Wanted Mate of the Alpha

Wanted Mate of the Alpha

Sarah Tribus

"Behave, you know what happens otherwise," he threatened me before he opened the door, pushed me in, so that I landed on my knees and locked it again from the outside.

I swallowed the pain as I realized that he had really locked the door, but then Kalle's voice rang out "there you are at last".

Startled, I raised my head and saw him, with all the friendliness he had on his face before disappearing into the Nevada.

Serenity’s life is consumed by darkness after losing her mother and being dragged to a new city by her father, who has turned into a violent, drunken abuser. She dreams of escaping the torment, but just when she’s about to flee, an unexpected light enters her world. Her journey toward freedom takes an unexpected turn when she meets someone who offers her a glimpse of hope. But can she break free from the chains of her past, or will the darkness swallow her whole?

But the search for her soulmate is complicated by a temptation she can't ignore. With passion simmering just beneath the surface, Eliza faces a difficult choice: wait for the mate she’s destined for, or surrender to the intense desire pulling her in another direction. As time runs out, her fate hangs in the balance, and she must decide if true love is worth the wait, or if passion should rule her heart.

The Wolf Affliction

The Wolf Affliction

Suze Wilde

She screamed in fright, tripping over her own feet to get away from me.

“Goddess, you could wake the dead with that scream, never mind the neighborhood. What are you doing down here? Come to meet Warren?” I grabbed her arm and pulled her upright.

“I thought I was the crazy one. Now I think I’m the only sane one in this entire fucking town. I’m leaving!”

Jedson didn’t want Juno. He’d been rejected once before and vowed never to be that vulnerable again. Juno had no idea she would land in a remote area when she jumped into the boxcar to get away from her assailant. And now she was captive to the most handsome man she’d ever met, who sent such mixed signals and refused to give her back the pills she needed to combat her auditory hallucinations.

“You appear to be in my territory, little wolf.” He is exceedingly beautiful, but his expression chills me to the core.

“You’re coming home with me.” His eyes so mesmerizing, so powerful. He pulls me into him, pinning me against his chest, an arm tight around my throat.

“You will submit and obey or there will be punishments,” he says, kissing the side of my head. His scent reeks of power. “Who am I, little one? Say it,” he commands. His lips curl into a smile, confirming my fears. “That’s right,” he growls. “I am Alpha Loren.”
