My eyes narrowed with disgust as her face fell apart and lost the last crumbs of grace she had.
"Keep your voice down." I warned her coldly, pressing my hand harder onto her mouth until she nodded her head.
"You are not to breathe a word about that night to anyone, do you understand me?"
My frown deepened as tears started falling from her eyes and she began sobbing and trying to look pitiful. I couldn't help myself, she was too ugly for me to not say anything. That was not a face I ever want to be associated with.
"you really shouldn't do that, you're a hundred times uglier when you cry. How many times do I have to tell you to stop making those faces?!
"Sorry, I'm sorry-" She hiccuped but still continued to stare at me.
"Stop looking at me like that!" I snapped and she lowered her head ashamedly. "f**k, I must've been out of my mind! I can't even look at you, how did I force myself to f**k you?!" Her head shoots up in disbelief at my words.
"Bu- but.. You said you wanted to be with me, you said nothing matters anymore since we're mates, you said I'm yours-" She sniffed out stupidly and I grabbed a hold of her little neck.
"I f*****g told you to stop saying that! You're being delusional, I would never say such things to an ugly, pathetic b***h like you. I've always f*****g hated you and that is never going to change. You are not my mate! I don't know what twisted joke the Goddess is playing but I will never ever fall for someone like you, you know that Ariela. You're not even worthy of being my f**k toy. I'm not going to waste my time on you, let's get this done and over with. I, Hayden Blackthorn, alpha of the Black Claws Pack, reject you Ariela as my mate."

From the moment his green eyes locked with hers, Ariela knew that her broody, undeniably attractive new step- brother who also happens to be the Alpha's son, hates her guts and will probably hate her forever. After her mother strangely disappears and the Alpha dies, Ariela is left in the hands of her knew keepers and endures torturous abuse as pack enemy number one and suffers Hayden's sworn punishment everyday. With the Mating Ball coming up, Ariela hides away as she thinks that she's unworthy of having a mate, but fate plays a cruel card and she discovers that the growling, wet, ragged, panting Hayden is her mate and his wolf wants a piece of her.
In the heat of passion and irresistible desire, Hayden passionately marks her, only to ruthlessly reject her and remind her of his hatred the morning after.
Secretly pregnant, hurt and humiliated, Ariela runs from her pack but gets into a tragic accident that leads to her having memory loss and having to start over in human lands.
A year after she's left, Hayden, burdened with regret finds out she was pregnant by him and looks for her and his pup, the only issue is; Ariela doesn't remember him at all, not his rejection or the night they shared. Neither does she remember her name or that she's a werewolf. To her the growling Hayden is just a frightening, handsome as hell stranger.
Will Hayden win her back and make right on his mistakes? Will they regain a strong mate bond required to bring back her memories?
