The Alpha's Unwanted Claim
Evelyn Crane thought she was human.
On the night of her eighteenth birthday, everything she believed about her life falls apart when her parents reveal a secret they have kept from her for years…she is a werewolf, and they are not her real parents.
Before Evelyn can make sense of the truth, tragedy strikes. Her parents are murdered, and her mother's final words send her running to the one place she never wanted to go.
The Blackthorn Pack.
Its Alpha, Kieran Rodriguez, is feared by everyone who knows his name. Ruthless, powerful, and unwilling to show mercy, Kieran has no interest in taking care of an unshifted eighteen year old girl.
Until he learns that Rafael, the ruthless Alpha of the rival Drakon Pack, is searching for her.
Why does Rafael want Evelyn?
And why did her mother believe Kieran was the only person who could protect her?
When Evelyn is brought before Kieran, neither of them knows that their lives are about to become permanently intertwined.
As dangerous secrets surrounding Evelyn begin to surface, Kieran finds himself drawn to the girl he never intended to protect. But with Rafael closing in, enemies hiding within the packs, and Evelyn's true identity buried beneath years of lies, staying beside Kieran may be just as dangerous as running from him.
Evelyn soon realizes that the night her parents died was only the beginning.
The deeper she gets into the supernatural world, the more she discovers that her past is connected to a dangerous secret, and someone is willing to destroy everything to get to her.
With enemies closing in and nowhere safe to run, Evelyn must uncover the truth before the people hunting her find her first.

Chapter: chapter 16Prisoner Kieran's POVThe dungeon beneath Blackthorn was cold and damp, the air thick with the smell of blood and rust.Kieran Rodriguez stood before the prisoner chained to the wall, his expression unreadable.Leon, a Drakon warrior, had been discovered injured near the old road by a Blackthorn patrol. When he had attempted to flee, the patrol had subdued him and brought him back for questioning.Now, he sat with his head bowed, blood staining his torn shirt."Do you know who I am?" Kieran asked.Leon raised his head, managing a bitter smile despite his injuries."The great Alpha of Blackthorn.""Good. Then you should understand that lying to me would be a foolish decision.""I have nothing to tell you."Kieran stepped closer."Your warriors have been spotted near my borders. One of them has disappeared, and now you're found bleeding in my territory. What exactly is Drakon planning?"Leon remained silent.Kieran's jaw tightened. He had little patience for games, especially when anot

Chapter: chapter 15The Alpha of Drakon Rafael's POV"Tell me you're joking."Rafael didn't look up from the documents on his desk."I don't repeat myself, Drake ."His Beta stood before him, his expression dark with disbelief."You're planning to send our warriors into Blackthorn territory to retrieve a girl we've barely managed to locate? Kieran has already increased his border patrols. If his men catch our warriors crossing the boundary, he'll consider it an act of war."Rafael finally raised his eyes."Then perhaps his men should learn to mind their own business."Drake exhaled sharply. "This isn't a game, Rafael.""Do I look like I'm playing?"Silence settled over the office.Rafael leaned back in his chair, studying his Beta. Drake had served him for years and understood that once Rafael made a decision, changing his mind was rarely an option.Still, Drake was one of the few people who dared challenge him when he believed he was making a mistake.And right now, he clearly did."Six of our warriors

Chapter: chapter 14Gathering Storm Kieran's POV The moment Evelyn Crane left my office, I knew she would be trouble. Not because she had questioned me. I had dealt with people far more dangerous than a grieving eighteen-year-old girl. It was her determination that bothered me. She wanted answers, and judging by the look in her eyes, she wouldn't stop until she got them. I returned to the report on my desk, but the words refused to hold my attention. Rafael wants her. Mrs. Crane's warning had troubled me long before Evelyn appeared at my door. Now, after speaking to the girl herself, I was no closer to understanding why the Alpha of Drakon would take an interest in someone who had spent her entire life believing she was human. There was something about her story that didn't add up. And I intended to find out what it was. A knock sounded at the door. "Come in." Derek entered, his usual amusement replaced by a serious expression. A folded report was clutched in his hand. "We have a problem."

Chapter: chapter 13A Dangerous Challenge Evelyn's POV I walked behind the two scouts, my heart pounding against my chest.Why would the Alpha suddenly summon me? Was I in trouble? Was he planning to send me away from the pack or, worse, force me to shift?There were so many questions I wanted to ask him, so many things I needed answers to. But the thought of standing before Kieran Rodriguez in his office made my stomach twist.I had to keep my fear hidden. The last thing I wanted was to give him another reason to look down on me.One of the scouts glanced over his shoulder and glared at me, clearly displeased with how far behind I'd fallen. I quickly lengthened my stride to catch up.We stopped outside the Alpha's office. The scout who had glared at me straightened before knocking three times."We've brought Miss Crane, Alpha," he announced."Send her in."The deep, authoritative voice came from inside.The scout opened the door and gestured for me to enter.I stared at him, then mouthed, "Alone?"I c

Chapter: Chapter 12 A Softer Side of Blackthorn. Evelyn’s POV I watched Valeria disappear through the dining hall doors, but the uneasy feeling she had left behind refused to disappear with her. Why had she been staring at me like that? I barely knew anyone in Blackthorn, yet I had already managed to attract the attention of the Alpha’s mistress. I couldn't decide whether that was a good thing or a terrible one. “Don't let her get to you,” Marina said beside me. I sat down and shifted my gaze to the table. “I just…” Marina collected the empty plates from the table. “Valeria is just like that. She likes making sure people know who she is.” “And who exactly is she?” Marina breathed out. “The Alpha's mistress. She's been with him for a while, and she doesn't appreciate anyone who threatens her position.” I frowned. “But I'm not threatening anything. I don't even know the man.” “That's what makes this complicated.” She gave me a small, apologetic smile. “Sometimes, people decide they dislike you

Chapter: Chapter 11An Unwelcome Presence Evelyn's POV“Evelyn…”I felt a hand gently brush against my hair.My eyes opened, and for a moment, I saw my mother sitting beside me, smiling as she stroked my head.“Wake up, sweetheart.”I reached for her.“Mom…”But she disappeared the moment my fingers touched her.I stared at the unfamiliar ceiling, my heart pounding. Then I remembered where I was.Blackthorn Pack.The training. The crowd. Kieran Rodriguez.And my mother.A sharp ache filled my chest as I squeezed my eyes shut. I could still remember her final words, the fear in her eyes, and the blood staining her clothes.Run, Evelyn.I had done as she told me, but what was I supposed to do now? My parents were dead, their killers were still out there, and I had no idea why my mother had sent me to this place.All I had was a card bearing the name of a pack I knew nothing about and an Alpha who seemed to regard me as a nuisance.I needed answers.“Evelyn?”I turned to find Marina sitting beside my bed.
