As a runt, Jade didn't think she'd ever find a pack willing to accept her, even though she has gained an impressive set of skills while surviving in No Man's land.
A chance encounter provides the opportunity to prove her worth, but when she arrives, against all odds, she picks up an irresistible scent. Her soulmate.
Standing at a crossroads, she must decide if she's willing to grasp at her chance of unconditional love-and risk the heart-rending pain of rejection.
As a runt, the odds are not in her favor.

On a side note:
None of the main characters are mated to an Alpha.

Excerpt:
My steps faltered as I noticed that two of the pursuing wolves had sped ahead and were waiting to intercept me. I launched toward a tree and ricocheted off at a ninety-degree angle without slowing down. One of the wolves behind quickly followed and began closing in. 
I started to panic, looking around frantically for a way to escape. I saw a rabbit burrow under a small bramble bush and desperately raced towards it. I darted under the edge of the plant and heard the tan wolf go around as he expected me to come out the other side. It gave me the precious seconds I needed to squeeze down the tunnel. 
My relief was short-lived - the rabbit that dug this burrow had not survived long enough to finish it. The tunnel was only about twice as long as the average human arm, and I could clearly see the entrance. I sent a silent prayer that the bramble bush would deter them and that they would not realize just how shallow this burrow was. I waited anxiously.

40 parts Complete Mature
I panicked as Alpha Jake walked in and approached me. I've really done it this time. I'm so going to lose something for this! I thought as I started listing what he could take from me. My breathing started to rapidly speed up as I ran to the other end of the Kitchen. When Alpha Jake saw the mess, I had made with the food; burning the cake, starters messily prepared and no main course ready for them, he clenched his hands. He looked at me with fury in his eyes and I whimpered. "It's serving time. Why is there no quality food?" Alpha Jake asked me in a dangerously low voice. I didn't say anything. My mind went blank and everything turned into a blur. My heart was racing, and my palms were sweaty as I considered the most dangerous move I'll ever make while in this pack. In a split second, I ran out of the Kitchen's second exit. I made my way through the house with people shouting at me. I had a few people try to grab my arm, but I somehow dogged them, slipping through bodies and ducking under grasping hands. I kept running, my feet hitting the fake, wooden floor, until I was outside. Alexa was enslaved with the rest of her villiage to the Midnight Moon Pack. Her master, Alpha Jake was a cruel and scary Alpha, knowing only what his parents had taught him from day one; human's are made to be slaves. But Alexa managed to escape, being found by the Alpha of the Rival pack, Alpha Liam Summers. Want another plot twist? They're mates, but let's not forget she's a human. Who knew a smiple mistake, mixed with a split-second decision to run would change her life for the better.

Hunter Anther was like an open book, he'd never been afraid to be his true self. Especially his sexuality. However not everything is for everyone. Being born to the one of the largest pack to ever exist, he wasn't accepted. Everyone hated him and often bullied him, even his family. He'd hoped that after meeting his mate, regardless of gender he would finally find peace and happiness. But the moon goddess truly wasn't fond of him because in addition to being an outcast, he wasn't blessed with a wolf. What happens when his future Alpha, aka biggest bully and former friend turns out to be his mate. Will he accept and care for him or make him lose the last bit of hope he had? Like a saying goes 'The grass isn't always green on the other side.' *** "I didn't mean it.. I.. I was young and ignorant..." he tried to explain while clenching my hand, I looked at him in disgust and pulled my hand away. "What about me? How old wad I to deserve all the things you did to me?! Tell me, how was I different from you? Four years ago you rejected me after everything you've done to me. It wasn't enough punishment for you, you didn't even spare me a glance after ruining me. You left me, you are not gay." My voice trembled bit at the end but my face remained as emotionless as ever. I will never give him the satisfaction of seeing me vulnerable, not again. But why does my heart feel like it's bleeding? Shouldn't I be hating him and happy that he's on his knees begging me. So why am I tearing along with him? **** 25/02/24 - 9/08/24 **** A/N How many of us believe in second chances? Does love really conquer it all?

"I don't, but my wolf does" He doesn't want me but his wolf does that's even more hurtful. "He wants you, he wants you now. Your coming with me back to my territory." "You're an Alpha?"
