Aubrey Denis is a human raised in a town of werewolves and as such, has developed a...distaste for their lifestyle. Running naked through the forest and eating Bambi aren't really her thing. So when her mate, Alpha Greywater, rejects her, she's more than willing to escape to the world of humans. But things are never that simple for Aubrey.
Despite her attempts at normalcy, Aubrey finds herself continually dragged back into the world of the supernatural. The mysterious stranger who keeps baiting her with the truth about her family certainly doesn't help.
Will she risk everything to uncover the truth about her family or will she run back to her Alpha with her tail between her legs?

"What do you want from me, Alpha Greywater?" I demand, shoving him away. He takes a step back, although I know it's by choice. Somehow that makes me angrier. "You said it yourself, a pathetic human like me could never be your mate," I hiss, glaring up at his stupid, perfect face.
"Aubrey." He steps forward again and I instinctively press myself back against the car. It's a stupid move that effectively traps me but it's hard to think when he's staring at me like that. One of his hands moves to cup my face, fingers brushing against my lips. It takes all my self control not to beg him to take me right there on Carter's truck. "You can't be my mate. My mate needs to understand the pack and help me run it. A human can never do that. But that doesn't mean you don't belong to me."
The words come crashing down on me like a bucket of ice water. My leg slams up between his legs and he doubles over in pain and surprise.
"Like hell I do," I growl into his ear.
