He's the man that tried to kill me. But now he's back and this time he wants my love.

Cory

I ran away from home when the son of the pack Alpha tried to have me killed. After one night in one another's arms I find myself chased halfway across the state and nearly murdered in the process. But I made it to Shifter Grove alive and I built a new life for myself. And I'm content to never think of it again.

But when I find a half-dead wolf on the side of the road I can't help but take him in. Although I didn't recognize him at first, I quickly realized he's the son of the Alpha. And he still thinks I'm his mate. The rejection was easy and I sent him away.

So why won't my heart listen to me? Why do I want this man so badly when I know I can never trust him?

Liam

I never tried to have Cory killed. I know he doesn't believe me, but that's the truth. When I told my father that I'd found my mate and he was male, all hell broke loose. After that moment, Cory was out of my life seemingly forever.

But I got away. It took me two years, but I did it. When I finally wandered into Shifter Grove at last, I was nearly starved to death. And who should find me but Cory. He doesn't recognize me at first but the truth always finds a way of working its way to the surface.

How do I convince the man of my dreams that I would never hurt him when he won't even talk to me?
