Chapter 3 Sleeping with the EnemyEvery ounce of sanity jolted out of me as my back hit the solid wooden door. I wouldn't dare flee anymore.In the center of the room, Alpha Ryker stood with the full moon looking down over him through massive floor-to-ceiling windows, casting long shadows over his face. His fingers fumbled playfully with the last button of his dress shirt, which he finally just shrugged off to the floor in a careless heap.I swallowed hard, my eyes smoldering with disbelief.He was majestic. And dreadful.His torso was a scene of trauma. Thick cords of muscle caressed his ribs and his stomach; yet, it was the scars that held my attention. Claw marks. Burn scars. Knife wounds. And tattoos that were black tribal ink, swirling over his shoulders and down his arms, declaring him a warrior of the Old Ways.He looked like a god of war carved from obsidian."Quit staring, Ryker drawled as he kicked off his shoes.

Chapter 1 The RejectionThe music in the Grand Hall was so loud that it shook against my ribs, but the only sound I could hear was the pounding of my own heart.This was it. The Mating Ball.Every girl in the Silver River Pack had dreamed of this night since her eighteenth birthday. It was the night the Alpha would choose his Luna. It was the night that I, Elara Vance, would stand by the side of Alpha Kade as his equal.I adjusted the strap of my cheap, secondhand blue dress. My hands shook nervously. Hundreds of pack members around me were watching me some with curiosity, most bordering on mockery.

She is a defect."I bit my lip and tasted blood... Ignore them, Elara. Kade loves you. He told you he did not care about your wolf.
