SYNOPSIS

As a hobby, Atticus Grady planned to attack the Lycan Shadows pack, that was ranked second in accordance to power. He found himself in a very heated situation with its Alpha; not only did he caused havoc in the pack and pissed off their Alpha, but he also discovers that she is his mate.

And she's absolutely not what he was expecting. At all.

EXCERPT

"Get up."

Octavia looked up at him with a resistant expression. "Not until you give me an answer."

"Get up, Octavia."

"I told you, it's Alpha Octavia to you." She glared at him, knees still firmly planted on the floor.

"I said get up!" He growled before grabbing her arm and pulling her up to her feet. "I don't need your land, reinforcements, money, or power. Okay? You are all I ever wanted and now that you're here, I don't intend on losing you."

Blue-brown eyes met with gray-green ones as Atticus looked deep into her eyes.

"You are going to regret this." She enunciated each word slowly.

"I highly doubt tha-"

"Alpha, I'm sorry to intrude but Beta Onyx sent me and we have urgent matters to deal with." The two Alphas turned their heated gaze to Ludovic, making him feel small all of a sudden.

"Very well." Atticus answered before facing the silent Alpha in front of him. "You are to not leave this room. I'll send someone to bring you a meal shortly."

Octavia's fierce expression changed into dread as he began to walk back out the bedroom door. "W-what?" Her feet moved on their own accord at the moment that her hands shot out to grab him despite knowing it was already too late. "No! Atticus-"

Steely emerald eyes filled with panic were the last thing he saw before shutting the double doors tight, letting out the breath he didn't know he was holding. His gaze was fixed on the granite floor and no sound was coming from him as he listened to her rant. Ludovic cast him a wary glance.

"Not a word, Vic. Not a single word." Atticus spoke before his Gamma could and strode off towards his office. Ludovic merely nodded and followed behind him, drowning out the shouts of his Luna.
