This is book 5 in my Highland series, all of my other works in this series can be found on my profile.

“Where is revenge going to get you, Adam? What’s it going to prove?” Katie asked. “He killed my brother, Kate. I won’t rest until I bring him to justice” “By murder?” The determination in Adam’s eyes gave Katie little hope of changing his mind. He said nothing but stared at her as if the thought of murder was completely foreign to him. “That’s exactly what you’ll be doing, Adam” Katie warned. Adam’s jaw clenched and he nodded in determination. “Then so be it.”

I panicked as Alpha Jake walked in and approached me. I've really done it this time. I'm so going to lose something for this! I thought as I started listing what he could take from me. My breathing started to rapidly speed up as I ran to the other end of the Kitchen. When Alpha Jake saw the mess, I had made with the food; burning the cake, starters messily prepared and no main course ready for them, he clenched his hands. He looked at me with fury in his eyes and I whimpered. "It's serving time. Why is there no quality food?" Alpha Jake asked me in a dangerously low voice. I didn't say anything. My mind went blank and everything turned into a blur. My heart was racing, and my palms were sweaty as I considered the most dangerous move I'll ever make while in this pack. In a split second, I ran out of the Kitchen's second exit. I made my way through the house with people shouting at me. I had a few people try to grab my arm, but I somehow dogged them, slipping through bodies and ducking under grasping hands. I kept running, my feet hitting the fake, wooden floor, until I was outside. Alexa was enslaved with the rest of her villiage to the Midnight Moon Pack. Her master, Alpha Jake was a cruel and scary Alpha, knowing only what his parents had taught him from day one; human's are made to be slaves. But Alexa managed to escape, being found by the Alpha of the Rival pack, Alpha Liam Summers. Want another plot twist? They're mates, but let's not forget she's a human. Who knew a smiple mistake, mixed with a split-second decision to run would change her life for the better.
