The Alpha's Untamed Mate
Clara Westbrook has spent her life being exactly what an Alpha’s daughter is supposed to be. But when she discovers that her father has promised her to Alpha Damien Ashford in a marriage contract she never agreed to, obedience is no longer an option.
When she escapes with the Blackstone delegation, Clara thinks she’s simply found a way out. What she doesn’t know is that Alpha Kieran Blackstone has already recognized her as his fated mate.
Damien has a contract bearing her name, and Marcus Westbrook has no intention of allowing his carefully arranged plans to fall apart.
Neither of them is prepared to accept that Clara’s future may no longer belong to them.
What begins as a fight over an unwanted marriage soon reaches the Alpha Council, where an old contract and an undeniable mate bond collide.
But the battle over Clara’s future is only the beginning.
Something is wrong inside Westbrook, and as questions surrounding Marcus and his leadership begin to surface, the decisions he made in the name of protecting his pack threaten to bring down everything he fought to control.
At Blackstone, Clara is discovering a life she never knew she was allowed to want—and an Alpha who doesn’t expect her to become smaller to stand beside him.
But before Clara can build a future of her own, she’ll have to face the one she was promised to.
And Damien Ashford isn’t finished with her yet.

Chapter: Chapter 45- ClaraBy the time Kieran pulled into a small rest area a few minutes later, the sharpest part of my headache had begun to fade, leaving behind a dull, unpleasant throbbing that seemed to worsen whenever I moved too quickly.He came around to my side of the SUV before I'd even unfastened my seat belt, opening the door and crouching beside me with an expression that suggested he was trying very hard not to lose his temper."How are you feeling?""Like someone spent the last ten minutes trying to split my skull open."His jaw tightened, and I immediately regretted the answer."Sorry. That probably wasn't what you wanted to hear.""No, sweetheart, it wasn't."

Chapter: Chapter 43- ClaraThe landscape outside had gradually changed as we traveled, the busy commercial stretches surrounding the hotel giving way to long sections of highway bordered by wooded hills and open fields. Occasionally, we'd pass through a small town or glimpse a cluster of houses tucked among the trees, but for the most part, the road stretched ahead of us without interruption.I'd never traveled this far from Westbrook without my family.The realization had been lingering somewhere in the back of my mind since we left Council, but it was only now, with the morning slipping away and our destination growing closer, that I was beginning to appreciate what it meant.I was going somewhere I'd never seen, to live among people I didn't know, with a man I'd met only days earlier.And somehow, despite the uncertainty of everything waiting for me, I was looking forward to it.I knew Blackstone was one of the largest packs in the region. My father had spoken about its size and influence often enough, usual

Chapter: Chapter 42- ClaraBy the time we had been on the road for nearly two hours, I had reluctantly accepted that Kieran had been right about making me sit in the front.I wasn't going to tell him, obviously. He already looked far too pleased with himself whenever I stretched my legs beneath the dashboard, and I had no intention of rewarding his smugness by admitting that the passenger seat was considerably more comfortable than the third row. My back was still sore from yesterday's spectacularly poor decision to spend an entire day hiding among the luggage, and every time I shifted, another muscle reminded me that being a wolf didn't make me immune to the consequences of my own stupidity. I'd apparently managed to bruise places I hadn't even realized could be bruised.Still, there were worse places to spend a morning than beside Kieran Blackstone.He'd been driving since we left the hotel, occasionally contributing to whatever conversation was taking place behind us but otherwise seeming content to let the

Chapter: Chapter 41- ClaraBy the time we made it downstairs, the hotel restaurant was already busy with travelers finishing breakfast before heading out for the day. I followed Kieran through the dining area, still feeling pleasantly warm from our morning together, although that feeling was immediately threatened when I spotted Cole and Luca sitting at a table near the windows.Both twins looked up as we approached.Both smiled.And I knew, with absolute certainty, that I was in trouble.“Morning, Clara,” Cole greeted me, his expression so innocently cheerful that I immediately became suspicious. “Sleep well?”“Very well, thank you,” I replied, taking the chair Kieran pulled out for me. “It's amazing what a difference an actual mattress makes.”Luca nearly choked on his coffee.Cole's grin widened, and Maddox, who was sitting across from them with a plate of eggs and toast, lowered his head as though suddenly fascinated by his breakfast.I looked between them, narrowing my eyes.“Oh, don't even start.”“Start

Chapter: Chapter 40- ClaraI woke to the sensation of warm lips moving slowly against my shoulder and a large hand resting beneath the hem of my T-shirt, its owner apparently under the impression that the best way to start the morning was to make it impossible for me to continue sleeping. For a few wonderful seconds, I remained perfectly still, enjoying the attention without giving any indication that I was awake. Kieran's chest was pressed against my back, his arm wrapped securely around my waist, and the steady warmth of his body made the prospect of getting out of bed seem considerably less appealing than it ordinarily would have been.His lips moved toward the side of my neck, and I felt him smile against my skin when my breathing changed.“Good morning, sweetheart,” he murmured, his voice still rough with sleep.I kept my eyes closed, determined not to make things too easy for him. “I'm sleeping.”“Are you?” His fingers traced a leisurely path along my stomach, stopping just beneath my ribs as he pressed an

Chapter: Chapter 39- ClaraI wasn't entirely sure how we'd gone from arguing loudly enough to make me wonder whether the people in the neighboring rooms could hear us to standing in the middle of the hotel suite with Kieran's arms wrapped around me, but I wasn't particularly interested in questioning it. My cheek rested against his chest, his heartbeat steady beneath my ear, and for the first time since I'd climbed into the back of his SUV that morning, I felt as though I could finally stop worrying about what might happen if someone discovered where I was.Kieran was still angry with me. I knew that much, and I wasn't foolish enough to believe our argument had resolved everything. He'd made his feelings about my little escape plan abundantly clear, particularly the part where he'd informed me that everyone in the vehicle had known I was hiding there the entire time. I was still trying to decide whether I was more embarrassed by that revelation or irritated that they'd all apparently found my attempts at secrec
