Two strangers fall captive to a sudden delectable aroma in the air. The scent guides their eyes to meet, igniting a spark which blazes into an inferno of ecstasy from a single touch. A fated blessing from the Moon Goddess herself, but Tessa needed to avoid her happy ending at all costs. After suffering a devastating loss, Tessa must fight to keep her birthright as her pack's next Alpha, but her new position unearthed a harrowing discovery. Relationships were a weakness she couldn't afford and that included her mate. Years passed and Tessa was thrilled with the thought she'd be alone forever. Everything was finally running smoothly, until her mate arrives at her pack's border. Will she accept him, or will her pride push her towards rejection? Copyright 2020 All Rights Reserved

Chapter 1

~Tessa~

The sun's rays forced their way through the darkness of night, awakening birds from their slumber. Their ethereal songs danced with the wind, starting a day where anything was possible. But nature was oblivious to the tragedy of the past and the lively birds never seemed to notice the young she-wolf crying alone in her room.

“An Alpha must be strong,” Tessa repeated under her breath, hoping the mantra would erase all of her sadness and self-doubt. “It’s almost been a year. Your family might be gone, but your pack needs you,” she reasoned, wiping the tears away. The reflection of her swollen, red eyes made her sick, but a familiar voice pulled her from her trance.

“Tessa Hayes, you’re late for training. John is already outside and it’s rude to keep him waiting on you,” her grandmother shouted, sounding very impatient.

“I’m coming,” Tessa called out, masking her emotions before racing out of her room and down the stairs. “I’d be lost without you, Gran,” she smiled, giving her a quick kiss goodbye before rushing out the door.

 

“What happened? Were you having a bad hair day or something,” John scoffed, glaring at his watch.

At least I have hair,” Tessa thought, biting her tongue to stop herself from speaking her mind. She accepted his malice for being late, but his demeaning comments and attitude infuriated her.

“Ignore it for now. Despising John is nothing new, but Dad trusted him enough to watch over his family so he must be good for something,” she thought, taking calming breaths as she followed him to the main office of the packhouse.

John was still her Beta and with her father gone, he was the only person left to train her in managing pack protocol and politics.

After hours of reviewing contracts, and listening to conference calls, Tessa peered at the clock and saw it was finally time for combat training. She rushed out of the stuffy office to the open fields where her Uncle Tyler waited for her.

“Keep your guard up or you’ll find yourself running laps around the border until morning,” he growled after Tessa took a right hook to the jaw. The force sent her falling to the ground.

After pounding the dirt, Tessa wiped the blood from her lip with a smile and charged ahead. “Today is the last time I’ll be knocked to the ground,” she thought, using her new determination to take down her Uncle.

A few years passed and Tessa’s grandmother was giving her an earful over dinner. “What do you mean you graduated early? There are only a few months left of school. Instead of rushing through life you should be enjoying your youth, not locking yourself away in an office or throwing fists with warriors in the mud. How will you make friends your own age now?” 

“Gran, I’m not interested in spending time with girls my own age. The only wolves I need are my Beta and Gamma. I have more important things to worry about than the latest fashion trends or who kissed who behind the bleachers,” Tessa gagged, refusing to meet her grandmother’s worried eyes. “This was the best decision for everyone.”

Her grandmother didn’t see how Tessa’s strong aura intimidated her classmates. They began avoiding her like the plague, but their behavior didn’t bother Tessa one bit. Instead, it proved she was on the right path to achieve her Alpha dream. The next step was developing a strong defense which started at the bottom.

“Listen up, if we all work hard, Blue Ridge can be the strongest pack in the region. Our reputation will be our first line of defense, but we’ll need the skills to back it up. Are you ready,” she challenged the children who watched her with wide eyes.

Tessa expected to find fear staring back at her, but their expressions burned with excitement. The atmosphere was buzzing with anticipation, and she swore her younger brother was among the group. Feeling his presence meant more to her than anything.

Her classes quickly caught her pack’s attention and soon both men and women of all ages joined her for training. All determined to learn how to fight and uphold their future Alpha’s expectations.

By the time her 17th birthday grew near, Tessa’s own training paid off. She broke every record held during the Warrior exam and was undefeated in her human form. Not a single pack member dared to dispute her claim as Alpha. The sheer pride, loyalty, and respect she felt rolling off her warriors buried the girl who used to cry alone in her room until she became a distant memory.

One night while Tessa laid in bed, she heard a clear conversation coming from the kitchen between John and her grandmother. “Do you think she can handle all of this alone,” her grandmother whispered, but it sounded like she was beside Tessa in the bedroom.

“Who knows. I think we’d better pray she finds her mate soon. A strong male figure is what this pack needs,” John mumbled, and Tessa became enraged.

She reached for her doorknob, ready to rush downstairs and curse him out when she crushed the metal knob in her hand like a piece of paper. “What the hell,” she thought, examining her palm when she caught a glimpse of her reflection.

