At eighteen every wolf finds their mate, or at least they hope to. For Kelsey Hendricks, this is no different. She prays to find her mate, in hopes that he will save her from the life an Omega offers. Every, single, day she's abused, tormented and ridiculed. Mentally, physically and emotionally she's drained and ready to give up. When their new Alpha, Eli Collins appears on the stage she's beyond surprised to know he's her mate and the doubt sets in. Worse, when the Alpha tracks her down he rejects her after stating his disappointment. Life, love, happiness.......freedom - all the things Kelsey had hoped and prayed for were suddenly out of reach. What else did she have left? #13 11/10/19 #20 - 03/27/2019

I never pitied anyone, because the grass wasn't greener on this side either. But the one woman I felt bad for all my life was the unknown mate of the man who is getting engaged to his pregnant girlfriend today. I could hear the music coming from the engagement party happening a few yards from where I was. As I lay on the cold hospital bed, I didn't know if I should laugh or cry at the irony of the moon goddess's 'gift' for me. Turns out the woman I pitied all my life was ME. ________

(Complete) Rae East has always cast herself off as a girl not worthy of a Mate. With a past of self-doubt and expectations of a hopeless future, her theory crumbles when she discovers she is mated to an Alpha. Not expecting anything from it, Rae finds herself in a confusing situation. Giving no clarity, her Alpha Mate brings her back to his pack with no purpose. She sinks into herself, lost, alone, and in pain. With a Mate who has no interest in her whatsoever, Rae struggles to find her purpose in the pack and in her own world. Not knowing if she has a future with the Alpha she can't help but want, Rae must search elsewhere for happiness like she had once planned. But with a taste of the bond she can't help but share, it becomes difficult to move on from the Alpha who holds her heart captive. PG 16+ (but you know yourself better than I do)
