Jessica West is a rarity in her world, an alpha female blessed with sight. She has never been able to detect her own mate bond and believes she is mateless. Until she meets Ryder, an alpha heir from the neighboring pack, and her fated mate. The only problem is Ryder has a secret. Can the bond forged in the magic of fate and moon overcome the choices our past self made?
excerpt:
Anchoring into my skin, I slowly back away from my so-called mate. Distance is necessary. More necessary than breath. In fact I should stop inhaling his f***ing essence that clouds my head and entrances my wolf.
"Answer me!" I whisper-scream at Ryder.
"Yes." a pregnant pause hangs between us before he speaks again.
"I am sorry Jessica. I didn't know. I didn't think it could be like this." His hands move between us, grasping for the invisible bond that ties us through the magic of our existence.
His voice is pained. As if it hurts him to speak these words to me.
How can he be in pain? How can a wolf choose another, it is beyond comprehension. It goes against our very nature. My mind is reeling. The inside of me is a mass of hurt, anger, frustration and arousal that won't go away.
"What did you think? You would just come here, find your mate. Mark and mate her. Me! Mark and mate me, and then what, walk away?" I speak bitterly, spitting my words at him.
The look on his face is a sharp slap on mine. A slow realization sinks in, cutting my soul irreparably. Ryder needed to mark and mate his fated mate to transition to full adult male. Without marking and mating ME he would forever stay juvenile in body. He couldn't inherit his alpha title.
"Yes." it's a whisper, and yet his voice is so loud in my head, I choke on his spoken word.
Her words still linger in my head
My mind wanders off to thinking about her
Her natural thick chocolate curls.
Her Carmel skin. Her beautiful melanin.
Her mocha eyes that shines with happiness and love.
Love;I love her.
"No your not! The real Cole wouldn't abandon me randomly one day! --The real Cole wouldn't bully me every single minute of my life until my breaking point! --The real Cole wouldn't go out drinking every night and sleep with a new girl every week!--The real Cole would do anything to protect me; Not go ditch me like I was gum under your $175 Guicci Flip Flops! --The real Cole would love me until my dying moment. And I actually thought I loved you?!" I remember her screaming at me
She loved me. Well not anymore.
Tears streamed down her angelic face like a wild river. Her brown eyes were blood shot for all the crying. Even when she was crying, she still looked beautiful to me.
I wanted to take away all the pain and sadnesses she had. I want to grab her and hug her close to me; having her all to myself forever.
I always imagined falling in more love with her, getting married, taking care of the Pack, having pups, growing old, and dying together.
A loud honk from the car behind me woke me up from my day dream; I didn't realize that the red light turned green. I run my hands through my hair and turned the music up higher. Bryson tiller's song "Don't" filled the car.
She's right
My hands tighten on the leather steering wheel turning my knuckles white.
My foot pressed on the gas, making the car go faster
90
Tears started to fill my eyes blurring my vision
I don't need her
95
I don't need her
97
Tears fall fast down my face
99
I don't need her
Trees and signs quickly past by me as I speed down the empty road
100
Then my car slams right into a large oak tree
"I need her" I whisper as my body goes numb.
Even though I'm seconds from dying. I still think about her.
