About the Author
TY Book 2 in The Boundarylands Omegaverse Series
She was left for dead, but Mia wasn’t truly lost until her Alpha found her.
No woman willingly travels to the Boundarylands.
It’s where they are—the Alphas.
They keep to themselves in the wilderness, and beta civilization knows to keep its distance. Especially beta women…for fear they may not be a beta after all.
The only way to know your true nature is to feel the touch of an Alpha. Omegas may be rare, but every woman knows their fates are hellish—held captive, broken, mated, knotted, and bred.
Injured and abandoned in the heart of the Boundarylands, Mia knows her chances of making it back to civilization alive are slim. Still, she has to try. But when a massive Alpha captures her first, she can’t stop the desire she feels for him.
Mia has always been a survivor, but not even she can fight the overwhelming hunger surging through her, or the need to be his in every possible way.
Chapter One
"Dustin, this isn't funny."
Panic constricted Mia Baird's throat. Her voice came out so high and shrill, she barely recognized the sound. "You have to stop this. Tell Josh to turn the car around. Now."
Her lanky, blond boyfriend didn't react to her words. No surprise. Dustin's expression and posture hadn't changed in the last forty minutes. No matter how she screamed and pleaded, he stayed silent, his mouth slack, his body loosely draped against the backseat of his best friend's BMW, staring vacantly out the window.
Mia had to find a way to get through to him. This stupid joke had gone way too far. She grabbed on to his shoulders and shook him hard.
"Dustin!"
Thankfully, the violent physical contact broke through Dustin's stupor. His glassy eyes shifted away from the dark landscape blurring past his window and over to her face. Mia's stomach twisted as he let out a breath that reeked of tequila and stale cigarettes.
Dear God, how much did he drink tonight? What other substances had he taken when she wasn't looking?
"Dustin, please," Mia tried again, hoping more than believing that she was getting through to her boyfriend.
Well, her ex-boyfriend now, because you better believe the first thing she was going to do once she was back in safe territory was dump his sorry ass.
Of course, she'd have to live that long first.
"Shut her up, man," a slurred voice shouted from the front seat.
Mia swiveled her head to glare at the driver. The bastard's reflection shot her a cruel smile back in the rear-view mirror.
She didn't need to waste her time with him. He was past redemption. Her only chance at this point lay with Dustin.
And, it looked like she might finally be getting through.
Hope bloomed in Mia's chest as the blurry look in Dustin's eyes started to clear. She prayed that meant he was coming out of his drug-filled haze.
Unfortunately, that hope didn't last long.
Dustin grabbed her arm, his fingernails biting brutally into her skin. "You heard Josh," he snarled, the words tangling together in his mouth. "Shut up."
Mia tried her best to shake free from his grasp, but Dustin held tight. He might have been high as hell, but he was still strong.
"Dustin, you don't have to this," Mia tried again. Maybe now that he was looking into her eyes, he could see reason. "It's crazy. Don't you know what will happen once my father—"
A loud smack resounded through the car. Mia registered the sound before she felt the pain. A second later, a familiar stinging burn spread across her cheek. She clasped her hand over her face to cover the mark she knew Dustin's palm had left behind.
Holy shit.
He'd hit her. She'd been hit plenty of times before, but never by Dustin. They'd only been a couple for five months, but she wanted to believe he was different.
Stupid her.
Mia knew only too well that if he was angry enough to slap her, then he was willing to do a whole lot worse.
New fear swept through Mia, harsh and biting like a winter wind. Deep down, she'd been holding out hope that this was all a big joke. A cruel and terrible one, sure, but she had convinced herself that at some point Dustin and Josh were going to decide they'd proved their point and turn the car around.
Now, Mia knew for certain that wasn't going to happen.
"This is what you get." Josh chuckled gleefully behind the wheel. "You should have thought about the consequences before you started kissing random guys like a little slut."
"Lil' slut," Dustin repeated, his drunken mouth hopelessly slurring the words.
But Mia hadn't kissed anyone. The guy in the concert crowd had grabbed her. He'd kissed her. Assaulted her, really. Mia had squirmed and flailed and tried to get away—but apparently not hard enough to satisfy Dustin.
Not that any of this was Dustin's idea. Her shithead of a boyfriend was far too drug-addled to put together a coherent plan right now.
This was all Josh.
Even now, she could see the anger in his eyes in the rear-view mirror, his burning need for revenge.
Mia closed her eyes. This couldn't be happening. She couldn't be trapped in the backseat of a car while two drunk frat boys drove her deep into the heart of the Boundarylands.
She wasn't even supposed to be here. She should have been back in her dorm, studying for midterms. That was where everyone thought she was—her parents, her professors, her friends.
But instead, she'd let Dustin talk her into driving all the way up the California coast with him and Josh to go to Frontier Fest, the biggest off-the-grid concert festival in the west.
Her father would kill her if he found out where she'd gone. The festival was held in the furthest northern reaches of California civilization, only five miles from the Boundarylands border. It was billed as a three-day
