"I don't need a mate. I don't even want one. Why would I want a man to step in and take over everything I've fought for? Everything I continue to fight for? I have to work twice as hard as any other alpha, I don't have time for love" She had been told she was a freak, an anomaly. A female alpha? It was almost unheard of. She had been raised in a world where women were leaders along side a man. The pack expected she would lead only until she found her mate. Someone strong, someone of alpha blood or maybe a warrior. Someone to step up, lead the pack and protect them. The brain and brawn. Then she could be the Luna, a leader still, but softer - the heart of the pack. Not if she had anything to say about it.
