The Golden Eyed Alpha

Amaya Lone Fantasy

“I don’t want this,” Allegra said quietly.
“There are other choices,” he said, deliberately ignoring the true meaning behind her words. “Bourbon, tequila, there’s probably even some absinthe left.”
She took a long sip of the drink to calm herself, feeling the alcohol burn down her throat. “Not the drink, idi*t. I mean you! Us! This! I don’t need this. I need an Alpha, not some weak, crippled gamma,” she spat out, instantly regretting the words. Marcus was right, she had a cruel streak that she needed to get under control.
Her words stung, but it was nothing he hadn’t heard before. He’d been called much worse by people that knew him better than she did. He was too used to being underestimated to let the hurt show on his face. He calmly sipped his whiskey, studying her over the rim of his glass. “I’ll make you a deal. Give me eleven months before you decide to reject me.”
“Why would it be any better eleven months from now?” She hated how much her voice shook as she asked the question, but the rejection of a fated mate was not something to take lightly.
“Because in eleven months we will find out if your brother is correct and you are an Alpha in your own right. At that time, you can mark me as your Luna… or not,” he added in a small whisper, the pain and fear of her rejecting him lancing through his heart. “And if you are not Alpha of Black River, perhaps being the mate of a Gamma would be a small consolation. Even a crippled one.”
When Allegra Black's older brother, Micah, fails to become their pack's new Alpha, it falls to Allegra to keep their pack together until a suitable Alpha can be found. Micah is convinced that Allegra herself is destined to be their Alpha, there's only one problem: females are not allowed to take on the role. Allegra has to travel to their ally's territory to ask for their continued help and protection while their pack is vulnerable, where she finds out that her mate is Conall- not an Alpha-but a Gamma, that is bound to a wheelchair due to an attack from his childhood.
Can Conall help Allegra find the compassion she needs to be a good leader? Will Allegra learn to trust those around her and accept her fate?
