Tatiana's wolf was protesting the idea of rejecting Maddox, but Tatiana pushed the beast back. This was not the time to make decisions based on emotions that sprouted because she met a guy during one of her unplanned visits.
The unpleasant experience made Tatiana re-evaluate her opinion about the mate bond.
Tatiana was twenty-four years old independent woman with a solid head on her shoulders who saw a lot of the world, and not an inexperienced teenager from a small town who gets easily carried away by the flashy appearance of a local bad boy.

Money? Fame? Status? Tatiana didn't care if Maddox had those because she had her own, and him being an Alpha only complicated things.