Her dark hazel eyes glowed like embers and her muscles were more defined. “Am I taller,” she wondered, but a sudden urge to be outside sent Tessa rushing out the door.

A gorgeous full moon hung low in the sky, cascading a soft glow over the landscape. The air thrummed with a comforting sense of warmth and peace and Tessa found she couldn’t resist reveling in the sensation, until a bone snapped in her shoulder and searing pain overtook her body.

Tessa swallowed her agonizing screams. “An Alpha must be strong,” she repeated in her mind like a prayer. 

She felt her grandmother and John rush to her side. Both shouting words of encouragement and comfort, but Tessa couldn’t make them out over the sound of her bones breaking and blood rushing in her ears like a storm. Her vision blurred as she fell forward to the ground, shifting for the first time.

When she finally opened her eyes, Tessa saw the world in a new light. Her body was sore as she stood tall, digging her claws into the dirt, but she felt a pleasant connection with the earth and the need to run calling her name.

Before taking off for the woods, Tessa felt a presence at her side and found John looking over her form. He seemed surprised by her enormous towering frame. “Do you think I still need a male now, John,” she growled to herself.

“You truly are an Alpha,” he whispered, stepping back to bow his head in respect. Tessa huffed her approval, then walked off into the woods where she picked up the pace.

After a few blissful hours of running, Tessa relaxed by the lake near her home. Her reflection was breathtaking with her eyes glowing brightly in the moonlight. The feeling of peace returned to her body when she laid down and closed her eyes to finish making the sacred connection with her wolf.

“Deep breaths, in and out,” Tessa coached herself, trying to relax. It didn’t take long for her to hear a low growl resonate within the back of her mind.

With a final breath, her wolf’s sultry voice filled her thoughts. “We are finally one.”

Tessa released a powerful howl to the Moon Goddess as thanks for this blessing. The peaceful forest erupted with a joyous response from her pack and her mind-link was flooded with congratulations. Her wolf was the final step in becoming the Alpha she was meant to be.

Chapter 2
~Tessa~ A bright flash of lightning and the pitter-patter of rain against her window woke Tessa from her restless sleep. She rolled to her side and checked the time on her phone. “Looks like I win again,” she muttered, waking long before her alarm once again, but the date caught her eye. “I can’t believe it’s been seven years. Now I know why my dreams were haunted by memories,” she sighed, missing her family, but she wouldn’t dwell on it. Nothing would have been accomplished if she kept herself trapped by despair, and ignoring her emotions has worked in her favor so far. Instead, Tessa threw the covers off her body and sat on the edge of her bed with her arms stretched above her head and her toes buried in the thick plush carpet. When her fingers failed to untangle the knots in her hair, she sighed in frustration and met her gaze in the mirror. "An Alpha must be strong," she whispered and stood, walking into her bathroom. Her wolf gave a reassuring growl, feeling Tessa's anguis

Chapter 3
~Tessa~ *Mature Content* Tessa sighed as she sifted through the reports. She found it odd that there was no history from his childhood, but based on the sheets in her hands, nothing in Alpha Monroe's file that warranted their suspicion. He seemed to be a respected Alpha who ran a reputable business and didn’t even have a speeding ticket on his record. The next folder on her desk, labeled photos, piqued Tessa’s interest. "Let's take a look at this "perfect” Alpha. He's probably some sissy raised with a silver spoon in his mouth," her wolf teased. Tessa chuckled and leaned back in her chair while unraveling the string around the folder. “What would this perfect man look like,” she smirked, but there was a knock at the door before she pulled out the first photo. "Come in," she announced to her visitor, placing the folder on top of her desk as the door opened. "Oh, what brings you here Elijah," she asked, stretching her arms above her head. "I brought you something to eat since you

Chapter 4
~Dainin~ "This is going to take some getting used to," Dainin thought, enjoying the tranquil ride through the thick, luscious green forest. After the chaotic week his pack endured, Dainin felt hopeful their situation would only improve, but then Alan told him how they were being treated at the border of Blue Ridge. Dread began digging a pit in his stomach, souring his mood with each passing mile. “If they’re expecting us to kiss ass just to win this guy over, it’s not happening,” he growled, wishing they could have stayed in Arizona where there was no one to answer to. "Enough! That’s what got us here in the first place," snapped his wolf. "This needs to work out for the pack's sake," he justified. After much hesitation, Dainin reluctantly nodded his head in agreement. "At least there’s plenty of space between our future pack land and theirs. Hopefully, we'll never have to deal with them once this is over," he hoped, but immediately felt a foreboding chill snake down his spine. “

