Future Alpha Cleo Sharpe believes that she has it all: an amazing future, a devoted pack, and a handsome fiancé. She is horrified to learn that her mate is the pack loner, not the man whose ring she wears. Cleo finds this out as she finally has a chance encounter with Zander and feels irresistibly drawn to him. Neither one of them can resist the magnetic pull of a true mate and grow closer. Cleo even learns her fiancé is harboring a terrible secret. Zander Underwood is a man on a mission: he is determined to find his parents’ murderer, even if it means breaking his own heart and abandoning his mate. He will stop at nothing to avenge his parents' death, so they are not forsaken. As Cleo learns more about the dark forces that haunt the wolf packs, she will be forced to choose between the life she has always imagined and the enticing pull of man as intoxicating as he is mysterious.The Alpha's Reluctant Mate is created by Katrina Guerin, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 1: Dangerous Promises

The party was in full swing at the Wisteria mansion. I had been here before but not for a party. It was held in the ballroom of the west wing of the mansion, and the chandelier seemed to sparkle enchantingly. I imagined that it was polished before the day of the party.There were also appetizers being served such as veggie and cheese tartlets and grilled garlic toasts. Champagne was served to anyone who was the legal age. The decorations included black tablecloths, a beautiful arrangement of flowers, and an expensive crystal vase.I admired the decorations and atmosphere of the high-class party briefly before trying to find my boyfriend. He stood by a tall girl with black hair down to half of her back. I didn't feel jealous as I knew he only had eyes for me. Seconds later I was next to my boyfriend, Ash. We had been dating for a few months now, and it seemed destined as he was going to be a future Alpha of his pack too. I still couldn't believe that he was my boyfriend. He was tall

Chapter 2: Fighting Fate

It was my twenty-first birthday. Ash planned to come over to my pack's headquarters and give me my gift and have lunch with me. My pack's headquarters were located in a luxury cabin in the woods. It was equipped with a large kitchen, bathrooms, multiple bedrooms, meeting room, and an expansive training room. The doorbell rang and I let Ash inside the cabin. I noticed he had on a white dress shirt and jeans that hugged all the right places. He was so sexy. We sat on the couch, and he looked so excited to give me my gift. It looked like it'd be jewelry when I saw the small white cardboard box. I opened it up and tried to fake a happy reaction when I saw the gift. It was a gaudy gold bracelet with rubies that my sister would've liked. Didn't he know I enjoyed elegant yet simple jewelry? I managed to say, "Thanks Ash." "You're welcome. I saw it and thought of you." Suddenly a weird feeling came in the pit of my gut. It was almost as if a voice told me "he's

Chapter 3: Rejection

I stared outside my window at the woods outside the pack headquarters. Sometimes I needed to just think about any worries I had as a future Alpha. It always helped me with figuring out solutions to my problems. My heart rate also slowed down. A knock came on my door a few minutes later. My dad stood on the other side as I opened the door. I definitely had my dad's long nose and his eye shape. He had the same shade of hair color as me too. He motioned for me to follow him which I obeyed. He seemed even more serious than usual as we walked side by side down the hall. "Cleo, I think it's time you started doing more Alpha responsibilities. It's nearly your time to take over for me," dad said while we kept walking. "I completely agree and need to get more experience. There's so many things I need to learn still." He smiled wide and wrapped me in a hug, "I'm so happy that you want to learn more about being an Alpha. I can rest easy when you take over for me one d

Chapter 4: Strong Enough

I trained to become stronger over the next few days. One morning I woke up early and began serious training. I'd have to train in human and wolf form to become equally strong. I sparred with my friend, Megan Hunter. We were in the gym in the headquarters of our pack. Megan knocked me down with a wooden staff that we sparred with. She scolded, "Cleo, are you even trying?" I narrowed my eyes at her and said, "I am trying! Just give me time to warm-up." She scoffed and said, "Well you sure need a lot of warm-up time. It's been fifteen minutes already." I waited until she was ready and tried to strike her with my staff. She dodged it effortlessly which made me more determined. I kept trying to hit her, but she was faster than me and dodged every time. Eventually I knocked her down and smiled. When I let my guard down, Megan swept me with her staff causing me to fall down on my butt. I got up and we kept exchanging hits during the spar. We kept this up for an

Chapter 5: Unwanted

Ash and I had breakfast. He looked at me intensely after we were done. His eyes felt like they were staring into my soul. I looked back at him and felt myself reddening.Ash suddenly asked, "When do you want to get married?" He added, "I'm hoping for sooner than later."I frowned and said, "I don't think we can until my training is done. I'm sorry." I looked into his green eyes and added, "I really do want to get married, Ash."Ash suddenly got a mischievous grin on his face and asked, "Why don't we just elope? We could go today." He ran a hand through my hair and added, "It isn't crazy. Other people do it."I shook my head no and told him, "We can't. That wouldn't be right. I…" I paused and took a deep breath and continued, "I met my destined mate. But I rejected him. I only want to be with you." Ash's face looked as if I had struck him. His mouth was set into one of disgust, and no sign of his previous happiness held. I reached up to touch his shoulder, but he pushed my hand aw

Chapter 6: A Date with Her?

