Defying the Alpha

As the Alpha's daughter, Hannah has her life planned out: she will be married to whoever is selected as the new Alpha when her father steps down. However, she is horrified when she finds out that the next Alpha is her childhood bully, Luke Butler. Hannah then finds herself entangled with a mysterious vampire businessman the night of this soul-crushing reveal. With duty calling and sexual tension around the corner, Hannah has a tough decision. Will she defy the Alpha? — “Hannah, you are now eighteen. The time has come for me to pick the new Alpha.” “And my new husband,” I add, translating what this announcement actually means. He doesn’t answer but instead gestures for me to turn around. I do, and as I catch sight of the young man who has entered the room, my heart stops. Behind me stands Luke Butler. My bully since forever. “I refuse him.” Defying the Alpha is created by Jody Tilly, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 31: Into the Forest

Hannah’s POV

I used to think the pits were deep within the secret forest, but as we passed my literal nightmare, I realized the pits were clearly just the beginning. The further in we go, the darker it seems to get. Along with the deep silence among our small group, I feel utterly alone.

I know how Luke is feeling though both of our parents were trying to protect us. There was a level of betrayal behind it as well. The fact they were discussing this among themselves only adds fuel to the fire, treating us even more like children.

Finding out about my mother still has me reeling, and I can hardly believe it’s real, but learning about Luke was just heartbreaking. Whatever mysteries in my past no longer seem as daunting compared to him.
