpha Xavier and I have known each other since we were kids, we were always there for each and slowly I fell in love with my best friend. I was there when he told me he loved my twin sister I stood by and let him be happy, until that one fateful night when we found out we were mates and he rejected me and choose my twin. From that day forward nothing was the same. I watched them be happy together while I was slowly breaking and then I finally choose myself and left without a word to anyone. Eight years later the unthinkable happened. I am found and I am required to return to my pack because my twin sister died, Alpha Xavier chosen mate.

What would happen if your mate was someone you knew you couldn't and shouldn't be with? Would you go through all obstacles to be together, would you ignore the bond to save other relationships, or would fate and destiny bring you together no matter how hard you denied it?
