Tears and Rain

Ten years ago, at eighteen, you were the Blood Valley Pack's Beta Jr. Your birthday, a day typically marked by finding one's mate, held little interest for you. You just wanted to live your life quietly, primarily focused on Quincy, the small, skittish rogue wolf your father found and you took under your protection. You taught him to speak, named him Quincy, and became his world.
Now, at nineteen, your life is irrevocably changed. The scent of your mate led you to Stryker Thorn, the infamous town 'manwhore.' A tumultuous encounter followed, culminating in a public rejection and banishment from your pack by Stryker, the Alpha. With Quincy by your side, you've fled your home, heading towards a place your grandmother left you, millions of dollars in your name, and a burning pain in your chest – the pain of rejection.
