Trigger Warning: mention of SA and attempted SA Six months ago Amelia was a law school student. She was top of her class on track to being valedictorian. She had a great life, and a great car. She was also beautiful, stylish, the life of the party. Not to mention she had the boyfriend all the girls wanted. Skylar Ames. Skylar is drop dead gorgeous. Everyone wants him but, only Amelia can have him. But, one night he pushes Amelia too far and she gets a glimpse of his true colors. That night changed her life forever. The next morning she woke up and it was like waking from a dream into a nightmare. Her whole world comes crashing down and in her moment of greatest need her family shows what she always knew to be true. They were the same as Skylar. Vane. Vicious. The same way she had been her whole life. Just like that it was like the veil had been lifted from over her eyes. Amelia dropped out of lawschool. Left behind the cushy job she had been promised at the best law firm in the country. Left behind all the money and the cars. She had scraped and grinded until she was able to get a one bedroom apartment. Amelia finally feels like she's begining to heal from what happened, and then she receives an invitation. Her sister Abbey is getting married. To none other than Damien Ames, Skyler's little brother. Just seeing the invitation had her reeling. But, after weeks of begging Amelia's best friend Lizzie finally convinces her to go. The entire week of the weddings events are planned. Planned down to the last detail. Which is shocking for Amelia because it's almost an exact replica of the wedding she had told her sister she had been planning for her future. The whole event has Amelia spiraling. Especially when she learns Abbey has paired her with some groomsmen for the entire weeks events. Not just any groomsmen but, a world renowned famous CEO. What could Abbey's motives possibly be for pairing them together? And why is Amelia so immediately attracted to him?

She could hear his pounding footsteps against the concrete behind her. The rain pelted her face as she ran, blurring her vision as she sped through the city streets. She knew he was going to catch her. She was exhausted from everything she had been through in the last two weeks. He was close now, she could hear his heavy breathing behind her. She turned a corner and ran as fast as she could down a narrow dimly lit alley. That's where he caught her. He pushed her against the cold brick wall of the run down building. He pinned her there with his body. He was pressed against her with one hand on each side of her head. Esme was overwhelmed. Their connection set her skin on fire and now that they're bodies were flush against each other she felt like she had been engulfed in flames. She was pressed against his wide muscular chest. His white tee-shirt was soaked through and plastered against his skin. His long dirty blonde hair was dripping wet and had fallen into his face. His beautiful statuesque features were contorted with anger. His grey storm cloud eyes were filled with fire. For a few long moments the only sound filling the air was the rain and their heavy breathing. "We are not playing this game, Esmerelda." He told her. His words were dripping with anger. His deep reach baritone sent a shiver through her. She hated the way her body responded to him. "You're not running from me again. You know I'm just going to catch you." "I'm not doing this anymore! I won't put you at risk! You're an Alpha Alex! You're duty is to protect your pack!" She shouted, she began to struggle pushing against his chest with all her might. He didn't even budge. "My duty is to protect my pack as much as it is to protect my mate!" He shouted back."You belong with us! Christian and I will protect you!" Esme saw her window catching him off guard and punched him right in the gut. He instantly released her. Before she even made it two steps he had slammed her back up against the wall. Esme gasped when she saw his face. His eyes were pitch black. "I will have what is mine!" He growled before smashing his lips down on hers.
