Prologue

Zinnia has always known fear to be in her life. She was kidnapped from her pack at the age of three. She's grown up as a slave and a tool for her kidnappers. Once she thought she was going to be saved but that all ended when she realized that the place they took her after being rescued was even worse than before. At least at her old "home" (notice the quotes there) she was only beaten but at the new place they raped her, mentally, and physically abused her. She was always kept on wolfs bane so she couldn't shift, and because of that her growth was stunted and she couldn't heal as well as she should. But as she got older her kidnappers realized that they would have to use more and she was given the wolfs bane nearly every morning and night. Then after a few years she turned 18 and finally shifted into a wolf and ran a away. She ran for days and days before she finally stopped and collapsed from exhaustion. When she finally woke up again she saw an alpha wolf and tried to run but then realized that he was her mate.
