“Wait, what? I’ll have a mate?”

Dad chuckled nervously, “Uh yeah, I should explain that too. After you turn eighteen, you’ll be able to tell who the Moon Goddess chose for you when you see them. Your wolf will tell you, and you’ll feel this…how do I explain it…magnetic pull towards them. Your souls will be tied unless you reject each other, and that will be the worst pain ever besides death. I would know,”

My mouth dropped open. “So, you’re saying that once I shift, something I’ll have no control over, I’ll then be fixated on some guy just because my hormones tell me I have to?”

This werewolf thing sounded more like a curse. It didn’t seem like I would have any control over my life anymore, and I hated everything about it.

He shook his head with a distant smile. “You know your mom felt the same way, but then she met me, and we immediately fell deeply in love. I think you’ll feel the same way once you meet yours. It’s deeper than that…this is your soulmate we’re talking about. You are chosen by fate to be together.”

"Ughhh, I don’t want a mate…I don’t want any of this!"

*** 17-year-old Angelique Baker is forced to move to a new town under mysterious circumstances. Starting a new school at the end of her senior year has already turned her world upside down, but just wait until she finds out she's mated to a werewolf and discovers the secrets her dad has been keeping from her since her mom's disappearance.
