The Alphas of North Forest

The Alphas of North Forest

Laila Callaway

Twins Emmanuel and Ezekiel knew from a young age that they would become Alphas one day. Through their research, they find a pack desperate for new leadership. As soon as they are of age, they challenge the pack’s Alpha. The brothers win, but it comes at a price: they end up killing the Alpha, and his son runs off and cannot be found. Years later, Em and Ez are now college professors, and everything in their life has fallen into place, except for one thing: they haven’t met their mate yet. And they know they are destined to share one. Then they meet Rosemary Moore. A shifter whose parents have already passed, Rose has been raised by her religious, disapproving, human grandmother. Discovering she has been fated to two mates is not something she can easily reconcile thanks to her upbringing. It’s up to the twins to convince her that their fated match is not a sin and that they will protect her at all costs. Can they convince Rosemary to let them in? And can they really protect her when the previous Alpha’s son is still out there, plotting revenge?

Then her new neighbor shows up with a grin that is far too warm and a confidence that rattles her steady stride. Every encounter knocks her a little off balance, and his teasing spark feels annoyingly good. He sees the shadows she carries, yet he steps closer instead of backing away. As their playful clashes grow into something softer, Vanessa feels the light tugging at her edges. Letting him in might be messy, risky, and wildly inconvenient… but it also might be the first thing that feels right in a long time.

M. Wolf

“Curtsy again and I’ll make you dance with me.” Emperor Bastian is supposed to pick a bride like he’s choosing dessert. Instead, he slips into the garden and catches a woman in emerald silk trying to disappear. Before the romance meddles, Julia Weismar is doing her best to be invisible at a royal ball while her perfect sister gets paraded as The Obvious Choice. Then the emperor shows up in the roses, takes Julia’s hand like he owns it, and looks offended that she’s breathing without his permission (rude… and annoyingly hot). He calls her “interesting” like it’s a threat, asks for a dance like it’s a command, and you’ll be sitting there thinking, girl, run… while also begging her not to. A footman clears his throat. “His Imperial Majesty requests Lady Julia Weismar for the next waltz.”
