Her TRUE mate.

They found me with crimson splattered across my face, rubies dripping from the tips of my fingers, my body shaking like a leaf in the wind.
My twelve year old self stares at the limp, lifeless body. The THING shares a face with my mother, same blonde hair and green eyes but these eyes are lifeless, un-blinking. ITs hair stained with scarlet liquid from the puddle of warm blood that spills consistently without stopping. My father lays gasping a couple feet away, the knife mom gave me still embedded in his chest.
He killed her, the woman who raised me to love the world and all the earth's innocence. The mothering smile she always threw my way when I would compete with the boys.
The police found us just as the last breath left my pathetic excuse of a father. They froze as I looked up at them, the tears had stopped about ten minutes ago but I knew my cheeks were stained. I ignored them as I went back to holding my mother's hand, no not my mother but IT because my mother was alive in my memories, not this soulless flesh bag that stared unblinking into the infinity of nothingness.
Bound by a curse and controlled by a dangerous shifter, Kaia has no hope of escaping her cruel fate until her pack is raided by a powerful Alpha who she discovers is her fated mate-and he will stop at nothing to keep her safe.
Season 1 of Becoming Luna
***
Kaia has always been the outcast of the Red River pack, hoping for a life of freedom away from the control of her sinister leader, Alpha Maverick. But she has limited options, especially with the crushing weight of a containment curse bearing down on her shoulders.
When her pack is unexpectedly raided by revered Alpha Nero Hunt, Kaia is shocked to discover that the powerful Alpha is her mate. Nero has been yearning for his true mate forever, and now that he's found her, he's desperate to fight for her, no matter the cost. Kaia has her secrets, but so does Nero, and the struggle to keep Kaia free from Maverick's clutches and break her curse threatens to tear them apart.
Kaia thought she was done with domineering Alphas, but maybe with this one, she just might keep him.
