by Michelle Torlot

A soulmate is supposed to love you forever. So what’s wrong with Ember?

Ember grew up in a sexist pack where women are valued only for cooking, cleaning, and bearing pups. But when her fated mate rejects her, she’s sent away to join a very different kind of pack.

Led by the powerful and brooding Alpha Damon Scopus, Ember’s new pack plunges her headfirst into a war she doesn’t understand, a new mate bond she never expected, and shocking revelations about her own identity. Has Ember finally found a place where she fits, or is she hurtling toward her own destruction?

Hated By My Mate

Hated By My Mate

by Nathalie Hooker

Alpha Wolfgang. He had the body of a god but the soul of the devil.

I should know. I was working at his birthday party the night I sensed my mate.

I was serving guests when suddenly my skin tingled. My heart pounded, and somehow I knew…

My destined mate was here. I turned to search for him. But when our eyes met, my heart stopped.

It was him. Alpha. Fucking. Wolfgang. And he looked furious.

He grabbed my face roughly, hatred in his icy eyes.

“Please, I know you want to reject me,” I trembled. ”Don’t worry. I’ll leave the pack.”

“You’re right,” he said, pressing his firm body against mine. “I don’t want you…”

“...But what makes you think I’ll let you leave me?”

Cold, commanding, and bound by ancient power, he cages her once again… but this time, something feels different. There’s danger in his gaze, yes—but also something deeper. As their bond begins to twist into something neither understands, Josette must choose: run again, or face the dark fire between them.

Infinity

Infinity

by Mikayla S

I met my mate as a child.

I was lost in the woods, and his calming voice guided me to safety without ever revealing himself.

Since then, he’s watched over me but never showed himself. I yearn to touch him, to hold him.

Yet still, he lurks in the shadows, never claiming me.

I wonder if there’s something wrong with me. Am I not good enough for him?

But then, when I turn 21, I’m attacked by rogues and left for dead. As I feel the life drain from my body, a creature appears on the edge of my blurry vision.

“Stay strong, little mate. You’re mine now.”

As the mate bond surges between us, I know he’s not a wolf.

He’s something older… Darker… Deadlier.

Who the hell is my mate?

And what will happen to me now?

As she cast a glance over her shoulder, her breath hitched. There he stood. The king.

“Mate.”

“Oh yeah? What?” My father snarled.

The Lycan looked straight at me.

“My mate.”

Cleo has lived her entire life without her wolf, and she’s accepted that she doesn’t have one. But when she meets her mate, a long-lost Lycan king, she feels an awakening that will change her life forever.

The Awakening Series

The Awakening Series

by L. T. Marshall

It was pain unlike anything I’d ever experienced.

My bones broke. From deep within, my wolf tore to the surface.

I lay there, shivering on the damp grass, still sore from my first-ever shift.

And then the voice I dreaded spoke in my mind.

Deep and sexy, with a hint of a Colombian accent.

The voice of the pack alpha.

“Mate.”

Orphaned in the Great War, Alora was destined for a hard life at the feet of her pack’s feared alpha, Colton Santos. But at her wolf’s awakening ceremony on her 18th birthday, she’s shocked to feel the mate bond for none other than the mysterious alpha himself. Now bound to Colton in a union the pack elders despise, Alora must ask herself: is finding her true mate worth the world of danger she’s awakened?
