The Defiant Ones

Before he came my way I had my own apartment, my own income, my own bed where I spent most nights sleeping alone. I lived day to day having no ambition but to live in my own safe piece of the world. Now, I have no money to my name, no home to call solely mine. But what is this smile that spreads across my face every time I wake up to the soft melody of air moving in and out, the content that makes me confident that my troubles of past, present, and future never existed as I watch his body rise and fall?

Eleanor is a rogue in a pack's territory. Dangerous, but it is safer than escaping to barren wastelands of Alaska. She is alone and hell-bent on keeping it that way until an Alpha comes and shakes her resolve. Eleanor pushes him away, knowing that the baggage she carries and her past that prowled inside is beyond his capacity.

The Alpha has a story of his own. His oldest brother is dead and his father calls upon him and his siblings to decide who will inherit the largest land and pack. The Alpha does not want to be involved but one of his siblings hopes to use the dispute as an opportunity to take over his lands.

Eleanor is thrown into the Alpha's world whether she can resist or not. Time wears down both of them and what they find in each other cannot be summed up in a few words.