Chapter 5
~Dainin~“Look at this place,” Alan admired as they drove through the small town within Blue Ridge. Their pack land was beautiful and well-kept with a packhouse, resembling a five-star hotel, plenty of private housing, and even their own working farm. The landscape was vibrant and Dainin wondered how his pack would adjust to moving from the desert to a lush forest. “They’ll love it. We’ll all be able to run and live freely here,” his wolf assured him, and he was right. The chance of being discovered by humans was slim this far in the forest and Blue Ridge proved there was potential to live comfortably. Dainin and his warriors turned up a long-hidden driveway behind the large black wolf who was escorting them. At the end was a three-story French colonial surrounded by beautifully maintained property and a breathtaking garden in the center of the rounded driveway. While they exited their vehicles the wolf shifted back into a man and waited for them at the door. “Dainin, this is the Ga

Chapter 6
~Dainin~ Dainin paced the conference room, growing impatient the longer he waited for the Alpha to arrive. His mate's scent overwhelmed his senses from the moment he stepped into the packhouse and he needed to see her. "Are you in a rush to be ignored again? Don't forget why we're here," his wolf growled. "Well, the sooner we get this settled, the sooner we can get answers from her," Dainin snapped, pointing out the obvious. "You don't think I want to find her as desperately as you do? I'm choosing to focus on the pack's needs first," his wolf exclaimed, and Dainin took his seat before his fist flew through the nearest wall. He wasn't trying to be selfish, but he needed to know the relationship between his mate and the Alpha. He wouldn't accept losing her after they just found each other. He just needed to catch her eye. "You definitely caught someone's attention," his wolf stated gravely and Dainin turned to see the Beta staring him down. She wore the same judgmental expression

Chapter 7
~Tessa~ Tessa left the conference room fuming. Dainin was already proving to be like all the other weak Alphas and Betas who have tried to tame her over the years. He wanted a submissive Luna. Someone who'd sit around all day quietly raising pups and be ready to please him when ordered, but that would never be her. "You'd think the Moon Goddess would have paired us with someone less shallow," Tessa sighed, stopping to watch the Warriors train outside from the large picture window. Deep down, she felt disappointed. "Well, I don't think a 20-minute meeting is enough time to decide. We can only find out if we give him a chance," her wolf whispered. "Since when have you gone soft? Are you ready to roll over for him already," Tessa snapped. Her wolf whimpered in response to her hostile tone. "I'm sorry. It's not your fault," Tessa apologized with a frustrated sigh. She knew her wolf was only trying to help. Groaning in defeat, Tessa turned away from the window to press her back again

Chapter 8
~Tessa~ Tessa paced the length of her bedroom in a silk robe. She couldn't believe how fast the day went and she barely slept because of her nerves. She was only busy with planning the annual Leadership Conference for a few hours and then her Grandmother became suspicious when she tried to help plan the ball. Eventually, Tessa was tricked into admitting her plans for the evening and was sent off to her room to get ready. She cringed hearing her Grandmother carry on about how she couldn't wait to see her future "Grandpups" running around. Now, it was a few hours since then and she wasn't even close to being ready. "I feel like a pathetic teenager," Tessa growled, holding a couple of dresses up to her body in the mirror. She couldn't decide if she wanted to dress to impress or make it seem like she put in as little effort as possible. Her wolf laughed at her dilemma and then continued to daydream about their mate. It seemed she knew exactly what she wanted out of this night. "Don't

~Tessa~ Tessa took in the night sky as she tried to think of a way to start this conversation. "Can we truly be honest with him," she wondered, her heart racing at the thought of his reaction. "There is only one way to find out," her wolf urged, so Tessa looked back to Dainin and met his adoring eyes. A lump formed in her throat with the words she wasn’t ready to say. "Let's eat before it gets cold," she coaxed, removing the lid to inhale the savory aroma. They ate in silence for a moment before Dainin's deep voice resonated through the air. "It means everything to me that you would plan something so intimate," Dainin softly admitted and Tessa froze. "So much for thinking of it as just a meeting," she thought to her wolf, sheepishly drinking water. "Dainin there's something I need to say and it may be a game-changer for you. If it is, I will accept your rejection." "Okay, I'm listening," he said calmly, his happiness turning to worry with a deep nervous breath. "It's now or neve

Chapter 11
~Dainin~ Dainin leaned with his palms flat against the shower tiles. The hot water running down his body soothed his aching muscles after a grueling sparring match with his mate. At first, he was excited to get his hand on her, but it quickly turned into a test of speed and agility. When Tessa gained the upper hand she took him down fast and hard with no remorse. “Probably getting back at you for leaving her against the tree,” his wolf growled, still upset with Dainin for refusing to finish what he started. "It wouldn’t have been what she wanted,” Dainin sighed, his jaw growing tense thinking about last night. He knew if their eyes met, he’d lose control. ”She made it clear she didn’t want to rush things during dinner. If we took advantage of her emotions from the bond how could we face her,” he asked. “You’re right,” his wolf admitted. ”Besides that, our pack’s training needs work. The few Warriors we brought could barely hold their own against Blue Ridge today. Once our pack is s
