| Book 2 of the 'ALPHA' Series |
"Listen, don't take this the wrong way, but," he trails off, rubbing the back of his neck. He then looks down at me as I raise my eyebrow at him. "I reject you, Madison Cloud, as my mate." Madison, Cole, and Jade have been best friends since they could remember. With Cole's father being the Alpha, Madison's father, the Beta, and Jade's father Third in Command, how could they not?
Growing up in the werewolf society and being an adolescent teen, many things start to change from what one would describe their regular life. Madison, the youngest of the three, wishes for nothing but the average experience, to have a perfect relationship with her mate and hang out with her friends.
She wanted a mate that would love her for who she is and wouldn't care what she looked like. So what happens when she does end up finding her mate, and he rejects her?
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.
