The Mate Hunt
Maeve Cross has but one reason to enter the Blood Hunt... to be brought down by the most feared Alpha alive.
For three years, she has been searching for her missing sister, Mara, whose secret letters describe starvation, torture, and imprisonment beneath the pack house of Alpha Ronan Caine. Maeve knows the rules of the Hunt: get to the sanctuary before sunrise and win protection, wealth or a favor from each Alpha who hunted her.
If they get caught the one who lays claim to her gets to mate her.
Maeve has no intention of fleeing.
She means to let Ronan take her, get into his area, save Mara and kill him before he can finish the bonding.
But Ronan is waiting for her.
Years ago, Mara betrayed his family, opened the gates to enemy wolves, and murdered the Luna chosen to save him from the deadly Sovereign Hunger. Ronan's wolf was starving, violent, and dangerously close to overriding the interrupted ritual.
Then Maeve comes into his woods.
Her smell soothes the beast inside him.
It is her hate that rouses it.
And once Ronan has her, he has no intention of letting her go.
Maeve is trapped in his estate, looking for her sister and battling a dangerous attraction to the ruthless Alpha she came to destroy. But the more she digs the clearer the truth becomes.
Maybe Ronan isn’t the monster who destroyed Mara’s life.
Ronan went into the Hunt for revenge. Now he wants Maeve.
And whether she hates him or not, his starving wolf has already chosen her.
