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 5Joe. Hearing her say the bear’s name made Rowan’s blood boil. He wanted to erase the guy from existence for even being alone with her.“Nothing to worry about, sweetheart,” Joe said. “Head on home.”She slipped past Rowan, brushing close enough that her scent hit him again. They stood frozen until her footsteps faded and the front door clicked shut.Then the mask dropped.“What the hell kind of game are you running, bear?” Rowan demanded.“Might ask you the same thing. A whole wolf pack hiding right under my nose?”“You don’t own these woods. And I don’t roll over for anyone trying to muscle in, not wolves, not coyotes, and sure as hell not bears.”Joe shrugged, casual as hell. “Interesting.” He chuckled again. Rowan’s fists clenched.“What’s so funny?”“You’re throwing around threats, but your mate’s on my payroll. And after the raise I just gave her? Doubt she’s going anywhere.”Of course. The bastard was playing dirty, dangling her job like leverage. Rowan knew spilling the truth a

Chapter: Chapter 4“Where are we headed?” Reese asked as they stepped out into the cool night air.“Home,” Rowan replied, though that was the last place he planned to go right now. He wasn’t about to hang around the diner parking lot looking like some creep. His pack was buzzing with impatience, pushing him hard to claim his mate, and it was getting to the point where they might screw everything up. For all of them. They had to keep in mind that Elara was human, not one of their kind. She needed to be handled with care, slow and steady, if he had any shot at making her his.In his forty years, he’d picked up plenty about how humans did things. Courting a woman was this whole big production date that dragged on, getting engaged, buying fancy rings and jewelry, jumping through all sorts of endless hoops. Sometimes it took years before they finally tied the knot and sealed the deal in bed.For wolves, it was simple. The mating call hit, and that was it. Strangers one minute, bonded for life the next. No bu

Chapter: Chapter 3Guilt twisted in her gut as she stood there, watching them. Why did Joe have to be such a complete jerk? Part of her wanted to wrap her arms around this stranger who'd just saved her from disaster. Rowan. The name fit him strong, a little old-fashioned, kind of rugged.And God, was he ever big.He smiled at her then, a real one that crinkled the corners of his eyes, and it hit her like a burst of warmth on a cold day. Something told her he didn't smile nearly enough. Maybe I could change that. The thought popped into her head uninvited, so sudden it almost threw her off balance. She kept her own smile steady, trying to shove down the flutter in her chest.She felt strange, off-kilter in a way she couldn't name. "Anyway," she said, forcing lightness into her voice, "it was really nice meeting you.""Nice meeting you too, Elara." His voice was low, rough around the edges. "Are you planning to stick around town for a long time?""Hoping to, yeah. I'd like to put down some roots here if t

Chapter: Chapter 2He pulled the truck into a spot right outside the diner and killed the engine. As he climbed out, Rowan froze for a second, dragging a hand through his tangled hair like that might somehow mask what his nose had already picked up.Brian inhaled sharply beside him. "She's close," he said, voice low and excited.Rowan shot him a glare. Another annoying side effect of pack life is that his men could sense his mate before he even admitted it to himself.They were relentless about it, too. That's why at least one of them always tagged along on town runs, convinced he'd dodge her if he spotted her first. As if he'd ever do that. It just hadn't happened. Until maybe now.This scent hit him like a punch of warm sugar, cinnamon, something baked fresh and irresistible. His mouth actually watered, and lower down, his body reacted hard and fast. Instant want, raw and undeniable, for a woman he'd never even laid eyes on.For all he knew, it was just the diner's famous rolls. "Knock it off," he mut

Chapter: Chapter 1"It really shouldn't be that tough to find someone for him," Reese muttered, wiping sweat from his brow."Yeah, well, the man would rather spend all day splitting firewood than even think about dating," David shot back with a grin."We gotta do something about it," Brian added, leaning against a tree. "It's not right for a guy to go this long without a woman in his life. Hell, how does he not crave someone to hold, to build a family with? I know I do."Rowan overheard his pack mates easily enough. They weren't exactly whispering. He knew they were getting restless, pushing him to settle down and find a mate.That was the old wolf curse talking: the alpha had to pair up first, claim his true mate before anyone else in the pack could. Until then, no one got their happy ending, no kids, no heirs. For wolves, passing on the bloodline was everything. His three guys were itching for it badly, and he couldn't fault them one bit. He understood the pull.Once, a long time ago, he'd felt the sa

