Second Chance

by M. Syrah

"You want to be my Luna and bear my pups? We'll see if you have what it takes." I growled low facing a very naked and determined Alison. She seemed to have made up her mind and she looked as fierce in my bedroom as she looked on the battlefield. Could her wolf make mine surrender? We were about to find out.

Alison, a fierce warrior who’s survived deep loss, has set her sights on becoming Luna of her pack, a role she’s determined to claim beside the elusive Alpha Sean. Scarred by the mysterious death of his own mate, Sean has spent years avoiding entanglements, but Alison’s strength and loyalty have begun to crack his defenses. Under the Blood Moon’s primal call, they’re both pushed to confront their deepest instincts and desires. As Alison’s unyielding passion collides with Sean’s guarded resolve, their struggle becomes as intense as any battle, and only one will emerge victorious in this test of heart and dominance.

Then one moment shatters everything.

And when her world turns dark and the consequences get real, he doesn’t disappear. He stays. He fights. He proves he doesn’t want a win.

He wants her.
