Synopsis

All Cara ever wanted was to be able to take her Beta boyfriend Dane as a chosen mate. But when he unexpectedly loses his rank and her true mate comes along, she finds herself torn between the title her mate can give her, and the unwavering loyalty Dane offers.

And ultimately, Cara must decide whether to play with him or against him. **Trigger Warning: ontains coarse language, erotic scenes and cheating**

Chapter 01

 **Trigger Warning: contains coarse language, erotic scenes and cheating. I know cheating on a fated mate is not everybody's cup of tea in a werewolf novel, so I'm giving fair warning - I will add that it is only in one chapter, and there are hefty consequences**

Cara sat on a park bench in a large, fenced off garden known as The Commons. It was a neutral zone between two werewolf packs; a place where both packs could mingle and co-exist without restrictions. She stretched her long, tanned legs out in front of her and tilted her head back, enjoying the feel of the sun’s warmth on her face.

A shadow fell across her and she slowly opened one eye, spotting the culprit and swatting him away playfully with her hand.

“Babe, you’re ruining my tan. Move over,” she whined, trying in vain to move the large, hulking figure of her boyfriend, Dane.

Dane was Beta of the Cape Point Pack and oversaw the training of the pack’s military-style warrior army. Cara had always hated his shaved head, but it was compulsory in the army and Dane liked to show the men he was one of them. 

She couldn’t fault the rest of his body though. He was tall, with broad shoulders and strong arms that picked her up with ease. His pale blue eyes looked like the sky on a summer's day, yet could turn a person to ice when he was angry. He was the finest male specimen she’d ever laid eyes on, and she knew she wasn’t worthy of him.

“Lucas will be here soon. You should probably head off anyway,” he replied.

Cara sat up and cuddled into his side, butterflies dancing in her stomach.

“You’ll be careful, right?” she asked, locking her piercing green eyes with his.

“Don’t stress. Have I ever let you down before?”

She shook her head and relaxed into him. She knew he was right. He’d never let anything or anyone stand in the way of their relationship before - and many people had reason to. She was an Omega from a working-class family, the lowest rank of all, while Dane was a Beta. Their classist society says they shouldn’t be together, but he was all she ever wanted.

She stood and kissed him once more, waving to him as she left. She trusted him to do what needed to be done, for them and the future of the pack.

Dane spotted Lucas entering The Commons from one end, just as Cara was leaving from the other. He had the build of a werewolf, but unlike Dane, whose body was sculpted from a decade of hard work, Lucas looked more like a werewolf with a full-time office job. Dane grinned at his own joke as Lucas approached.

“Beta Lucas,” he greeted, with a friendly and familiar tone in his voice.

“Beta Dane,” replied Lucas, as both men shook hands. “How’s things?”

Lucas was Beta of the Green Plains Pack. The two held regular meetings together to talk inter-pack business. They had a good relationship, and knew it was important that they did, because above them at Alpha level, things were tense between the young and rash Alpha Patrick and his Green Plains counterpart, Alpha Marcus.

“I guess we should discuss Sarah Morgan,” started Lucas.

Dane stopped in his tracks.

“It’s not looking good,” he said, frustrated. “Patrick wants her returned to Cape Point territory. He wants her executed.”

“Absolutely not!” Lucas growled, his eyes darkening as his wolf protested.

Sarah Morgan was a young member of Dane’s pack who had fallen pregnant to a man from Lucas’ pack to the north. After discovering she was pregnant, she fled over the border and into Green Plains territory. To Alpha Patrick, this was treason, and he wanted her executed to set an example.

“Don’t blame me, blame Patrick,” said Dane, sensing Lucas’ aggression and hoping he could use it to his advantage. “He’s out of control.”

“Just between us, we’re getting very nervous about him.”

“He’s going to set us back a hundred years. All the progress we’ve made will be wiped out,” lamented Dane.

The Cape Point Pack was formed by Scandinavian werewolves forced into exile. Their brutal Viking nature made them the fiercest fighters going around. Their land was gained with a speedy yet bloody invasion that pushed Green Plains back, taking a sizable chunk of their territory. The two packs were sworn enemies for over a hundred years, until headway was made in the last few decades and The Commons area was established.

There was a rising fear that under Alpha Patrick’s increasingly aggressive rule, Cape Point was heading back to those dark days of savagery and isolation. Despite their truce, Green Plains still held a grudge, and it wouldn’t take much for Alpha Marcus to declare war.

“Marcus would have no problem with a war. He thinks we have an advantage with the weight of numbers, despite the strength of your army,” said Lucas.

“With all due respect, he’s an idiot if he thinks that. Have you seen my warriors? It wouldn’t even be close.”

