Dane

We walk in silence through the pack grounds. Forest Trails is different from Mountain Ridge in nearly every way. Where our compound is structured, orderly, built for efficiency and defense, theirs sprawls naturally among the trees, cabins and training areas blending with the landscape.

The lake clearing is empty when we arrive, but I don't have to wait long. Alpha Bennett emerges from the trees, his expression thunderous. He's alone, which confirms this isn't an official meeting.

"I should kill you where you stand," he says without preamble. “I would if my daughter wouldn’t suffer because of it. I still might.”

"You could try." I keep my voice respectful but firm. This isn't my territory, but I won't be intimidated. “Does Finley know you’re here threatening me?”

He snorts, ignoring my question. "Don't tempt me, pup." He circles me slowly, assessing. "You marked my daughter without permission. In my territory. In front of five other packs."

"My wolf recognized his mate." I meet hi

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Their fractured Bond Ch. 1

    Rhett I sit up in bed with a gasp as I'm jolted out of my dream, my heart racing and her name on my lips like a prayer and a promise combined."Brynlee!"The sound echoes in the empty bedroom, bouncing off walls that haven't heard her laughter in six months. My chest heaves as I try to catch my breath, sweat cooling on my skin despite the early morning chill. The dream—if it was a dream—felt so real I can still taste her name on my tongue, still feel the phantom warmth of her presence reaching across impossible distances.My wolf, Kian, paces restlessly beneath my skin, agitated in a way I haven't felt since those first horrible days after she disappeared. He's been quiet lately, subdued by grief and the necessity of holding myself together for our daughter, Maya. But now he's alert, ears pricked forward like he's listening for something just beyond our ability to hear.She called to me. The certainty hits me like a physical blow. Not a dream, not wishful thinking born of six months

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Author's Note

    Aloha Lovely readers,Thank you so much for your patience as I contemplate next steps for this story. To be honest, deciding how to move forward has been a struggle for me. But I've finally made a decision and I'm ready to stick to it.You see, the novella I wrote for Rhett and Brynlee wasn't planned. It was a story that developed in my mind as I wrote Olivia's book, which is why I didn't write a longer book for them. I've had this entire series planned for a while and they just weren't in it. That was a lack of foresight on my part, I suppose. The problem is, as I wrote His Shattered Mate, I fell in love with Rhett and Brynlee and just wasn't ready to let them go completely. I wasn't sure how at the time, but I knew I needed to circle back to them at some point. While I loved their story, I was also painfully aware that while Rhett's love allowed Brynlee to heal and grow into the strong woman she became, Rhett was always unapologetically himself. He didn't really have to compromise m

  • Not Their Luna: A Female Alpha Story   Bonus Chapter

    The dimension I've been trapped in for six months exists in a state of perpetual twilight—not quite day, not quite night, with a silver-gray sky that never changes and landscape that shifts when I'm not looking directly at it. Trees that were there moments ago vanish, replaced by rocky outcroppings or endless fields of grass that whisper secrets in languages I almost understand.But I'm alive. Against all odds, despite the dimensional collapse that should have scattered my atoms across multiple realities, I'm whole and conscious and desperately trying to find my way home.The hardest part isn't the isolation or the constantly shifting environment—it's the silence where my mate bond should be. In this place between worlds, I can't feel him. Can't sense whether he's alive or dead, grieving or moving on, enjoying life or drowning in the kind of pain that destroys people from the inside out.I have to believe he's alive. Because the alternative—imagining my strong, devoted mate broken by m

    FinleyThe presentation went better than I could have hoped. Not just well—brilliantly. By the time I finished explaining our integrated leadership model and the measurable improvements in pack welfare, territorial security, and inter-pack relations, even the most traditional Alphas in the room were taking notes."I told you so," Liam whispers in my ear as we walk toward our house, his arm warm around my waist."You did indeed," I agree with satisfaction that feels almost too good to be real. "Though I don't think any of us predicted Alpha Morrison asking if we'd consider sending advisors to help Silver Stream implement similar reforms.""Three territorial requests for consultation," Dane adds with obvious pride, his hand finding mine as we approach our front door. "Not bad for a day's work.""Not bad at all," I confirm, though the real victory isn't the political validation—it's the way my mates stood behind me throughout the entire presentation, their confidence in my abilities so ab

    LiamI wake up to the sound of Finley cursing creatively in the bathroom, which means either she's encountered a spider or she's trying to do something complicated with her hair for today's inter-pack meeting. Given that it's barely dawn and she's been complaining about the formal nature of today's events, I'm betting on the hair."Need help?" I call softly, not wanting to wake Dane, who's still sprawled across three-quarters of our bed like he owns the place."Yes, but not with this," comes her frustrated reply. "I need help with the fact that Alpha Thompson apparently expects me to give a formal presentation about our 'innovative leadership structure' to a room full of traditionalists who still think female Alphas are a novelty."I slip out of bed and pad to the bathroom, where I find her wrestling with what appears to be an attempt at a sophisticated updo that's fighting back with impressive stubbornness."Here," I say, gently taking the brush from her hands. "Let me."There's somet

    Dane-Six Months LaterThe morning sun filters through our bedroom windows as I watch Finley get ready for another day of being the most effective Alpha Forest Trails has ever seen. Six months into our mated life, and I still catch myself marveling at how perfectly everything has fallen into place—not without effort, but with the kind of natural harmony that makes all our earlier struggles seem like necessary steps toward this contentment we enjoy every day."Stop staring at my ass and help me find my other boot," Finley calls over her shoulder, though I can hear the smile in her voice."I can multitask," I reply with dignity that's completely undermined by the fact that I am, indeed, admiring the view as she bends over to search under our bed. "Besides, it's a very nice ass. I'm appreciating it.""Appreciating it won't find my boot," she points out, though she deliberately wiggles said ass just to torture me."Found it," Liam announces from the doorway, holding up the missing boot with
