Alphas Unwilling Mate

Throughout her entire life, Madeline believed the traditional alpha-mate system to be flawed and limiting. This is why she left her initial pack in the countryside and sought a new one in the city - one where members simply trained together without the pressure of mating expectations. However, despite her attempts to escape, countless alphas relentlessly pursued her, insisting that they were her destined partner, even if she consistently rejected them. Escapes were her norm, but there was one fateful encounter she couldn't evade. She unwillingly bonded with a man she despised. Convinced that this marked the end, she chose to flee and carved out a life as the ruler of the hidden underworld. Things seemed relatively stable, until her supposed mate from the past returned, challenging her autonomy.