Chapter: Chapter 5Jumping over the edge, Zion followed her down. He’d met a half-breed in the city, and they’d become close. During their time together, Zion asked the man how he’d stopped himself from turning. The man had been bitten by a female wolf. She’d helped him through the change, but she’d been turned out by her pack for turning a mate.Zion didn’t have a problem with half-breeds, and he was friends with the young couple. They were not part of his pack, as neither of them wanted to be part of a pack.The water surrounded him, and he pushed up to the surface, gasping for air. The rush was amazing, and he knew he’d be coming a lot more to jump over the edge.Maya screamed out, pushing the hair out of her eyes.Laughing, Zion dipped down. The water wasn’t cold, as it was turning out to be one of the hottest Augusts ever. He loved the heat, as it meant not many clothes needed to be worn. The one thing he hated about life in the city was the fact he had to wear clothes to work. Zion loved being nak

Chapter: Chapter 4“Why did you do that?” Juniper asked.This was the first time Maya had been close to the young girl. She always tried to keep to herself, as she knew the disgust the other pack had for her. It wasn’t like her half-breed blood was going to jump out and change the other members of the pack. She heard the sounds of the men and women as they ran for their lives. The pain coming from them in animal and human form scared the life out of her. She’d never heard anything so horrid as the sound of death.“Why did I do what?” Maya asked, glancing at the blonde.Juniper was slender, beautiful, and would be a wonderful wolf one day.“Ask them to spare me? You’ve given yourself to that monster in order to save my life. I don’t understand.”Juniper’s eyes were red and swollen from crying. She winced every time the noise of a fallen pack member echoed throughout the night.“I did what I had to. You don’t deserve to die when you’ve not even lived. Whatever problem this pack has with ours, they’re not

Chapter: Chapter 3Zion turned his attention back toward the pack, his gaze sweeping over them with open contempt. Their expressions were a mixture of fear, resentment, and something darker relief that the attention was no longer on them.They hated the fact they had ever taken her in.“None of them care about you,” Zion said calmly, the words sharp and deliberate as he reached down and hauled Maya to her feet.The truth of it struck harder than any blow. Maya didn’t argue. She didn’t deny it. The pack wouldn’t meet her eyes, and that silence spoke louder than any accusation.Zion took a moment to really look at her.Even without scent, he would have known she wasn’t full-blood. Her body betrayed her lineage in ways no wolf could hide. Full-blooded females were built lean and lithe, all sharp muscle and predatory grace. Maya was something else entirely lush, soft where wolves were hard, undeniably feminine in a way that pulled his attention without effort.Her breasts were full and heavy, her hips wide,

Chapter: Chapter 2Maya bit down hard on her lower lip, tasting blood as the sound of her pack cursing rippled through the clearing. One by one, the enemy wolves turned toward her, their gazes sharp and hostile, their attention suddenly focused on a single, foolish voice that had dared to speak out of turn.Hers.The attack had come too fast. Too sudden. There had been no warning howl, no chance to strip down and run before the moon took hold. The invaders had crashed into their territory like a storm, tearing through the trees and into the heart of the pack’s land before anyone could react.Some of the pack hadn’t even made it behind cover.They stood naked now exposed, vulnerable, humiliated as much by circumstance as by the chains of silver binding them. Maya forced herself not to look too closely. Even after eighteen months of this life, she still hadn’t grown accustomed to seeing naked men so casually displayed. The first few months had been mortifying. Now it was just exhausting.She had seen more

Chapter: Chapter 1Maya stood frozen as another scream ripped through the clearing, sharp and brief before it was cut short. Blood sprayed across the dirt floor of the den, staining the packed earth and the roots that jutted out like skeletal fingers. She could do nothing but watch.Silver chains bit cruelly into her wrists, ankles, and throat, burning her skin with every shallow breath she took. The metal hummed faintly, a constant reminder of her helplessness. Even if she wanted to fight, to shift, to run she couldn’t. Silver stripped her of every advantage she had ever gained from the curse that ran through her blood.Her alpha lay dead.Rowan’s body was crumpled near the far wall, his lifeless eyes staring at nothing. Beside him lay Dax, his mate and queen, her auburn hair matted with blood. Maya’s chest tightened painfully as she forced herself not to look for too long. The grief threatened to choke her, and she couldn’t afford to lose what little control she had left.The pack had been invaded sla
