Chapter: Chapter 147She was getting upset, and he truly didn’t know what to do. His wolf was pacing, ready to claim her, to bite her, and make her belong to him.“I care about you, Maya. Fuck, I’m in love with you, but there is shit you don’t know. Shit I’ve not told you about, and I can’t.”Letting her go, Zion ran fingers through his hair, trying to bring some control to his chaotic world. His wolf demanded release, and Zion was so desperate to claim her that he couldn’t keep control of himself. He didn’t know what to do, and so he panicked.“Run,” he said, yelling the word so that she’d be afraid enough to run.“No. I’m not running away from you.”“Damn, Maya, I’m dangerous. Run!”He bent over as his wolf pounced at him. The thin thread of control he held snapped. When he looked back at Maya, his eyes were different. He was starting to change, and no matter what he did, he couldn’t stop it.“Zion? What’s going on? What’s happening?” She wasn’t running away, but he scented her fear. All of his senses w

Chapter: Chapter 146Christmas passed without much commotion. Zion found it incredibly hard to stay away from her for the entire day. He spent as much time with her as possible, but there was no way for him to invade her family on the big day. His own pack had a special gathering, taking a run before all of them sat down to a large meal that they shared within the street. The only people who lived on the street near the forest were packed. No one stopped by to talk to any of them.When night fell he spent the night in her bed. Since Maya had fallen ill, he’d not slept in his own bed. The only bed he wanted to be inside was Maya’s. His wolf couldn’t handle not having her in his arms. His parents had to guard him when he did turn as his wolf wanted to go hunting.He wanted to claim Maya. That need to have, to possess was only getting stronger as the time passed. They spent New Year at his folks’ home as hers were working. He didn’t mind them working. Zion got to spend a lot more time with her.The best mome

Chapter: Chapter 145Being escorted from one class to another was an entirely new experience for Maya. She wasn’t used to having anyone care enough that she got from one part of school to another. What she hated was the astonished looks from their peers. There was no way she could call them her friends. Not one person was convinced about her and Zion being together. In truth, she didn’t really believe it herself.Cheryl stopped behind her when the bell for the lunch break went off.“You don’t think he’s really dating you, do you?”She ignored Cheryl as she gathered up her books. Packing them away in her bag, she waited until the last possible moment before she had to look at Cheryl.“You do? That is so fucking sad. You’re fat and ugly. Zion would never fall for anyone like you.”Putting her bag on her shoulder, she started toward the door.“I’m talking to you, bitch.”Cheryl gripped her arm and shoved her forcefully. Hitting the table, Maya crashed to the floor.Pain slammed through her and shocked as Zio

Chapter: Chapter 144Monday morning Zion was waiting outside of Maya’s home ready to take her to school. When he woke up he spent an hour simply watching her sleep. He loved having Maya in his arms. She was so beautiful, open, loving, caring, and he never wanted to let her go. His parents knew where he went at night, and neither one had a problem with him spending time with his mate.He was in love with her. Accepting his feelings with regards to her had settled his wolf. There was no worry of his wolf slamming out and hurting Maya, which scared him more.Maya ran down the steps of her house toward him, smiling as she opened the door.“Morning. I didn’t mind going to school and meeting up with you there.”Today he was going to show everyone who she belonged to. He wasn’t going to keep their relationship a secret. Over the last few months he’d heard the doubts from everyone around them. They thought he had a joke or a prank in the works that would hurt her. He hated the vultures for thinking the worst, but

