There are many stories about how the Alpha are ruthless killers that have absolutely no emotions.
It is true, that could be the definition of Chris, Alpha of the Skull Pack.
Every year there is an Alpha reunion, where new laws are put in place, the number of rogues is renewed, alliances are formed, sometimes enemies are also made, and the werewolf map is updated, depending on if a pack's territory has widened or sometimes how much space they lost.
Chris is an Alpha that so far has stayed isolated with the pack, and chosen to never attend an Alpha reunion. Yet, at the age of 20 and after 4 years of being one of the most feared Alphas in the country, Chris is obligated to attend the reunion, for reasons that aren't pleasing.
Thing is, no one besides the Skull Pack, knows that Chris isn't your average Alpha.
Chris is an Alpha Female, the only one in existence.
Kylie survived the brutal destruction of her pack only to discover her cold alpha mate was the one responsible for the brutal slaughter of her family and pack mates. She can't forgive and she won't forget.
Kylie cooperates with his demands while she searches for a way to free the remaining survivors and herself. Success teaches her just how complicated mate bonds can be and gives her the chance to choose her own fate.
"Screw the mate bond. If I went for his throat while he was driving in human form, I might be able to kill him right now, and if I didn't succeed, the resulting accident might. I leapt for the front seat, powerful jaw ready to rip out his throat as he had ripped out my family's to take my revenge.
Without even taking his left hand off the wheel, he blocked me by getting his right forearm between my jaws. I bit down as hard as I could, wishing to break his bones and sever the limb. Worse, I felt the tingles of our first contact where violence had connected us. The iron of his blood mingled with the other scents around me."
(This is a dark story, but not the stereotypical one where she falls in love with her captor. This is the story of escape from a toxic relationship and finding healthy love.)
MATURE content including violence, dubious consent, intimacy, and mature and other possibility upsetting themes like threats of suicide and miscarriage. Not intended for the 18- crowd, sorry.
