Book 2

"Run all you want. I'll always catch you," Aleksander Petrov declared. "The chase only makes me want you more." My name is Samantha Callahan, and many people think I'm a guy when in fact I'm a young woman. I don't care what others call me or say about me. My only concern is that the monsters from my dark past don't find me because they would kill me. You see, my father is a mafia boss, he's known for his cruel deeds, and I could barely escape his clutches at a young age. But I did, and I ended up living in a small town most of my life disguised as a guy. I hoped I would live in the peaceful town for the rest of my life, but fate had other plans for me when I discovered that the most powerful Alpha in the world is my mate, The Alpha King. His name is Aleksandr Petrov, he's a very cruel man, he leads the werewolf society with an iron fist, and he will kill you if he doesn't find you valuable. Though the moment the Alpha king set his eyes on me, I was his to own and ruin. I didn't know what to do, but I knew one important thing, the Alpha king is the only man who's more power than my father, he's my only saving grace. I was at his mercy.
