"The only reason I said okay to this mating was for the sake of my Pack. Our relationship will only be a way to ensure peace between our packs. I don't like you. And I never will. So do not have any ideas." Ashly stared and asked,  "How is this fair to me?". "Life is unfair, Omega. I have a girlfriend. She is the one I will always love. You are just an inconvenience. I know how to get rid of you, and I will, after making sure the thwart between our packs won't ever be affected. I hate you, Ashly James. That's a constant."   Ashly, an Omega from the Shadow Pack, and Alex, an Alpha from the Moonlight Pack, are engaged to be mates as a peace treaty between the two packs that have been at odds for centuries. Ashly falls in love with the Alpha, even though Alex is rude. Alex doesn't want Ashly as his mate. He is in love with Jasmine from the Starlight Pack and does everything he can to make Ashly despise him and break off their marriage. Now, here, Ashly is waiting for her Alpha to come home to her from his secret lover. Will Alex realize Ashly's worth, or will Ashly get fed up with being stuck in a loveless marriage and decide to leave behind Alex, the only guy her heart yearns for? At last, Alex crossed his line when he slept with Ashly and made her pregnant. Life gets more difficult for Ashly when Alex leaves her after making her pregnant. 15 years later, Ashly lives in a small, rundown apartment in the worst part of the city with her 14-year-old son, who won't stop asking about his Alpha dad. What happens when Alex and Ashly meet?

“I need this job, Ralph, and I’m willing to do anything to get the job, I mean anything you want.” I told him, walking over to his side and sitting on his table, spreading my legs to give him a good view of my thong. “What makes you think I would fall for this cheap act of yours, what makes you even think I’m interested in your body?” he asks me, his eyes fixed on my cleavage. “I know you like me, Ralph, you can’t take your eyes off my body, I see you drooling when I walk by and I know you want more of me. Besides, how can you not want more when you’ve had a taste of me already. You popped my cherry, remember?” I asked him, putting my legs on his armchair, fixing my eyes on his. “Fine, you win, you got the job, goddamit! Just get out of my office before I do something stupid.” He yelled at me, pulling his hand through his hair in frustration. I smiled excitedly as I jumped down from the table, heading for the exit. “And Victoria, ”he called out to me as I opened his office door. I turned with a raised brow praying in my heart that he doesn’t change his mind. “Be very careful around me, I can be very dangerous when provoked. This emotional blackmail won’t work on me all the time. The next time you try to seduce me again, I won’t hold back, I would screw you right here on the bare table,” he warned me sternly. I know that was meant to sound like a threat, yet I moaned at the thought of him bending me over on his table and screwing my brains out.
