Luna Saffron's Rejected Alpha Mate

"Now reject your mate," Malik's repulsive voice demanded.
"I'm sorry, Mad, I have too, for our pack's safety." She said before the words I never expected to hear came from her mouth.
"I, Saffron Hernandez from The Nightfall Pack, reject you, Maddox Bishop, Alpha of The Nightfall Pack to be my Alpha and Fated Mate."
Her words instantly crushed my soul. A pain ripping through my body, beyond anything I could have ever described.
"COME ON DOLLFACE, BEFORE HE FINISHES THE JOB ON THE INNOCENT YOU BEGGED TO PROTECT!" Malik's voice hollered out, making Saffron close her eyes.
***
On Saffron's 18th birthday, she finds out that she is fated to none other than the Alpha of her pack. 24 year old Maddox Bishop, who had only been the Alpha for a short time when an enemy pack launched an all out war.
Malik, the 34 year old Alpha of The Reapers pack. A man who had no care for human life, pure evil in the flesh. One of the cruelest Alphas known to all. He loved killing, torture, and most of all power. He swore to call off his malicious attack on The Nightfall Pack in trade for one thing. Maddox's fated mate.
What will Saffron do when Maddox fights harder to win her back? Will she give in to the mate bond and accept her fated mate? Or will she stay by Malik's side to save her home pack from an all out war of mass destruction?