Zander POVI drove to the café where I had a date set up with Cleo. My rock music was set to a higher volume to drown out my thoughts. I hoped the date would go wrong. If only I could've gotten out of it.I couldn't believe Cleo had actually agreed to go on a date with me. I'd bet her parents had convinced her to do this. She may have been my mate, but I wasn't excited to see her again. I sat with a bored expression on my face.There was no point in hiding how I felt about the night. I rested my hand under my chin and looked out the window. I wished to be anywhere but the café.The café was a French style and had simple white tablecloths and triangle folded napkins with pictures of Paris scattered throughout the place. There were even authentic berets placed on a table near the cashier's counter. I was told to wear one but would never wear something like that.Cleo entered the café. She wasn't trying hard to impress me. A thin purple shirt hung on her loosely, while her jeans were

Chapter 7: Stay Away

Zander POVHe stood beside my chair. Great. I needed to be bothered by a stranger. I set my hand underneath my jaw and stared at him unamused.The guy gave me a death glare and had his arms crossed over his chest. I assumed this was Cleo's fiancé. His testosterone was showing. How did he know we were even at the café? I found it a little creepy. We hadn't openly told everyone about this date. I thought her parents were the only ones who knew about our plans. Had someone within our pack spread rumors that reached his pack? I've never seen him around ours, so I knew he was from a different one."Ash, what are you doing here?" Cleo's voice sounded up an octave than usual as she asked the question. She seemed almost scared with her unusual pitch of voice. I wasn't scared at all. He didn't look intimidating. He wore a dress shirt and top of the line jeans and shoes. Ash seemed like someone who thought he was better than everyone else. It was the way he stood up straight and tall.

Chapter 8: Off to Training

Zander POVI strolled through the mansion and walked past Cleo's room. I wasn't sure why I headed that direction, because I tried to not to see her much after the date. She probably hated me after that night. I had almost punched her fiancé in the face after all.Who wouldn't hate someone after that happens? I'd be surprised if she actually didn't hate me. Plus, our date was pretty bad. My wish had come true.I stopped when I heard her voice say, "Mom, do I seriously have to go off to train at another pack? Why can't I stay here?"I heard her dad's familiar voice sternly state, "You've got to train at another pack, since you aren't with your mate. It'll help make up for the loss of strength you have." He added, "This isn't optional Cleo."Cleo sounded angry and said, "Okay. I guess I'll go."Her mom added, "Zander is going to be going with you."I had to hear what she was going to say about me and stayed a little longer. Cleo's voice rose to anger and she said, "He has to go with

Chapter 9: Welcome!

Zander gazed into my eyes before pulling away quickly. My heart was racing so fast. I wondered if he heard my heart beating. It felt as if it would leap out of my chest.He said apologetically, "I don't know what came over me. Please forgive me."Forgive him for trying to kiss me? He shouldn't have apologized for that. Wait, what was I saying? I had Ash. But I couldn't ignore what I felt for Zander. He still had my heart rate up just by looking at me.Finally, I said, "It's okay. Let's just forget about this.""Good idea."I turned my gaze away from him and tried to calm myself down.He seemed different tonight, and I felt more aware of him than usual. Part of me wanted that kiss from him. I shook my head and noticed he was watching me."What are you thinking about?""Nothing." I tried to avoid eye contact and added, "We should get back on the road."He nodded his head in agreement and paid the bill for us without asking me. On the way out the door he held it for me. I tried t

Chapter 10: First Day

I stood in the training room facing my sparring partner. We were randomly paired up with someone. I was stuck with a girl who was a couple of inches taller than me and had a nose ring and eyebrow piercing. She didn't scare me, however.Within minutes she knocked me down with her wooden staff. I tried to get back up and was quickly pushed down. That was only the first partner I went through.The Alpha came into the room and said, "You all have to learn how to fight against an opponent who may have an advantage over you."She paired us up with people who were either taller, stronger, or faster than us. I got paired with a guy who was quite taller and more physically built than me. He looked down and me and said, "This will be a piece of cake.""That's what you think. You don't know what you're up against."I held back from punching him in the mouth and readied myself for our fight. Before we started, he added, "I want to do hand-to-hand combat.""I can handle that. You're on."
