Aspen Reynolds is 17 years old. She is the future Beta, being the first born in her siblings gives her that right. Her 18th birthday is tomorrow. Tomorrow is a very special day, but not just because it's her birthday. There are three reasons it is important. The first reason is it's the day she shifts. The second reason is that she gets to find her mate. And the last reason is she gets to become the Beta of her pack. The one thing she is most excited about is meeting her mate. Aaron Rivers is 18 years old. He is the new Alpha. He has been looking for his mate since his 18th birthday, but he has some expectations about what she should look like and of course when he finds his mate she doesn't meet his expectations. So what does he do? He rejects her of course, but only after he has his way with her.