Chapter: Chapter 143Her heart began to race once again. “I like you being with me as well.”“I won’t get you into trouble, but do you mind if I stay with you again tonight?” he asked.“What about your parents? Don’t they worry?”Zion smiled. “I’ve got my bedroom covered.”“What does that mean?”“It means they understand I need my own space.” He got to his feet, stepping toward her. Zion placed his hands on either side of her head. “I promise you, Maya, you’re safe with me. I won’t do anything to hurt you.”She didn’t want him to leave.Mate.Something was changing inside her when it came to Zion. She accepted him and wanted to forget about what happened in their past. He hadn’t bullied her since they returned to school.“I’m going to get showered.” She moved past the door, sliding underneath his arm to grab her pajamas.“I’ll be here.”Escaping to the bathroom, Maya closed the door. Staring at her reflection, she blew out some air pushing her hair off her face.“It’s okay, Maya. It’s just a boy in your r

Chapter: Chapter 142“No, you don’t.” Unlike the girls he’d been with, Maya was not easily talkative. He didn’t know if he liked her silences. There was no way for him to know what she was thinking or what about. If it wasn’t for the different smells that came from her, he wouldn’t have an insight. In the car, he’d glared at Jack and his friend knew he had overstepped the line with his comments. “I don’t like how you doubt me.I know I’ve not given you any reason to believe me when I tell you that this is not a joke. I know I’ve got to prove to you that I’m with you with this, all the way.” He passed her a flask of hot chocolate. “Don’t worry. I can wait for you to trust me.”“Thank you.”He watched her sip at her drink. She really was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen. Zion leaned back on his hands staring up at the clear blue sky. It was cold, and it would be colder still.“This is nice.” She leaned her head against him, and joy suffused him.Wrapping his arm around her shoulders, he pulled her cl

FATED TO THE ALPHA MATED FOR ETERNITY
“You’re what I’ve been waiting for, Elara. Didn’t know it until I saw you, but… yeah. You’re it.”
Alpha Rowan lives under an ancient, crushing pack curse: his wolves cannot mate and breed until he finds his own true mate. Resigned to a solitary life of logging, he is shaken to his core when he finds his destiny in the most unexpected place: the human town he avoids.
Elara, a good-hearted waitress with a long past of loneliness and rejection, is utterly unprepared for the towering, intense, and possessive wolf who instantly claims her world. Rowan must now navigate a dangerous, desperate courtship with a human who is vulnerable to the hidden shifter society, especially when a jealous rival, Joe, and a brutal Rogue Bear target Elara to cripple the Rowan Blackwood pack.
The Alpha's immense strength and feral instinct are the only barriers between his fragile mate and the dark world that wants to destroy the one woman who holds the key to his pack's survival. Rowan will break every law of man and shifter to keep Elara, or the ancient Rowan Blackwood curse will destroy them all.

Chapter: Chapter 61The sky had bled out its last pink edges hours ago. Night settled thick over the forest now, alive with the low chorus of crickets, the distant hoot of an owl, the rustle of leaves under small paws. David stood at the tree line, bare feet sinking into cool earth, and drew in a long breath. Pine, moss, water, and underneath it all Heather. Her scent wrapped around him like a promise, pulling his wolf forward until the animal paced restlessly just beneath his skin.This was it. The moment they’d circled for months. He’d already claimed her in every way that mattered heart, home, pack but tonight the bond would be sealed in fang and blood. Permanent. Unbreakable. The security of it hummed through his veins, steadying the frantic beat of his heart.The moon hung fat and silver overhead, power rolling off it in waves he could almost taste. His muscles twitched, ready. Heather had insisted on meeting him at the lake wanted the water, the quiet, the ritual of it. He’d hated letting her run a

Chapter: Chapter 60Heather had been pacing the living room all morning, stomach in knots. The she-bear weighed on her mind like a stone. She needed to know the girl was safe, that she wasn’t spiraling into the same lonely darkness Heather had clawed her way out of years ago. Seeing her own younger self in that wild, frightened gaze had cracked something open inside her she couldn’t stand the thought of the young woman hurting alone.The low growl of an engine finally cut through the quiet. Heather flew to the window just as David climbed out of the truck, boots hitting gravel. He moved with that easy, predatory grace she loved, heading straight for the house. She met him at the door before he could knock.He smelled like the forest pine sap, damp earth, and that warm, masculine edge that was pure David. She grabbed his collar, tugged him down, and buried her face in his neck, breathing him in deep.“Any word?” she asked, voice muffled against his skin.David’s arms came around her waist. “Joe’s got it u

