"I promise, I will never have feelings for you, and I definitely won't accept you as my mate," Connor declared to Hailey, his future wife. The marriage was his grandfather's wish, leaving him with no choice but to go through with it. From the very beginning, he had planned to end things with Hailey once he became the Alpha. It would be an embarrassment if his chosen mate turned out to be a simple country girl. Strangely, since Hailey's arrival, his fierce wolf side had become more controlled and even began communicating with him, which was前所未seen. However, his tumultuous past continued to fuel his insecurities and paranoia. Convinced she had ulterior motives, he relentlessly hurt her emotionally. It was too late when he realized, to his shock, that Hailey was the embodiment of kindness. She had decided to walk away from him for good, despite all the pain he had caused.
