She didn't like them. She'd have stayed away from them if she could but her past hold her captive.

He's always wanted a mate and he's finally found her.... but why isn't he with her yet?

"You're mine, Althea."
His voice was low, dangerous, undeniable.
Althea's heart pounded as she took a step back, shaking her head. "No. You're wrong. I can't be—"
Kaden's silver eyes burned into hers, the bond between them pulsing like a living thing. "You feel it too. Don't lie to me."
She did. Goddess, she did. But she couldn't accept it. Not when she had spent her entire life being told she was nothing.
No one ever truly saw her.
Althea was nothing more than a shadow—scarred, limping, and unwanted. Mocked by her stepsisters, ignored by her father, and blamed for her mother's death, she spent years enduring cruelty in silence. In a pack that worshipped strength, she was the weakest link, an outcast forced to serve those who despised her.
Until he arrived.
Alpha Kaden—ruthless, powerful, and dangerously magnetic. He came searching for his fated mate, and it should have never been her. Yet, the moment his piercing silver eyes met hers, the bond snapped into place, undeniable and unbreakable. Against her father's protests and her sisters' fury, Kaden chooses Althea, claiming what fate had written in the stars.
But being chosen doesn't mean being safe.
Thrown into Kaden's intoxicating world, Althea is faced with new dangers—jealous rivals, hidden enemies, and the terrifying truth about herself. Her mate is more than the cold, commanding Alpha he seems—he carries secrets darker than the night. As passion ignites between them, Althea must decide: remain the scared, broken girl she's always been or step into the powerful woman she was destined to become. Fate may have chosen them, but will it be enough to conquer the dangers and demons that stand in their way?

In front of the moon goddess, I reject you Alpha Conroy, a fucking murdering scumbag as my mate!” He, Alpha King Conroy was rejected by a human- Amelia Whittaker.

Amelia is a human by birth and assassin by occupation. Amelia witnessed the death of her parents at a very young age. She watched in horror how shifters who ruled their human world ripped them into shreds and she vowed to get revenge against the wolves that killed her parents.

During her entire life after being discovered by a Human Assassin’s Leader and trained in his Faction, all she wanted to do was to take the revenge by killing Alpha king Lucas Conroy, the Lycan king of the Valerian hybrid werewolves.

When it discovered that a pharmaceutical company has been producing super-soldiers, what to do with them becomes a major problem.

The all-male Lycan soldiers have no life-skills, just life-taking skills, and their behaviour walks a fine line between man and beast.

Many fear that their release would be dangerous for humans and want them destroyed.

As the Lycan male's adjust to their new freedoms, a satellite site is located with a small number of Lycan females, and a human falls pregnant naturally to a Lycan male dispersing the theory that the Lycans have been altered into sterility.

Freedom is more than a life without cages.

Lycan King Alder Volcik had been yearning for his mate for over a century. Little did he know that his search would lead him to a pack he was to visit due to the Luna challenged. There, he discovered his mate, the same Luna who had lost the challenge and was rejected by her Alpha mate.

Cindy Mills is the daughter of a billionaire who was betrayed by her boyfriend and best friend, who killed her afterward. But it did not end there. She was reborn in the body of the lost Luna, Clover, who died because of rejection.

As Alder grapples with Clover's reluctance to accept him, he also faces the reality of her losing her title to another she-wolf. Meanwhile, Cindy, still reeling from the betrayal of her ex-boyfriend and best friend, is uncertain about her future. How will these intertwined fates unfold?

As Alder tries to get Clover's trust, they will both discover Cindy's true identity. She, on the other hand, will do everything to get her revenge on her ex-boyfriend and best friend who killed her and her father.

Once Cindy accepts Alder, will she give up herself and live as Clover for the rest of her life?

"To tempt me," he growls, his eyes smoldering with desire.

I tilt his head down, rising up on my toes and pressing my lips to his. The moment our lips meet, I feel a jolt of pleasure shoots through me.

"You're an omega. This was never going to work."
He believed that. She made sure it was the last time anyone ever said it to her.

Death is the price of loving the wrong wolf.

In Silverpine, the law is clear. An Alpha does not mate an omega. The punishment is swift and final.

Freda Anderson learned that truth under the Harvest Moon. One reckless night. One impossible bond. One Alpha who swore he would fight for her, then stood before his pack and called her a mistake.

She walked away with nothing but her pride and a secret growing inside her.

Five years later, she is no longer the broken omega they cast aside.

Now she is Freda Anders. Mediator. Negotiator. The woman powerful packs call when war is at their door. She steps into impossible rooms and walks out with signed agreements. She built herself into someone no one can silence. No one can shame. No one can discard.

She just never expected Silverpine to be the client.

A territorial dispute threatens to drag the pack into open bloodshed. Desperate, they reach beyond their borders for the best in the business. They do not know who she used to be. They do not know what she carries with her.

They do not know that the quiet boy at her side has the Alpha’s golden eyes.

And Lucian does not know that the child staring back at him carries his blood.

