Elisa is a 17-year-old Alpha's daughter, whose life turns upside down when her father tells her she and her sister need to leave the pack for their safety. A new beginning in a foreign country doesn't sound that bad, except she must marry the Alpha of the Emerald pack, a man she has never even met. How is she expected to be part of this ancient tradition? How is she expected to marry a man that is not even her mate? But the worst of all, how is she expected to marry someone when she can’t stop thinking about Theo, her summer crush, or whatever? …………………...................................................................................................................................................... I always aspire for a love like the one you see in movies and read in books. The kind of love that makes your heart flutter. The stories that pop up in your head before you go to sleep, or the ones you daydream about when he is not around. In some ways, I got that. I got the love and passion that these stories portrait. I got the craziness and the hundred mistakes. I got the never-ending love I felt for him. But I never got the happy ending. How was that possible? Wasn´t this crazy amount of feelings supposed to be worth it? Wasn’t all of this supposed to end differently? I could see the pain my words cause him, and it felt as if my heart was shutter in a million pieces. Nevertheless, I was mad at him, and I could feel my rage starting to fill every fiber of my being. - “You know why. You’ve always known. You just decided that it was not important, and the worst part is I let you. I let you throw everything that matter to me away.”- I could see how his eyes widened, surprised by my outburst - “You only think about yourself, your future, your problems, your life. What about me? What about my future? What about my problems? What about my life? Have you ever thought that I may have a past too? That I also have a family that has expectations. That falling in love with some random guy, was not part of my plans. Or that this, us, is not easy for me either.” - “I love you” – he said – “I hope you know that.” He started walking towards me, and every step he took made my heart beat even faster. - “Falling in love with you was not part of my plans either. Especially when I know we don’t have a future together.” I saw it in his eyes when the rational part of him won over. His voice became cold and even if his arms were still around me, I stopped feeling welcome in them. - “Unfortunately, our future is not something that I can fix. And your problems, are something that I cannot know about. We both agreed on this. No past, no future. Remember?” His words would have sounded cruel if it wasn’t all my idea.
