Against the Bounds of Fate

Ash Vujisic seemed to have it all. The looks, the brains, money... He was living the dream. Especially since he comes from a prestigious family of alphas.

Surely he is an alpha as well. Right?

Wrong.

His life went from cloud nine to the very pits of hell the first time he experienced his heat. He couldn't believe it back then, nor now in the present.

Red Claremont is his distant cousin from a faction further down the family hierarchy. They were never close. Until the one day when they met under a moonlit night, when the scent of fragrant flowers blossomed and stung their noses.

It surely couldn't... No... It's impossible...

Ash knew it from the way their eyes met, the way the electricity tingled in the air, sending shivers down his spine. His heart trembled. This has to be a lie. Red... is his fated partner... But if this were so... what about his own heart? He had loved someone else for all these years... How could the love he felt for that person vanish just like that?

That night, as the cries of pleasure rang out, engulfed by the breeze and rustle of leaves... Ash made a promise to himself. No matter what, he had to deny this fate that was forced upon him. There was no other way.
