Bound to the Alpha Commander

I was supposed to be the perfect daughter.

Smile at the rich men my mother chose.

Quit my job as a trauma nurse when one of them finally decided I was worth marrying.

Pretend love did not matter as long as the groom had money, status, and a family name my mother could show off.

Then a gunman broke into my hospital.

I caught him before he could finish what he came to do, and he took me hostage with a pistol pressed to my head.

When he shoved me over the edge of a stairwell, I thought I was going to die.

But Alonso came after me.

The mysterious military commander with no rank on his uniform and an entire room terrified to breathe around him threw himself down the stairs and wrapped his body around mine, taking the concrete with his own back so I would survive.

He was dangerous.

Dominant.

A Wolf from a world I was never supposed to belong to.

I was Wolfless. Ordinary. Nobody.

So why did he look at me like I was the only thing he had been searching for?

Why did he send white roses to my car?

Why did his voice make my body obey before my mind could fight back?

And why did he offer me the one escape my family could never control?

"Marry me," Alonso said. "I protect what is mine."

It was not a normal marriage.

It was a Fated Mate Binding Agreement, a supernatural contract that would place me under his Pack's protection and tie my fate to the most dangerous Alpha I had ever met.

I should have said no.

Instead, I signed.

The next morning, I walked into my parents' house, looked my mother in the eye, and calmly said the one thing she could never undo.

"I got married yesterday."
