I'll track you like a predator stalking its prey, and I'll inevitably capture you," he whispered hotly into my ear, closing the gap between us unexpectedly. "I vow to possess you repeatedly, until my essence becomes a part of your very being. You'll never escape my grasp." His hand gently caressed my cheek, a tender touch that contrasted with the chilling words he spoke. In this absurd situation, a melancholy smile tugged at my lips, acknowledging the reality of my current circumstances. "I'll shower you with everything, only to strip it away later. Jaselyn Everhart, you will always belong to me, now and forever." --- Jaselyn yearns for freedom from her tumultuous life within the Pack. After losing her parents to tragedy, she clings to the hope of accumulating enough resources to break free from her cruel uncle's grasp. Her dreams take an unexpected turn when she encounters her fated mate at the annual Peace Ball, only to be discarded by him the next day. But fate has other plans; the Alpha of the Pack, Zane Black, who also happens to be her rejected mate, holds her captive. He commands her to bear children for his chosen Luna, plunging her into a world of darkness that challenges her every hope.
