"Privacy is only temporary between you and me." *** At four years old, Sophia was spared the fate that befell the rest of her family. The daughter of the beta to a pack that had fallen, she should have been killed. Being within five years of age to the Heir Alpha for the conquering pack, she was allowed to live with the understanding that when the time came, she would provide the next generation of Alpha to him. The rules are clear on how to treat breeders, but Alpha Dominic never wanted just a breeder. The more freedom he gives Sophia, the greater the risk to her well-being. Without freedom, would she ever be able to choose him? And without a choice, could she ever love him? Neither are comfortable with the traditional expectations of their roles, but are they better off deviating from the norm? When given the chance, would she surrender her duty to Alpha Dominic to become a full-fledged mate to someone else? Word count: 80,000
