His infuriating, sexy-as-hell next door neighbor happens to be the Alpha of the West River pack. Walker can’t stop thinking about Butch, but would anyone want second-hand goods?

Butch never thought there was a submissive wolf capable of tying him down, but Walker proves him wrong on all accounts. An Alpha’s not willing to take no for an answer and Butch is not backing down. Walker will be his mate and it's time he show the Omega happily-ever-after is in the cards for both of them.

      HIS BY CHOICE

      Determined Mates, 3

      Angelique Voisen

      Copyright © 2017

      Prologue

      Six Months Ago

      I’m so sorry for your loss, Walker.

      Terry was the best.

      Call me if you need someone to talk to, a shoulder to cry on.

      Meaningless words.

      Walker slumped in his seat, staring at the body of his dead mate across from him and wondered if he should feel angry or relieved. He was born an Omega wolf, which meant his parents and pack arranged his mating and marriage to Terry ever since he was a kid. Walker had never had a choice in the matter, never wondered how his life would be like if he had the ability to make his own decisions—until now.

      He rehashed the events of the last twenty-four hours in his head. Terry had been on a plane to a business meeting in Boston when his plane crashed, the accident so sudden, so unexpected that even a powerful shifter like Terry couldn’t heal from it. Since then, everything had fallen apart. Walker couldn’t comprehend the fact Terry just died although his wolf certainly felt the heat.

      As mates, his wolf was connected to Terry’s, although their marriage was one of business and convenience. His parents and pack had picked Terry, because of Terry’s ties to the Jade Mountain pack. What would happen to that alliance, Walker really didn’t give a damn.

      Free, he whispered to the now empty space.

      Cold seeped past his rented suit, his skin. The word sounded odd on his tongue, foreign. Omegas in his pack were valued when they were virgins, but he was no longer one, and in his two years of marriage to Terry, he’d never conceived a child. In other words, not only was he second-hand goods, he was also barren.

      Other Omegas in his pack who were raised to believe they had to rely on their stronger, dominant males would have despaired, but not Walker. He always disagreed with the beliefs of his backward pack, that claimed Omegas needed to be protected, kept safe, a prisoner in their own homes. Walker had always found ways to stretch his leash. After high school, he took up online courses, got a degree in graphic design and knew he could sustain himself on freelance work.

      He rose unsteadily to his feet and approached Terry’s coffin. It was closed, given there weren’t enough pieces of Terry to put back together. Walker laid a hand on the wood, which felt cool to the touch.

      His family and pack members thought he was shocked into silence, so they’d made all the funeral arrangements. Terry’s family helped. They gave him the standard condolences although Terry’s older brother Derek hadn’t been too subtle in hinting if Walker needed company, all Walker needed to do was give him a call.

      Derek and any other dominant males in the pack had given him the same hints, but he knew exactly what they wanted. An Omega like him, whose mate died, was of no use to the pack, and he didn’t plan on being anyone’s fuck toy, only good for hook-ups.

      Walker returned his attention to Terry’s coffin. We made it work somehow, he said, although he knew the dead probably didn’t give a damn about the living. While the chemistry between Terry and him had been nonexistent, they’d eventually become friends.

      Walker touched the mate mark on his neck, already fading fast. Because he couldn’t tell anyone else his plans, he talked to his dead husband.

      I’ve decided, he told Terry. I’m leaving the pack. They’ll look for me at first, but they’ll stop eventually because it’ll be a waste of resources. I’m not worth anything to anyone anymore, but that’s a good thing. I think I want to move into a small town for a change. Be someone else.

      He rubbed a tear that dribbled down his cheek, unsure why he was crying. Terry had been a decent husband in the end, although they’d had their share of fights. Loneliness twisted Walker’s insides, and like a dam burst open, hot tears continued to fall. Among his pack and family, he hadn’t shed a tear. Some even congratulated him for being strong while others looked at his lack of emotions with disapproval.

      The opinions of others no longer mattered, not in his new life. Silently, he bade farewell to Terry, unsure if he would see Terry again. He rubbed at his eyes and finally left, closing the door gently behind him.

      Werewolves mated for life, but that fact extended to couples who were badly in love with each other. He’d seen pairings like that in the pack before, how the remaining shifter soon followed after his or her half. That hadn’t been the case with him. Walker exited the funeral home and headed straight to the car park. He had one overnight bag, his wallet, phone, bank book and cards. That was all.

      Most of his belongings were back at the apartment Terry and he had shared, but he no longer needed them, not where he was going anyway. He opened up the GPS in his phone and randomly decided on a small town he could start his life in.

      River West, he said, pointing a finger at his screen.

      This chapter of his life was over, but the next chapter remained to be written.

      Chapter One

      There it was again, the incessant noisy drilling that didn’t do Butch Cassidy’s supernatural hearing any favors. However, Butch’s main gripe was the fact his new next-door neighbor seemed to have no clue on how to use a damn drill properly. He gritted his teeth.

      For fuck’s sake, Butch was Alpha of the River West pack and people expected civilized behavior from him. He should file a complaint to the landowner, but his next-door neighbor had ruffled his fur the moment the asshole moved in three days ago.

      A week had passed since full moon season, aka mating season for shifters, but Butch, his Beta, Leon, and other pack enforcers were still dealing with the outcome. Being horny during
