"Now reject your mate," Malik's repulsive voice demanded. "I'm sorry, Mad, I have too, for our pack's safety." She said before the words I never expected to hear came from her mouth. "I, Saffron Hernandez from The Nightfall Pack, reject you, Maddox Bishop, Alpha of The Nightfall Pack to be my Alpha and Fated Mate." Her words instantly crushed my soul. A pain ripping through my body, beyond anything I could have ever described. "COME ON DOLLFACE, BEFORE HE FINISHES THE JOB ON THE INNOCENT YOU BEGGED TO PROTECT!" Malik's voice hollered out, making Saffron close her eyes. *** On Saffron's 18th birthday, she finds out that she is fated to none other than the Alpha of her pack. 24 year old Maddox Bishop, who had only been the Alpha for a short time when an enemy pack launched an all out war. Malik, the 34 year old Alpha of The Reapers pack. A man who had no care for human life, pure evil in the flesh. One of the cruelest Alphas known to all. He loved killing, torture, and most of all power. He swore to call off his malicious attack on The Nightfall Pack in trade for one thing. Maddox's fated mate. What will Saffron do when Maddox fights harder to win her back? Will she give in to the mate bond and accept her fated mate? Or will she stay by Malik's side to save her home pack from an all out war of mass destruction?

“Daddy, please! Please don’t do this!” I begged with my hands. “It’s done, Tegan, the contract is signed. You will leave tonight to be the Alpha King’s contracted mate. You will bare him an heir within three months, or you will regret it!” He roared out, his face showing me just how angry he truly was. I silently wept at the cards fate played me. I will be nothing more than a baby-making machine for the cruelest Alpha known Ezra Hendricks. Tegan Declan was a shy she-wolf who was born deaf. Starting a new life as a disabled wolf in a new pack. She is the new contracted mate to the Alpha king, Ezra Hendricks. “Being deaf was a quality I would hate my son to have. As a wolf, you need all your senses to be able to lead, protect, and stay alive. Lacking hearing would not benefit anyone, it could lead to mass destruction and the loss of many lives. It would not be a good quality for a king. This brought me back to my question. What makes her think she is fit to be my Queen? I want to know what she thinks her strengths are. Would they outweigh her weaknesses?”

—¡Papi, por favor! Por favor, ¡no hagas esto!— Supliqué con las manos. —Está hecho, Tegan, el contrato está firmado. Partirás esta noche para ser la pareja contratada del Rey Alfa. Le darás un heredero dentro de tres meses, ¡o te arrepentirás!— Rugió, su cara me mostró lo enfadado que estaba de verdad. Lloré en silencio por las cartas que me había jugado el destino. No seré más que una máquina de hacer bebés para el Alfa más cruel conocido, Ezra Hendricks. Tegan Declan era una loba tímida que nació sorda. Empezando una nueva vida como loba discapacitada en una nueva manada. Ella es la nueva compañera contratada por el rey Alfa, Ezra Hendricks. —Ser sorda era una cualidad que odiaría que mi hijo tuviera. Como lobo, necesitas todos tus sentidos para poder liderar, proteger y mantenerte vivo. Carecer de audición no beneficiaría a nadie, podría llevar a la destrucción masiva y a la pérdida de muchas vidas. No sería una buena cualidad para un rey. Esto me devolvió a mi pregunta. ¿Qué le hace pensar que es apta para ser mi reina? Quiero saber cuáles cree que son sus puntos fuertes. ¿Son mayores que sus debilidades?

"Do you love her?" Zola's voice came out shaky and her lips were pouty. I couldn't resist any longer. I needed her like I needed the air to breathe. I dipped my head in to capture her lips with mine, claiming our very first kiss. "You deliberately chose to be with someone else after telling me you wanted me. I was a fool. I had to find out, through a grapevine I might add, that you have a girlfriend. But that isn't even the cherry on top. No, the cherry is, that after weeks of this sh*t, I finally get the nerve to confront you and your response is to try and kiss me?" The words spoken out loud made me sound like a prick. How did I let it come to this? "I thought you loved me..." She whispered when I didn't respond. I do... But I can't. She was the forbidden fruit. The one thing I couldn't have, but desired above all. "Shanti is a wolf from a powerful family." *** Elias Hendricks is the most powerful Alpha King known. He had almost everything a man could ever need or want, the only thing he lacked was a mate to share it with. The one he desired above all, he could never have. How could everything feel so right, but be so wrong? Zola Harkness is a kind, loving, and genuine human hybrid who happened to be raised in a pack of royal wolves. She was a conspicuous person who happened to also be ingenue. The kind of woman that all men craved. However, she only desired one. What will Elias do when he is presented with an ultimatum? Forced to choose between the one he loves and his Kingdom. Will he find a way to overthrow the werewolf law, taking Zola as his human mate? Or will he walk away from the one he loves forever taking on a chosen mate to rule by his side?
