Played By The Alpha

I hate him. I want him. He's my mate but he's such... An asshole. Never in a million years would I have suspected my mate to be this rigid, calculating alpha male millionaire bastard. But, here we are. I'll never give in to someone like him who thinks it's okay to reject me one day and change his mind the next. Someone who comes barreling through every one of my walls... Someone who makes me feel the way he does... The mate bond isn't reliable. It's not. He can't make me play his games. So why am I even giving him a chance? ~~~ Claire Lapis is a closeted artist who works for the prestigious Ash Golde of the new online empire xBUY. She's never met him, but she already knows she can't stand him or any of his ilk. Living paycheck to paycheck like she is, it's more than clear that people like her and people like him are a world apart. Fate didn't get the memo. After a chance meeting, Claire learns that Ash is none other than her one and only mate. But neither expected what they got. When he rejects her, her opinion of him solidifies, up until the moment he confesses his mistake. She knows she shouldn't, but when his every look makes her burn and beg to be nearer him, the only thing her inner wolf wants is to give him a chance. One wager after another keeps them close and learning each other's quirks, and maybe they aren't as different as they thought. But it's only a matter of time before they discover who will win, and who will be played. --- Obeying My Mate is Elizra Down's second novel-length romance and the latest installment in The Werewolf Alpha's Mate series.
