He betrayed me deeply for rejecting our mate bond.

He kept living his bad boy life with nameless conquests, not believing in mates.

But he’s up for being the new Alpha, and an ancient ritual reveals his true mate: Me.

I refuse, but I have no choice but to agree to at least pretend. Until he gets me pregnant.

I didn’t want to marry him, but something inside me tells me to do this to heal myself.

Perhaps living with him will make me see that he isn’t the one.

Perhaps being close to him will finally heal that vulnerable spot deep inside of me.

I should have known he wouldn’t let me hide myself from him, though…

He breaks me wide open again, getting me hurt, this time beyond repair.

The wolf inside of me craves him so badly that it’s willing to submit to its primal desire.

My heart is out there for him to crush, with nothing to protect itself.

And when my belly is getting big with his baby, I have to ask myself…

Can I give myself to the Alpha for good this time?
