The Mating Games

He said he wanted me, but in the end, he rejected me.
The Mating Games are over and so is my relationship with Ares Raith. He chose my enemy, that despicable liar and fame whore, Laurel. Yet, he claims he did it to protect me, but how could he?
Laurel Grimhowl is the worse type of shifter: manipulative, shallow, vindictive. How can Ares stand to be with her, especially when the blatant attacks on weaker shifter families begin and she threatens to strip away my Supreme Alpha title?
I can't let Laurel and William Raith destroy our traditions and peace. Whatever they're planning spells disasters for the few remaining packs. Moreover, the illness affecting both vampires and shifters is still a threat. Maybe Ares and I, along with the Dark Match, hold the answer.
But to be able to stop them, I must learn to control my Supreme Alpha powers and doing that may very well be my end.
If that's the case, so be it. I'm willing to sacrifice for what is right.
