Part of Kingdom of Wolves
First published 2021
Makayla is minding her own business when she gets yanked out of her realm entirely. She wakes up caged by a hybrid who thinks a shifter makes a fine pet. Before she can tear her way free, an alpha wolf named Alaric crashes in and takes out the hybrid himself. Then he tells her she is his fated mate. Makayla's answer is a dagger to his chest. She runs. Alaric had already been tracking the hybrid for a different reason: the bastard stole his mate before he ever got to meet her. Now that he has found her, she is nothing like he expected. She is not kneeling. She is not begging. She is sprinting in the opposite direction and making him feel like a fool. The chase pulls them both through the Kingdom of Wolves, where Alaric is all possession and Makayla is all fury. She wants her own realm back. He wants her to stop throwing blades at him long enough to feel what he feels. Neither one is wrong, and neither one will bend. That tension between a bond neither of them chose and the lives they refuse to give up is what drives every scene.
