I thought I knew him. I did. He was the beta of a true-blooded alpha and he was my mate. What I didn't know was how dark his past was and how much he had been affected by it. I didn't know that he would need me more than I thought possible. I never knew being in his life would change me forever. Maybe if I had known I would have done some things differently. Maybe then I wouldn't feel so guilty about the person he had become. All I knew was because of me, he became something different. He was gone. No longer was he just a beta, he was a bad beta, and he was mine.

Luca Vega is a shy, compassionate nerd. He longs to meet his mate, his other half, someone who will accept him and love him for who he is. When he meets Ashley Blakely his quiet life spins out of control. Ashley Blakely was a barbie and proud of it. Pink was her favourite colour, fashion was her life, and social status was law. She couldn't wait to meet her mate. At least that's what she thought. She knew he would be an alpha, strong built, and every girl would want him. He would dress in designer clothes and they would be the new it couple because she would settle for nothing less. What happens when her mate turns out to be the nerdiest of all nerds and the runt of the pack? Well, she rejects him of course. Add another woman, some hidden secrets, and life for him takes on a whole new meaning.
