Cammie LOVE, TRUST, FATE, AND A HAPPY EVER AFTER? Yeah, not something this girl believes in. My life has shown me that love is just another thing that holds you down. That you need to be there for yourself and fate can screw you over faster than a used car salesman. I wouldn't have survived my mother and her many men if it wasn't for my best friend, Gage. The only person I have ever trusted and even that took a while to do. I was alone in the world, no family, just me and Gage, until they showed up. Turns out I have a twin brother and my dad's alive, well f*ck me, and they've brought along a guy who I can't seem to stay away from. Turns out their all shifters, werewolves, whatever you want to call them, and I'm one as well. This strange pull I'm having to this new mysterious hot guy? He's not only my mate, he's my fated mate, and that alone could kill us both. Yeah, whoever said love can conquer all can kiss my a** MASONA MATE, LOVE, BEING VULNERALBLE, Yeah, sorry not this guy. I've seen the destruction it can do and won't let it pull me down. I've seen my friends and family in my pack become mated and it's become their downfall. Hell, it's the reason I became Alpha so young. So, wanting a mate and all that love bullshit, yeah, no thank you, don't want it, don't need it. Then my best friend Cameron finds his twin sister, and my wolf doesn't give me a choice, no matter how hard I try to fight it. She pulls me in, we're too much alike, neither one of us want this, but can't stay away. She's from one pack and I'm from another, it would be perfect, then we find out we're fated. Well, there goes my theory that being mated will be my downfall, because now we're screwed. A fated mate means being vulnerable in a way I've never been, and it could kill us both. I guess whoever asked the question 'Is love worth dying for?' was a fated mate, thanks dude.
