The Beta and his mate

Eva Smith sighed as the bus screeched to a stop. Looking out the window, she saw people waiting for their loved ones. She knew she was not going to be as lucky as them. Nobody would be waiting for her since nobody had wanted to tell since her mother had died in the accident her drug-addicted stepfather had caused.

That is how she had come to find herself back in the quiet town of Newpark.
