Werewolves long for the day they meet their mates. For Zane and Alessandra that's not the case. Zane is in love with Alessandra's sister and Alessandra isn't looking for love. Can these stubborn wolves resist the mate bond?
They might deny the bond...

ZANE DE LUCA
Running in wolf form was the best escape for me. I needed to think clearly and it was nearly impossible with the hate and sadness I harbored for Isabel. Alessia's show messed with my mind and some fresh air was what I needed.
I want to love her, I do. The problem is I don't know how to. I've loved Isabel since we were teens. Then in a matter of days, everything changes. My future has been set in stone for so long that I can't even imagine it being different. We were going to get married and have kids. Hell, she even had her dress picked out for her luna ceremony.
Now my future consists of ruining Isabel Romano and I have no doubt I'll ruin Alessia in the process.
You would hurt our mate for some petty revenge?
It's a small price to pay for revenge.
Besides, Alessandra Romano is the perfect daughter and sister. Her loyalty to her family is fierce. She wouldn't mate with me, not if her sister's in love with me. I just have to make sure Isabel stays in love with me, which shouldn't be difficult. There's only one thing that woman truly loves. Power. It was a sad realization to come to especially when I had placed so much trust in her. Now I just feel used. Played.
Alessandra and I have always had two things in common. The love we share for Isabel and the hate we share for each other.
"I thought I would find you here."
I shift back into my human form. It was normal to see other pack members naked so I did not bother with my clothes.
"Hiro, what are you doing here?"
"What game are you playing Zane?"
"Excuse me?"
"I'm your beta, at least while Ricardo is gone."
"So? I'm not even Alpha yet."
"I can help you, Zane. I'm on your side."
He pauses, waiting for me to speak but I don't know what he wants me to say.
"I know Alessandra is your mate."
"What? That's not true, Isabel is my mate."
Now, this was the tricky part. I had a plan and it would only work if everyone thought Isabel was my mate. Most of the time when a person finds their mate they are quite vocal about it the second it happens. I was definitely ignoring Isabel at her birthday party so hopefully, they just chalk it up to the birth time being wrong.
"If she was your mate, she wouldn't have cheated."
