Rejecting Fate
“Hm. Sounds like this little mouse wants to play. I can’t promise you more than tonight, Emerald, but let’s not deny we both want this,” his silky voice overwhelms me as he gently strokes my hair behind my shoulders.
I do want this. I want him. Hell, even my wolf is jumping around in the back of my mind in excitement. What do I have to lose?
After tonight, this would mean nothing to him. And I can say I did something for myself for once. This doesn’t have to be anything but one night.
“What do you want, Sir?” I ask him softly.
With no warning, he crashes his lips into mine.
--------------
Emerald Patience Stone is the second eldest of the five Stone Sisters. Known for her strengths as a strategist, Emmy excels in thinking one step ahead of her opponents. As smart and strategic as she is, she couldn't foresee being used and turned down by men. Accepting her fate as always being second-choice, Emmy makes a plan to go out on her own and pursue her own dreams, rather than sacrificing her wants for her family, again. That plan is ruined when Emmy is, once again, asked to help her family forge an alliance with another pack, to help defend against a shared enemy.
Alpha Vincenzo is the distant, but caring, Alpha of the Forza Pack. With a dark past, he has accepted that he is destined for a life alone- filling his evenings with meaningless one-night stands. After all, he is cursed, and won't risk hurting anyone else.
Will Emmy and Vincenzo be able to defeat the enemy lurking in the shadows?
Will they open themselves to the possibility of love once more?
