Mated To An Enemy

“Duty before heart,” Ashleigh replied firmly. “What is that supposed to mean?” “It means I will do my job. But Caleb is just my duty, you are my heart.” *** Two men, two distinct feelings of attraction and trust. Ashleigh struggles to understand the feelings in her heart. Torn between the man she has loved for the past two years and the cold Alpha of an enemy pack, can Ashleigh figure out which of these men she truly wants to be mated to? Does she really have a choice? She is the daughter of Alpha Wyatt of Winter, the largest of the four Werewolf Packs. For two years she has eagerly awaited her eighteenth birthday so she can finally be married and mated to her love, Granger. But just before that magical day she runs into a significant problem: she finds herself bonded to another wolf. Her fated bond happens to be Alpha Caleb of Summer, the man whose father was supposedly murdered by one of her own. As if that wasn’t enough, every pack is suddenly reporting attacks from rogue wolves. Now Ashleigh is faced not only with a war in her heart, but one in real life. Will they be able to work together, putting aside all their heart ache and pain to keep their packs safe from the enemy that threatens them all? Or will this love eventually become their downfall? **Note from the author** 1. This is a slow burn for FL and ML 2. Trigger warnings all around. Abuse, trauma, gaslighting and manipulation. These themes are present all throughout the book in different ways. 3. This book is not just about the FL and ML, the cast of characters and side characters are full of rich backstories and their own chapters that play into the central plot of the story. 4. FL is young, she is flawed and she WILL piss you off. We all need time and experience to grow up. Join my discord server:

Half-Truths and Misdirection

Ashleigh was shocked and confused. She had no idea Alice had trained wolves to interact directly with humans. All this time, she thought that she had been the one to bring Alice back, that she knew exactly what was going on, but really, she had no idea.

“You and Axel lied to me,” Ashleigh said quietly.

Alice shook her head.

“No,” she said. “He told you I returned to work, as you suggested. And I did, just not in the way you suggested.”

Ashleigh rolled her eyes.

“More half-truths and misdirection,” she sighed.

“Half-truth and misdirection are all you’ve ever expected of me,” Alice smiled. “All you were ever willing to believe.”

Ashleigh looked at Alice and saw the smile, but she also saw the slight disappointment in it. She swallowed and nodded.

“Fair point,” she said softly.

Ashleigh took a deep breath and sat back on the couch. She had learned far more than she expected today.

“Maybe it’s time we start over,” she said softly. “A clean slate.”
