Avery Black has been abused by her Alpha ever since her parents died and her brother abandoned her. Her newfound freedom is short lived as she stumbles upon the most vicious packs territory. Alpha Derek is said to be so cruel that he's soulless and doesn't have a mate. But deep down he knows he has a mate out there somewhere, someone to love and to cherish. When the two finally meet, It's not what Derek expected. His poor little mate is damaged almost beyond repair. If he wants to be with her he has to work hard to break down her walls, show her he truly loves and ultimately earn her trust. [warning: the abuse in this story is quite heavy and not everyone's cup of tea. It will also touch on bdsm and have mature scenes later on in the story. Please do not read if you are underage]
