Chapter 1
Love was not real. Fated mates are nothing but a fairytale.
All her life, Cliodora wanted nothing to do with a man. A mate. She wanted to stand on her own two feet, prove that she was worthy of being an Imperial Enforcer. She fought tooth and nail to receive her ranking, not allowing her father's reign to promote her own rank. She wanted to earn it. She wanted to protect her race from the fear of the unknown, tear down any beast or mundane that posed as a threat to her society. But Fate was a conniving bitch.
The people come first, love second.
Fenris devoted his life to learning the way of his people and being an ambassador to the peaceful agreement they had with the other factions. He was groomed from the time he was old enough to talk to be a man of the people, that love and a family would always come second to his work. He understood that, and after being named Heir to the Imperial Alpha's throne, he all but swore off on a chance of having a family. But Fate cared little about his wants.
Fate brought them together, but will that be enough to push the two stubborn beasts together?
The Imperials
