From the author of “A Broken Alpha” series comes a new and exciting but complicated world. In this world, things are different. For starters, Omegas’ lives are crueler and harsher. They are able to bear children without a mate, and due to this ability, many are enslaved and used as breeders. Adrian and his pack have undertaken a mission to free the omegas and give them a life of their choosing. To no longer be bound to serve but to live a life as they want. Following the path less taken is not easy and comes with heartache and pain. But joy will come in the end, or will it? Alaric, the future Alpha, is proud and cocky. He hopes to take his father’s place as Alpha when he turns 30. His beliefs mirror those of his father and his father’s father. Why fix what isn’t broken? Omegas are needy, horny little bastards always looking for a good fuck, so use them where they are best suited. Many have benefited from this way of living, and many continue to benefit from it. Alaric and Adrian are light and dark, yin and yang. But where light goes dark follows. And opposites attract eventually. Alaric despises Adrian and his “new” thinking and takes every opportunity to let Adrian know. Adrian can’t stand Alaric’s cocky, know it all attitude and can’t stand his unwillingness to change. With personalities and world views so different, one might wonder why the Moon Goddess would pair these two together. Come on a journey to a new world where love, magic, betrayal, and friendship come from the most unlikely of people and places. Can these two opposites help their packs and heal their people? Or will pride get in the way?

He only stares quietly at me, but I can see the conflict and confusion in his expression. "I'm sorry, Rhea. You're beautiful, and your scent..." his words trail as he buries his nose on my neck and inhales deeply. "It's the sweetest I've ever known. But I love your sister, and I made a promise I don't intend to break. We will have to reject the mate bond." "Why won't you believe me?" I plead, my voice raw. "I'm the girl you met that night. I am your mate!" Miles' gaze hardens as he points toward the exit. "You need to leave, Rhea. Or I'll have security escort you out." "You liar!" I scream as I yank Roxy's hair. "You've stolen everything from me!" I feel Miles' hands gripping my shoulders as he yanks me off her, shoving me backward. I land hard on my butt. "Listen to me, Rhea," he hisses, his voice filled with venom, his eyes cold. "I don't want to see you near me or Roxy again. If you do, I'll have you banished." He takes a step closer, towering above me. "I, Alpha Miles Mondragon, reject you, Rhea Chapman, as my mate. Accept it or reject it; I don't fucking care."
