I've been hunted by nightmares, fear and regrets my whole life, and I'm not willing to put others in danger of what might come for me. But what do you know, destiny has a way of playing games. There's a saying among shifters— Never reject an Alpah—. Well that's what I've done, and I'm learning the hard way. Jerome Knight is the Alpha of the woodlands pack, and my mate. One who I'm not at all ready to accept. He doesn't take no for an answer. After all, I never thought he ever got denied anything he wanted and I certainly won't be the first person he accepts a NO from. I either choose yes or yes. Or he'll force me by hook or crook. Even if it means bullying me into accepting him as my mate.