“You and I both know that, but Marcus is too optimistic. He sees it as an easy opportunity to decimate your pack and regain our lost territory. He can easily blame the crazy neighbour to the south for being out of control if the Alpha King asks questions,” Lucas exclaimed, the worry evident on his face. “I don’t want it to come to that. I don’t want a war wiping out both our packs.”

“Neither do I. We need to think of a way of stopping it from getting that far.” Dane suggested, planting the seed of doubt he and Cara had been plotting for a while now. 

“Easier said than done,” said Lucas. “But tell Patrick we won’t be returning the girl, only for her to be executed. This could be war.”

Dane sat outside Alpha Patrick's office, tapping his foot as sweat beaded on his forehead. Glancing to his left he noticed Head Warrior, Henrik Paulus, looked even paler than usual, his eyes fixed on the floor as he drummed his fingers on the armrest.

He tried to think of Cara to calm himself down. She hated Patrick with a passion. He was the ringleader of the bullies when they were in school, and he ran his pack in the same way now. 

As a lowly Omega, Cara had copped her fair share of torment over the years at the hands of Patrick. When she and Dane met, it was love at first sight for both of them. He could still recall the way her cheeks turned pink as she smiled shyly at him, and couldn’t forget the way his heart had hammered in his chest.

She told him he was one of the only people in the pack who had ever looked at her and saw her for who she was, rather than her rank. 

He would do anything for her.

“It’s supposed to be hot on Sunday,” said Henrik, pulling Dane from his thoughts of Cara.

Dane shot him a cold, dark stare.

“The weather? Seriously? With everything going on, you want to make small talk about the weather?”

Henrik immediately regretted his attempt at cutting the tension in the air.

Dane was a formidable man. Not only was he Beta, he was also the strongest fighter in the pack, and as a result he’d earned a deep respect from the warriors. The warriors respected Dane more than they did the Alpha himself.

The click of the office door opening broke the awkward conversation. A petite brunette she-wolf exited the room, adjusting her housemaid’s uniform and blushing as she spotted the two men. 

“Come in, boys,” shouted Alpha Patrick.

As Dane and Henrik entered the office, Alpha Patrick zipped up his pants and took a seat behind his large mahogany desk, looking rather pleased with himself.

“She’s a terrible housemaid, but she makes up for it in other ways,” he said with a smirk.

Alpha Patrick was a medium-sized, yet muscular young man. He had been responsible for reinstating a hard line law and order regimen to the pack that had been abolished over a hundred years ago, and was known for making rash decisions.

Dane and Henrik made their way over to the desk, casually taking their places on either side of Patrick as he held court.

“When will people learn?” complained Patrick, holding up a few sheets of paper. “I’ve just had to sign off on the execution of three more wolves who didn’t feel like following the pack’s rules.”

“It’s their lucky day then, I guess,” said Dane flippantly. “We'll tear those orders up after the coup.”

“Coup? What are you–”

Before Alpha Patrick could even finish his sentence, Dane and Henrik simultaneously sunk their hidden daggers into his neck and chest. They twisted the blades as blood started trickling out, before removing them.

“What are you doing?” said Patrick breathlessly, aware that the wounds were most certainly fatal.

“Giving the people their pack back,” answered Dane.

Patrick lunged clumsily at Dane, disoriented and woozy from the blood loss. Dane responded with a hard punch to his jaw, shattering it on impact. Patrick’s head landed on his desk with a thud, finally lying still as a pool of blood formed around it.

“That's for Cara,” said Dane with an icy calm.

With Patrick now slumped on the desk, and most certainly dead, both men ceremonially drove their blades into his back and headed for the exit.

“We did it!” said Henrik, relieved.

“It was Cara’s idea. I think she’s just stopped a war.”

Chapter 02
Cara poked her head into the bathroom, where the shower had been running for the last forty minutes. Dane's hulking, naked body took up much of the glassed off shower area, and he had his forehead pressed against the cold tiles. She knew today had been hard for him.She was sure they’d made the right decision, but knew Dane well enough to know he’d be going over everything in his mind a hundred times, wondering if there was a better option than taking Patrick’s life. Murdering your Alpha was no small thing, after all. She knew the pack would support him and would be happy to be taken in a new direction.Cara noticed there was no steam rising from the shower, and quickly rushed to turn the tap off. Dane was freezing cold, with goosebumps spread across every inch of his hard, muscular body, but he was so deep in thought that it hadn’t even

