    About this ebook

    Greyden James. The mate who walked away after one night together. The man who almost destroyed her life. Zenia Zierdan works hard to keep a tight rein on her depression and anxiety. Working for the alpha helps her maintain a purpose within the pack. But everything changes the moment she scents vanilla and cedar and comes face to face with the man who walked away.

    Greyden is confused why a strange woman smells exactly like his mate. When he discovers he’s been a victim of a black magic spell, he’d do anything to get his memories back.

    Only through the power of true love can they find a happy ever after. Even as they both come to terms with the guilt they harbor.

    I like writing about the very ordinary girl thrust into extrordinary circumstances, so my heroines will probably never be lawyers, doctors or corporate highrollers. I try to write characters who aren't cookie cutters and push myself to write complicated situations that I have no idea how to resolve, forcing me to think outside the box. I love to hear from readers so I’ve made it really easy to find me on Facebook or Twitter. To subscribe to my newsletter, please visit my website: www.writtenbutterfly.com

      FORGOTTEN MATE

      Sheridan Pack, 4

      Beth D. Carter

      Chapter One

      A cool morning breeze wrapped around Zenia as she left her tiny one-bedroom home, walking toward Main Street. She worked as the alpha’s admin assistant. Well, it was more like a receptionist position but that didn’t sound as important. Jericho Savidge ran a large construction company with projects in progress all over the State of Colorado. He was not only a powerful man, but a powerful alpha. She considered herself blessed to have landed the job. It had given her a sense of self-empowerment knowing she could stand on her two feet after years of battling depression. It had taken her a long time to get to this point, and she was grateful Jericho had taken a chance on her.

      People waved and greeted her, and she smiled, loving the tight-knit community. Her days fell into a routine, starting with the local coffee shop to grab a cup for her and one for Jericho. The barista behind the counter, Keegan, gave a little wave as she finished up with a customer.

      Thanks, Ms. Smyth, she said with a bright smile. Have a wonderful day.

      The little old lady, Ms. Smyth, waved before picking up her cup. She blew on the top as she turned to leave. When she spotted Zenia, she paused.

      Hello, Zenia, she said. When does that boss of yours get into the office?

      Well, today he has a morning meeting, she replied. But his schedule opens up after lunch to hear suggestions and grievances.

      Ms. Smyth gave a little harrumph before marching out. Keegan laughed and shook her head.

      That woman’s a menace, Keegan said with a roll of her eyes.

      She’s not so bad, Zenia stated, feeling the need to be more diplomatic. She represented the alpha, after all.

      You’re always good-hearted. The usual?

      Yes, please.

      The door behind her opened, allowing the cool breeze to flow in, and the scent of cedar and vanilla rolled over her senses. It confused her because the last time she’d encountered that scent it had belonged to…

      No, she couldn’t think his name. Couldn’t slip back into the memories of her past. Her therapist would be so disappointed.

      Why do you smell like my mate?

      The deep voice froze her in her tracks. It couldn’t be him. No. No, no, no. She had to be hallucinating because he could not be here in Sheridan. She sucked in her breath, sure she had to be imagining him. She didn’t want to look, didn’t want to acknowledge him, and yet she had to. Slowly, she turned and like a horror show, her nightmare stared at her in confusion. Greyden James. The mate who walked away after one night together. The man who almost destroyed her life.

      Well? he asked impatiently. Why do you smell like my mate?

      She opened her mouth, but nothing came out. Backing up until the counter halted her retreat, she kept shaking her head. As if that alone would get rid of him.

      Are you mute? Do you not understand the question?

      Hey, Keegan said loudly. She came around the counter to stand between her and him. Back off, buddy.

      She smells like my mate. I just want to know why.

      I … I… Zenia’s heart raced as she tried to draw air into her desperate lungs.

      Greyden tilted his head, studying her. Is she okay?

      Zenia shook her head. She was lightheaded, dizzy from lack of oxygen. Her legs gave out and she slowly crumpled, sliding down to sit.

      Zenia! Keegan shouted, rushing toward
