Bloody Alpha

Bloody Alpha

Jeay S Raven

Jade: I’m an omega, the lowest ranked member of the werewolf community. I’ve learned to keep my head down and stay out of the way, beaten and broken by life. I’m as plain and bland as they come, with nothing to set me apart from the rest. I don’t dream of finding my mate. Real life is nothing like a fairytale after all. All I want to do now is keep away from dominant males. But then he comes, shattering all my walls.

Alaric: There’s an ache that gnaws at me and nothing can ever numb it. My father sent me on this tour of diplomacy in hopes that it would temper my hotheaded ways and perhaps lead me to my destined mate, who would soften my heart. But I’m the Bloody Alpha, feared and respected by all, and no one can change me. That is, until I meet her.

Easier said than done. Damion plays to win, and Emily’s heart is the prize. Trouble is, she’s not playing by his rules anymore. Love, obsession, or something even more dangerous? It all depends on who breaks first.
