The Art of Survival (Werewolf Romance/Mates)
5 parts Ongoing MatureChoosing paints and piano over Pack Life and Training, spoiled Valerie didn't want an Alpha as her mate.
She had read that many stories of a poor little she-wolf, scared by the big bad Alpha screaming MINE.
She had read how they were cruel, stripping their mates of their freedom and forbidding them to do anything that made them happy.
Valerie wasn't about that life.
Then and there, she decided she would never take a mate.
But when her Coming of Age Ceremony goes horribly wrong, she must flee her fallen Pack.
Terrified, injured and alone, Valerie finds herself (for the first time ever) wishing that she had company... but not necessarily one that came in the form of her mate.