Five years of silence. Five years of secrets. Five years of a bond that refused to break.

The truth is coming home.

And this time, Freda is not the girl he rejected.

She is the reckoning.

For three years, I hid my scent from the Alpha who let my family be slaughtered, until he showed up at my door, bleeding and claiming I was his mate.

I changed my name to Lila. I worked double shifts at a diner. I buried my wolf so deep I thought she was dead. But tonight, Kieran, the Alpha of Shadow Moon, stood in my alley. “You’re my mate, Lila. And I’m not walking away without you.”

I laughed bitterly. “You think I’d follow an alpha? After your pack let my family die?”

Before he could answer, a giant black rogue wolf smashed through my door, jaws snapping for my throat. Kieran didn’t hesitate. He shifted mid-air, taking a brutal slash to his flank that sprayed hot blood across my face. They rolled on the floor, claws tearing flesh, bones snapping.

Seeing him bleed for me broke the lock on my soul. My wolf tore free. Bones cracked, skin burned, and I shifted for the first time in years, sinking my teeth into the rogue’s arm.

We killed them, but Kieran was dying, his chest heaving, his human form naked and shredded on my floor. I crawled to him, my own naked body trembling.

“You are bleeding,” I whispered, hating how much my chest ached for him.
“So are you,” he rasped, his bloody fingers gently touching my ribs.

We thought the fight was over. But then the pack Enforcers arrived, swords drawn, demanding the Alpha hand me over to be executed.

He is the Prince of the Royal Pack,a wolf in his human form. His purpose of arriving into the small town is to find his human mate. A mate he is not so eager to see,but being bound by his duties to his father and his pack he gets ready to take her.

What his not ready to face is the feeling that hit him when he found his mate.

Carmela is just a simple girl and saving for her college is the most important thing in her mind. When suddenly one day she was kidnapped! And her abductor was the most handsome man she had ever laid her eyes on.

His golden eyes devour her,his chiseled face she could just stare for the whole day. And when she had a glimpse of his six pack abs Carmela would have lost it. But what's up with all the growling and the whispers of the word "mate" is?

"Do you want to be ravished?" His voice was a low growl in my ear, igniting a fire within me. I writhed beneath him, my body aching for his touch. He teased me relentlessly, his fingers sliding over my sensitive breasts and delving between my thighs. Every touch sent waves of pleasure through me, leaving me gasping for more.

"Don't stop," I begged, my voice a husky whisper. The mix of pleasure and pain was almost too much to bear, but I craved it all the same.

"Then let me have you," he said gently, pulling me against his hard, muscled body. I surrendered completely, lost in the throes of passion. Our bodies moved together in a frenzy of desire, each touch driving us both closer to the edge.

I knew that this night would be unforgettable, that I would never forget the way he made me feel - wild, free, and utterly consumed by our shared lust.

EXCERPT
"Little mouse, the next time I have to repeat something to you, I'll have to take you over my knee"; I shuddered. The thought of him taking me over his knee made me hot for some unknown reason. I sat carefully on his laps, my legs to the side. He turned me so I straddled him.
He caressed my sides and leaned into my neck. He sucked on the side of my neck and I tilted my head to give him better access. He scraped my neck gently and I moaned. I felt super sensitive all over my body.
"My king";

I just need to get through the next few hours, but then, what hell will await me?
"Thank you. Is it time?" I don't miss the sudden dullness in his eyes, the slight slump of his shoulders. He seems disappointed, but that can't be.
He nods and holds his arm out for me. I take it and allow him to lead me out. The closer we get to the ceremony, the more my nerves start to affect me. I'm nervous as shit, and if it weren't for the hold my father has on me, I think I'd become a puddle of human goo.
We stop in front of double doors, and I can barely breathe. Just beyond those doors is the carpeted aisle that will lead me to my future. It will lead me to a man I've never met and a future that's uncertain. I don't know if I'm ready for the unknown, but I can't turn back now. I have to do this for the health of my mother. I take a deep breath as the doors open, and I'm staring at a sea of people. I swear I don't know anyone here. I let the breath out, and the scent of freshly cut grass hits me out of nowhere. Holy shit, I think my mate's in there.


I'm his best man, not that it means much. Nathaniel stands next to me, facing the double doors. "I'm sorry for earlier. You're right, as always." I shake my head and place a hand on his shoulder.
"It's nothing. We are in a difficult situation, but we have to make the best of it." He nods. "So have you met her?" Nathaniel shakes his head.
-I'm anxious.-
-I am, too, Bruno. We just need to get through this ceremony.- Bruno shakes his head and retreats to the back of my mind. Nathaniel sighs and stands up straight.
"Let's do this." I nod, and we wait for the ceremony to take off.
It doesn't take long for the music to pick up in volume. The double door opens, and my breath leaves my body. Bruno is wreaking havoc in my mind, and it's getting hard for me to stay on my feet. I'd lost hope for this day, and I never thought it would happen like this. -MATE!
