I was forced to reject my mate, and it nearly destroyed me.
I’m one of the lucky wolves who find their fated mate. Or I was, until my pack Alpha gives me a choice: reject the human omega or watch him die. Rejection hurts, but not as badly as the alternative.
I move across the country for college, knowing that if I don’t, I’ll never be able to stay away from him.
Years pass, I graduate, get offered a spot on my favorite hockey team, and to the outside world, I’m living the dream. Only my dream is a nightmare, one where my wolf is barely holding it together.
The wound left by denying fate is just as raw as the day I was forced to make my choice.
I’m biding my time until I’m strong enough to challenge my pack Alpha and find my omega and attempt to win his heart again. Time runs out when I attend a charity event and scent my mate.
He’s one of the reporters covering the event. I lose control, all that exists is Benedict and me. I mark him, right there in the hallway.
He may be the puck of my life, but if I don’t do something quickly, he won’t be alive long.
