"For the last 6 years I have kept it at bay. The need, the want, the hunger. No more. I will be free to do as I please. Brandon, you have no control over me!" Mates. They were supposed to stay together. To treasure each other. To love one another. But what happens when Choice trumps Fate, when need becomes obsession and hope flickers? This is a story of Ness, a bright young werewolf, who grew up with stories about romance and mates. None of which could prepare her for the reality - her mate chooses her best friend over her for the chance of power and glory. Fighting her feelings for Brandon, Ness accepts her own place in the world. If she couldn't have the mate that Fate destined for her, she would surely find one of Choice for herself. Alpha Marcus Josef "Ned" Edwards has a dark past. He lost his mate 6 years ago and has dedicated his life to revenge her death. Meticulously eliminating every single wolf that was even remotely connected with the dead of his mate, he is rightfully labeled cruel, furious and dangerous. His pack mates learn to recognize the glimpses of their old loving Alpha Marcus and the ever consuming rage of the ruthless Alpha Ned, who dutifully protects them. When Nessa meets Marcus sparks ignite. But would they be enough to bring these two wolves together? Read to find out. (book is being edited. New bonus content added - June 2019)

"Listen,and listen good. I don't want a mate. I never did! So I, Ashton Smith, reject you, Saphira Richards as my mate." Ashton sneered at me in disgust. I felt tears prick my eyes as my heart seemed to shatter into a million pieces. He...rejected me. My wolf howled in pain. "B-But you're my mate, you're suppose to love me no matter what." I stuttered. He narrowed his eyes at me as a look of clear disgust crossed his face. "Well I don't, and I never will, so get over it you Loser." Ashton said. I watched as he turned around and walked away, leaving me alone and empty in the school library. Ashton Smith is a rebellious alphas son who is always partying and getting high, not to mention having a new girl every other night. Saphira Richards is a shy girl with a witty sense of humor only her friends know about. She also happens to be a werewolf. But with a dark past and secrets of her own, can she really handle what fate has thrown her way this time? What happens when paths collide, and total opposites are destined for each other? Will it just be another werewolf thing or something more? *One of my earlier books, so please forgive any mistakes, I was younger and new to writing for an audience.*
