Evie Brown is a Beta. She's also a fierce fighter, a protective sister, and a loyal pack member.
But then she meets Alpha Alex Romano. He's a sexist, old-fashioned, ferocious Alpha with a fearsome reputation. And he's her mate.
Now Evie is stuck between being a Beta for the pack who needs her most, where she feels she belongs, or being a Luna for her mate's pack, where she will have to give up her independence and her status. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Alex is taking no for an answer.

I had been trying so goddamn hard to be nice, to be respectful, to not speak out of turn- but he wasn't giving me anything. No respect. No consent. He didn't want to hear anything I said. He didn't love me for who I was- he wanted me to fit into his mold. And that just isn't who I am and the sooner he learned that, the better.
"Evie, I do respect you and your consent, but-"
"No. you don't. I want more than you can give me." I needed freedom. I needed to be his equal. I needed to at least be listened to every now and again.
His eyes flashed at me. I was pissing him off again. But what more could he do to me? He already marked me against my will. The only thing worse he could do is mate with me against my will.
He wouldn't do that, would he?
"Evie stop. You're overreacting. Let's get you something for lunch."
"I, Evie Brown, rej-"
"STOP!" He jumped on me so fast that I fell to the floor harshly, dropping the bloodied towel next to me. "Don't you dare finish that sentence." His hand was clamped over my mouth. My heart was beating erratically. His teeth were bared threateningly.
Would he kill me?
"You're angry, frustrated. You want some form of release. I can help you with what you want." I drop my hand to trace the edge of his wrist sensually. "If that's what you want. I'm consenting."
His eyes turn from brown to black within a matter of seconds, his nostrils flare as he attempts to keep everything together but I could tell he's struggling. He opens his mouth to speak but ends up pressing his hand to my throat, slamming me into the corridor wall.
Kassian's lips graze my jaw, feeling the heat of his body radiate against mine. "What I want is to fuck you hard until you're screaming, your legs are shaking and your pussy is dripping."
My mouth quivers at his words, keeping the eye contact between us. "Then take me," I pant out desperately. "Right here. Right now."
