Zara Maddox is a 17 year old werewolf who has been abused all her life. She's been on the run for almost three years, and knows nothing about being a werewolf. Luckily, right now she lives on neutral territory. She never wants a mate, after seeing how her mom became weak with one. What happens when everything changes one day? Aaron Blackwell is the alpha of his pack. He became alpha younger than normal due to an unfortunate event. He is known as the player at school. That is, when he bothers to go. He sleeps with different girls every day to relieve some of the stress being the alpha gives him. They don't mean anything to him, only his mate will, but to most of the girls, he becomes theirs. When he meets his mate, his reputation drives her further away than she already was. When troubles arise again, will they unite to give each other the strength only a mate can give, or will they both succumb to their problems?
