Synopsis

Lara has always felt like an outsider in her pack, and she rejects the idea of the mate bond that assigns her a partner. And when she meets her designated mate, Tony, she’s disgusted by his immaturity and arrogance. Unexpectedly, Lara finds a second chance at love with Kelton, a pack alpha who has spent years serving his community alone. Kelton is hesitant to pursue a relationship with Lara, given that his first mate was killed by rogues, and Lara herself is a rogue. Despite their reservations, Lara and Kelton can’t deny their intense attraction to each other. As they explore their feelings, they must confront their past traumas and learn to trust each other. Will they be able to build a future together despite the challenges they face?

Chapter 1Life is hard when you don’t quite know where you fit. Something had been off about me for a long time, though I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. Or maybe there was nothing off with me, maybe it was just the world I lived in that didn’t fit me.Lately, my determination to forge my own path, free of the opinions that restricted me, had me planning. I had been thinking about the future for years now, but more so recently. My birthday rapidly approached. Each birthday I reassessed my life. Each year I chose to suck it up for another year. This year was different. This year I will be 18. I will officially be an adult. That was my personal deadline.Mentally checking the list, I reviewed my packed items for what was probably the hundredth time. Phone, charger, favorite books, favorite clothes, essential toiletries, a few photos…. Then my mind floated to the past and lingered there just a bit too long. Everything started well for me, but somewhere along the way something chan...

Chapter 2
***Lara***Dinner began with the usual friendly banter. I smiled and nodded at appropriate intervals, as was expected. Half way through the main course, the conversation turned toward the serious matter they actually came to discuss.“Of course, Denzel. This situation hits close to home. Most of the missing girls are very close to my daughter's age, as you know,” my father gave me a soft smile and reached over to squeeze my hand. He actually did seem worried about me. But then it clicked. I was the perfect, convenient prop in this discussion.My mother, on the other hand, didn’t seem on board with the show. She shot me a look, like somehow this was all my fault. I wasn’t surprised. She always found a way to blame everything on me. Literally everything. I smiled sweetly at her. What else could I do?Kiren followed her lead and shot me an equally venomous look. My father smiled extra lovingly and squeezed my hand again, almost reassuringly. The simple and innocuous gesture just seemed t

Chapter 3
*** Lara ***I hadn’t told my dad exactly when I was leaving. I didn’t want to cause anymore pack or family drama than was necessary. I was glad we’d said our goodbye’s in the garden that day.Instead, after a quiet, almost normal family dinner the day our guests left, I headed to the garden one more time. Dad was right. This was probably what I’d miss the most about my pack, besides him. I had a gift for growing things. Over the years, in my free time, I’d created a gorgeous garden oasis. Almost like a maze of little garden rooms. Complete with a bountiful edible garden and cutting flowers. One day I would buy myself a little cottage in the country and start my garden over. It’s sad that I’d miss my plants more than I’d miss the people here. People are unreliable. Plants never judge. The thought briefly crossed my mind that I should have given my brother a letter too. I’d always hoped that one day he’d see sense. After all, he was just a kid too when everything went sideways with us

Chapter 4
**** Lara****A week later was my 18th birthday and for the first time in a long time, I decided to celebrate. Finally, I was legally an adult and fully independent. The thought was both thrilling and a tad disconcerting. I pushed my loneliness aside and focused on how best to celebrate.I decided on a night club. My heart raced as I got ready. I’d never actually been out like this before, or at all actually. Occasionally, I’d read at the local coffee shop on my own. But that was it. No dates. No parties. Certainly, no night clubs. Having no social life, I focused on school and graduated early. It was lonely but it was an achievement I was proud of. Of course, I often felt like a 40-year-old virgin librarian trapped in an 18-year-old’s body.This birthday was both my first hurrah ever and my last before I officially started college for real. The first real step in my new life. I’d been taking online classes for four years but still heading to a traditional campus was definitely an exp

Chapter 5
His touch felt truly magical. I’d heard that before of course, but I’d thought the descriptions were exaggerated. His soft, warm touch was both electric and addictive. This feeling was something on a level akin to heaven. Something I never thought I’d personally experience. Without realizing it, I hummed happily and leaned my head back against his hard, broad chest. It felt perfect. A sense of safety flooded my being, it felt like home. He felt like home. Goddess, it felt unbelievable. No wonder people lose their minds when the mate bond kicks in. How was I ever going to fight this feeling? How would I know which of my feelings were due to the mate bond and which weren’t? Maybe I should give this mate thing a chance? Goddess, I hadn’t even seen him or met him yet and I was putty.I rolled in his arms, unable to escape his hold, not that I tried too hard. I was hooked. In a split second his eyes closed, and he smashed his lips into mine.What the fuck! Maya, growled in my head. She had

