"He walked towards the bed and lowered me to it. I took a deep breath as he climbed on. I let it go when he crawled in next to me. He sat up and I looked up at him as I lay beside him. This was new, so new. I didn’t know what to do, but I did know I didn’t want to ruin this. I didn’t want to mess anything up. I didn’t want to lose him".
When I woke up today, I didn't expect my one happiness in life to hit me in the face, literally. He hit me in the face.
As the weakest, unranked members of the pack, we live on the outskirts. Growing up in an abusive household, I'm used to watching my mother be on the losing side when it comes to love.
I've sworn to never be like her.
Every time her boyfriend, Greg, picks up the bottle, one of us feels the brunt of his anger. When I turn to my boyfriend, he takes me out, but during a night that was supposed to be special, the worst happens. I realize I might have more in common with my mom than I would like, all because I couldn't take my eyes off the alpha at the next table.
Levi refuses to let me stay with my abusive boyfriend. I'm used to being alone, but with him back in my life, I don't have a choice. When I come across the alpha from the other night, Andrius makes me an offer I can't refuse: a way out.
