Warning: Contains some mature scenes. (Highest Rating: #34) Excerpt: "Look, I know we had a bad start, and you hated me, but can you give me a chance to show you that I'm not what you think?" he pleaded earnestly. His hands were tucked into his pockets, his gaze never leaves me. "Let me think about it!" I replied, and turned on my heel, but he grabs my hand and pulled me into his chest. I wanted to kick his groin, but the feelings being in his arms had my brain froze, my rational being long forgotten. It feels home in his arms. I felt secure and for some reason, I felt relax. He nuzzled his nose against the top of my head like it was the natural thing to do, and I'm liking it. Unconsciously, my hands snake around his waist. I smelled his musky intoxicating scent. He smells delicious just as I thought. "You're officially mine, Babe!!" he whispered which made me realized I just surrendered to him. I quickly pulled my hands off his waist and crossed it on my chest, but he's still holding my waist. "No, I'm not!" I objected as I shook my head in disapproval, frowning at him. What happened when two strong-willed collides, with their heart gets tangled. Will they let go, or fight for it? What happened when all secrets of their past, revealed?

***** "I'm sure work can wait Ms Montiero. Our conversation is not over yet." I can't take it anymore as his strong hands hold mine against the wall behind me as he utters his words slowly in my ear. I'm eager to have him, right now, but my mind is in complete denial. No. No. You can't. You know what will happen if you do. You cannot risk it. "Well it is now." I manage to say, stepping out of his stiff embrace desperate for him to leave as my level of patience decreases and my heart rate increases. However, I am once again pulled back, this time hitting my back against the wall roughly as he glares at me, clearly frustrated. "This conversation is not over until I say it is." his voice is more stern and demanding. The fear in my eyes in unhidable. Sure I was a hunter, but never did I ever meet a more intimidating warewolf like him. I see the signs of his wolf wanting to take over, but I don't let it happen. "What do you want from me Alex?" I resopond, deciding to give him a chance at telling me exactly what he wants, even though I knew what his answer was going to be. He leans in closer but knowing the consequences one little mistake can create I put my head down, facing my purple carpeted floor, only to have him bring my chin up with his fingers whilst he looks straight into my coffee- brown eyes. "You know what I want Christie" he starts "I want you." His words hit me as hard as a rock knowing I couldn't give him what he desired, what I desired. Our breaths were mixing as I struggled for an answer. But I didn't have to wait long before he responded to his own question with an action. A very wrong action ... ***** What happens when rich, billionaire Alex Paddington, son of the Alpha, meets dancer and university student Christie Montiero, daughter of the best hunters in Chicago?

A story in which a young girl has to discover who she truely is in the confines of an arranged marriage, and has to find a way to get out of the arrangement so she can be with with the love of her life. She must decide if she should give up her parents wishes and marry the one they chose, or go her own way, and pave her own path with a choice she never dreamed of. ❌❌❌❌ I began editing this book to change some major things, but I realized too much will have to be changed. Many things do not line up, mainly due to the fact that I wrote this right when I started out and was completely immature. I do not have the time right now to fix this, and so it will probably always stay the flawed, messed up child in the family. I love the story anyway so please no hate. I did work hard on this. If you don't mind all of this, continue! And happy reading :) Cover: @worldgirlalwaysxx