Chapter 6
“Alpha Tony Giles,” the Beta answered my earlier question, still thoroughly confused. And, unless I’m mistaken, a tad amused. I also noted that my mate didn’t seem to have much to say anymore.“Great,” I said with an attempted peppy tone. In this loud bar I doubt anyone noticed if I failed to sell it. Despite my firm resolve to reject this mate, my wolf and I were still a little sad but definitely in agreement. We’d long since been rejected by our pack and had long been expecting a rejection from our mate. For as long as I could remember my brother and my mother told me at every possible opportunity that I was unwanted, that no one would ever want me. My wolf and I had been mentally prepared for it for so long.The last person either of my wolf or I would ever accept as a mate is the exact kind of judgmental sack of alpha attitude like the one that was currently staring at us like we weren’t fit to breathe the same oxygen as him. I knew that look well. That was the way my brother and

***Lara***As I stepped out into the cooler night air, I took a deep calming breath. I’d stashed my Jeep in the alley. The upside to having a tiny 4x4 is that I could pretty much park it anywhere. The internet steered me to this sneaky secret park. But before I reached my car, a big warm hand snagged my upper arm from behind. I spun, ready to fight.“Whoa. I mean no harm. I just wanted to talk to you.” I found myself face to face with the Beta guy. He’d instantly let go of my arm and raised his hands in surrender as he took a step back. I appreciated the gesture. My anxiety level was already at its peak before he grabbed at me, but now I could feel it ebbing a tad. He’s cute. We should do him and teach that Alpha pup a lesson, Maya practically purred in my head. We should do him? I didn’t get it, that wasn’t a phrase I was familiar with. Until Maya projected a few choice pornographic suggestions into my head to expand my vernacular. Right, thanks for that. I quickly caught on to ex

Chapter 8
Books, pens, pencils, schedule, map… I mentally ran through the list of everything I needed as I left my dorm room. Classes started yesterday but my first class is this morning. It’s an 8am class. It was only just after 6am, but I thought a walk around campus would help ease my anxiety and focus my thoughts. I’d already finished my bachelor’s degree in marketing and been accepted to this masters program for business. It wasn’t like I had anything else to do with my spare time. Not that I’d settled for a specific career goal as of yet. I’d just picked something that seemed pretty general and that I’d found relatively easy. Until I figured out exactly what I wanted to do with my life, an MBA would offer a good starting point for various job opportunities. That’s what I told myself. And if I sucked completely at life in the outside world, I could sulk back to my dad and accept a job in one of his companies. I really did not want to do that.Quit it! Maya snapped.Man, this having a wolf

Chapter 9
Suddenly, I didn’t think I could handle a second rejection. I knew that Maya hoped I wouldn’t rashly reject this one. Second chance mates were rare, but third chance mates were impossible. I could take a chosen mate, but people say it’s not the same as that fated mate connection blessed by the moon goddess. Maya spent the last hour and a half begging me to give him a chance. So, for now, I’d agreed not to reject him immediately, yet that didn’t settle my nerves that he would want to get rid of me.He’s probably planning how best to murder me and get away with it right now. Just talk to him. You’re spiraling, Maya huffed. Instead, I chose to do the super mature thing: I ran away. As I strode to the door, a hand struck out and grabbed my arm. Dropping my bag in surprise, I turned to glare at the jerk who grabbed me, ready to give him a piece of my mind. It wasn’t him. My mate. This was some other guy. I took note of his hoodie with the school logo, an athlete of some kind probably. H

Chapter 10
I don’t know when I fell asleep exactly. It was dark outside when I woke up. Thankfully, the headache was gone. Sometimes my migraines last for days. I was glad this wasn’t one of those times. I felt surprisingly well rested. Goddess, what was I going to do about my mate? My mate who most likely wanted to kill me. You’re spiraling again, Maya’s sleepy voice disturbed my inner ramblings. Yep, I was, but not without reason, right? Right? I could sense Maya’s annoyance with me. She had every right to be frustrated with me. Hell, I was frustrated with myself. Honestly, though, why would a second chance mate land in my lap right now. I barely dealt with the last one.I hadn’t been able to get him out of my head all day. Hell, even my room smelled like him: delicious, addictive, earthy, spicy. Amazing. Like a warm spring day… Fuck! My room smelled like him! Why did my room smell like him? I bolted upright in bed so quickly that my head ached a little. My eyes scanned my dark room and