Chapter: Chapter 59Heather spun at the wet crunch behind her. Maddox lay sprawled on the hallway floor, one hand clamped over his stomach, blood seeping between his fingers. David stood over the hunter’s corpse, hoisting the limp body onto his shoulder like it weighed nothing. The man’s head lolled at a grotesque angle, neck clearly broken.She crossed the distance in three quick steps and cupped David’s face, thumbs brushing the tension from his jaw. “You saved me.”David shook his head once, sharp. “No. He did. I just made sure the bastard stayed down.”Heather glanced back. Maddox managed a crooked smile through the pain. “Guess that squares us. I’m in your debt.”David’s voice came out low and lethal. “You’re not in her debt anymore. Consider it paid with interest.”Maddox grunted, pressing harder against the wound. “Bullet caught me in the gut. Wouldn’t have killed her. Not a fatal shot. I’ll live.”Heather started toward him, concern flickering. David’s low growl stopped her cold his wolf wouldn’t

Chapter: Chapter 58All David could think about was Heather. His mate. His everything. The pack mattered he’d die for any of them in a heartbeat but Heather? Nothing touched her. Nothing got close. He’d rip the world apart before he let these bastards lay another finger on her.He ghosted through the underbrush, slowing to a prowl as he closed on the next hunter. The man paused to jam fresh rounds into his rifle, cursing under his breath. So much firepower for one night. How the hell had they tracked Maddox and Heather straight to this hidden patch of nowhere? Their home had been chosen for exactly this reason: off the map, off the grid.The hunter glanced up.David bared teeth in a feral grin. Before the man could swing the barrel around, David was on him claws digging into shoulders, jaws closing around the throat. One sharp twist. Crack. The body slumped into the leaves.These hunters had to be raking in cash from the pit fights. Enough to bring an army out here on short notice.“Reese is hit,” Rowan’

Chapter: Chapter 57David felt it in his gut like a lead weight he wasn’t thinking straight about Maddox. Not even close. Every instinct screamed to rip the newcomer’s throat out, end the gnawing itch under his skin once and for all. He hated how possessive his wolf had become, hated that Heather’s scent had ever touched another male, even for survival. But he kept his mouth shut and followed Rowan toward the back of the property, past the old barn where moonlight spilled silver across the grass.Maddox sat cross-legged on the ground, head tilted back, staring straight up at the sky. One deep breath and David caught it salt and wet cheeks. The guy was crying, quiet and private.“It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” Maddox said, voice rough but soft.No one moved. They just watched him watch the stars.Reese broke the quiet first. “What’s going on, man?”Maddox didn’t look down. “Couple months back those hunters grabbed me. Worst day of my damn life. They had no idea what I was why would they? I’d been running four

Chapter: Chapter 56The cheers rang out across the yard, glasses clinking, laughter rolling over the crackle of the firepit. Heather stole a glance at David. He stood rigid beside her, arms folded, jaw locked. If he kept brooding like that, Rowan would notice and haul him aside for a word. Alphas didn’t tolerate pack tension festering in plain sight.Maddox lifted his bottle in a half-hearted salute. “Never figured I’d end up in a pack. Thirty-five years mostly solo drifting, surviving. I don’t know all your rules yet, but I’m game to learn.”Brian leaned forward, elbows on his knees. “Tell us something real about you, man. Where you from? What brought you here?”Maddox stared into the flames for a beat. “Nothing worth telling.”Heather felt her own hackles rise. A ripple of unease passed through the group. Silence settled heavy, smothering the easy mood. Packs didn’t do secrets. Trust was the glue hunt together, fight together, bleed together. No room for walls.“Everybody’s got history,” Rowan said qui