Chapter 03
There was a sense of excitement in the air and a real celebratory vibe all around The Commons for the newly proclaimed Foundation Day. Everything had gone according to the plan Cara and Dane had plotted and got Lucas to buy into. Not only did they both stage brutal coups to remove their problematic Alphas, but they agreed to unite and merge the two packs. There were benefits for both packs. The nomads of Cape Point would have more room to roam, and Green Plains would gain access to the Cape's superior warrior army to defend itself from the attacks and invasions that were becoming more frequent. Green Plains had a lot of land, and all of the surrounding packs wanted a share of it. Once the merger had been approved by the leadership teams of both packs, it was embraced by the greater pack members wholeheartedly. Th

“Your what?” said Dane, incredulous.“Mate,” said Cara, staring at Lucas in shock.Dane felt like the ground beneath him was shaking, as though at any minute it would crack and send him plummeting downwards. Everything was falling apart.Not only was he not appointed Beta, he was so far down the ranking he was a nobody. To top it all off, the love of his life had finally found her mate, and it was the guy who’d screwed him over.Dane ran a hand over his shaved head. If he had longer hair, he’d be tugging it in frustration. Lucas took a step towards Cara with his hand outstretched and took her hands in his. The sparks of the mate-bond rushed over their skin, leaving a pleasurable elect

Chapter 05
Cara hadn’t slept much in the last few days and it was starting to catch up with her. Every night she was restless, tossing and turning as her mind was consumed with the decision she would have to make. Elusive as it was, sleep offered no reprieve, as even her dreams were plagued with visions of the man who owned her heart, and the mate who could give her the future every she-wolf yearns for.Dane was right, though. As much as she longed to leave her Omega status behind and have her place in the pack secured, she loved Dane and couldn’t just throw away their history together and her feelings for him.Kissing him goodbye as he left for the packhouse, she felt at peace with her decision. If Lucas wanted her as a mate, he was going to have to work for it.

Cara was in her happy place, the gym, midway into a decent run on the treadmill. Her phone buzzed in the holder, and her eyebrows shot up when she saw the Alpha’s number pop up on the screen in front of her. She immediately stepped on the edges away from the belt and hit pause on the treadmill, grinding it to a halt. She composed herself, not wanting to give away how nervous she actually was, and cleared her throat before answering.“Alpha Lucas,” she said cheerily. “How are you?”“I’m well, thank you Cara,” he replied in his deep baritone voice. She didn’t want to admit it, even to herself, but his voice alone stirred something in her.“What can I do for you?”

It wasn't a bad party, as far as these things go. The food was delicious, the music was pumping, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. They also seemed relaxed. It appeared that with the absence of the Alpha and Beta, the guests were prepared to let their hair down. Cara was mingling happily and was enjoying getting to know some of the new pack members. She had started the night wondering if she would have much in common with anyone, but was relieved to find they really were just werewolves like her, no better and no worse. She had agreed to a secret signal with Dane so that if she was in an awkward or uncomfortable situation, he could sweep in and get her out of it, but so far she hadn’t needed it. “Gamma Sam,” greeted Cara as he approached. “I’m Cara Nordstrom. Alpha Lucas was right, you do know how to throw a decent party.”

Chapter 08
A packhouse tradesman stood balanced on a step ladder, using a drill to repair the hinges on the door to Alpha Lucas’ office. The man responsible for the damage sat on a couch in the foyer, waiting for a meeting with Lucas.“Dane, come in!” shouted Lucas over the sound of the power drill.“Sorry about the door,” apologised Dane. “Although, I guess it was a better option than your face,” he added with a shrug.“That’s one way of looking at it.”Lucas wanted nothing more than to get rid of the smug arsehole sitting in front of him, but he was trying to be civil with Dane and keep their relationship workable. Disciplining him and making him more of an enemy than he already was, would affect how Cara saw him. The la

The sun was beating down as the warriors ran with packs on from the centre of town to the marshall post, just as they had the day before. Dane was determined to break a few more of these guys today. When they arrived at the hut, exhausted, Dane allowed a five-minute reprieve. They dropped their packs, guzzled water, and attempted to settle their breathing and heart rates. After only two minutes had passed, Dane had yet another surprise for the warriors. “Time's up, everyone get ready to train,” he barked. With a collective groan, they made their way over to line up, except for one of the younger Green Plains warriors. He dragged his heels and complained about the lack of recovery time. Dane marched over to him, his face only inches away, and screamed at him as his face turned red with rage.

“Henrik!” shouted Cara, waving her arm to catch his attention.He crossed the road in a quick jog, giving her a one-armed hug and a peck on the cheek.“Sorry I’m late. Blame your boyfriend though, he works me too hard,” he apologised with a small laugh as he opened the cafe door.“I was running late myself. I thought I’d be the one having to apologise to you. I’ve been spending so much time traveling back and forth between home and the new pack.”They found a table and ordered lunch. Henrik and Dane were best friends, and Cara had grown close to him over the years too. He was level-headed and easygoing, as well as a superb listener. He was the perfect sounding board
