The Alpha's Rival
Only days after her eighteenth birthday, Iris finally joins her pack in attending the Winter Solstice, a gathering of the four Western packs in the United States. Even though she is a Beta’s daughter, Iris plans on keeping her head down at the party, a task that proves more difficult when she runs into the notorious Alpha of the Black River Pack.
Alpha Sergio has still not recovered from the tragic, mysterious loss of his first mate. So when he bumps into a young girl from a rival pack and feels the familiar fire reignite in his core, he thinks Fate is playing a cruel joke on him. Intent on keeping Iris out of harm’s way, Alpha Sergio decides to push his young mate away. But Iris, and her dormant wolf, are determined to teach the broken Alpha how to love again.

Chapter: Chapter 16“What were you doing walking alone at night?” He took a step closer to me and folded his arms across his broad chest.“Why does it matter?” I muttered in disgust, trying to act like I could not stand his possessive questions.“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe because we are at war with a superior species of hybrids that roam the woods at night.” His snarled and took another step closer to me, so that we were only a few feet apart.“You can’t even shift. You would never be able to put up a fight against anything!” I knew he was losing his tempter, and fast.Suddenly, an idea came to me. “Well then teach me to fight.”He glanced at me, as if wondering if I was serious.“Teach me to fight against one of them. It makes since because, apparently, I am at some great risk.” I gestured to the

Chapter: Chapter 15A loud clunk against my window woke me from my restless slumber. I jolted upright and shuffled toward the window so that I could see what was going on.“You woke her up, dummy!” A girl who looked about ten years old yelled at her young companion, a boy with dark waves of hair, from below my window.The little boy was chasing after his foam football, which was most likely what hit my window and caused the disturbance. At least my window did not kill a bird, I thought to myselfI smiled at the two children before stepping away from the window to let them continue with their games, but a familiar voice made me peek back down at them. Sergio had walked out of the house and was now talking to the two youngsters, although I could not decipher what they were saying. All I could focus on was the way his dark hair seemed to reflect the sun beams and the movement of his muscles beneath his tight-fitting shirt. Suddenly

Chapter: Chapter 14A boy sitting next to Christina laughed slightly at my comment but said nothing; instead, he inspected me with narrowed eyes.“You know…” he shoved a piece of chicken that had just been brought out into his mouth, “you kind of look like her.”Instantly, the mood around the table changed and everyone tensed up. Sophia glanced at me slightly before biting her lip and looking away.“Like who?” apparently, it was a dumb question, because Christina slammed her silverware against her plate, causing the glass to shatter.Christina glared at me, “Sarah. Alpha’s true mate. And don’t flatter yourself, because you are nothing like her. You are never going to be her, so don’t even try.”She turned to the boy who was sitting next to her, “And you, John, how dare you compare this worthless transfer to my sister.&rdq

Chapter: Chapter 13“No, they have not reached our region yet. None of our region’s four packs have been affected. The Black Raven Pack is probably the only one that knows about this anyways…” he muttered and relief flooded me.“Dammit Iris,” he growled furiously, “Now that man knows you are my mate.” That was the first time he had actually claimed me as his mate.I was going to ask him why that mattered, but figured that that would just make him more furious with me. He already seemed to think that I was to blame for all of this.“And why were you dancing with him anyways?” He finally glanced at me with his piercing blue eyes.“I could ask you the same question about that blonde that was clinging to you!” I shouted, finally having had enough of his accusations.To my surprise, Sergio smirked slightly as he sped down the windin

Chapter: Chapter 12“We are stopping here,” Sergio told me as he pulled in to a parking lot for a large bar in what seemed like the middle of nowhere.I was still exhausted from the night before, so I had been trying to sleep on the way back to the pack house. Sergio and I had hardly spoken all morning, so it was not hard to drift away. I was actually becoming quite comfortable in the silence.“Why?” I groaned slightly as I looked out of the window at the bustling saloon. It was only six o’clock yet people were spilling out of its doors.“I need to do something. It will only take an hour,” he assured me as he slid out of the car with ease and began to walk to the door.I stepped out of the car, happy to finally stretch my legs once more, and speed-walked over to Sergio so that I could walk in with him.To my surprise, when we reached the entrance, Sergio hel

Chapter: Chapter 11“I already told you,” he growled, “We may not be mates, but my wolf believes that we are.” Again, he reminded me that we are not even mates and that this entire situation is a mistake.“I am glad we are not. I always imagined my mate to be so much more than you…” I spoke through gritted teeth before turning away from him.I caught sight of Sergio’s face before I turned around though. His features were hardened and he looked enraged at my words and disrespect, but there was also a wave of hurt that showed briefly in his eyes.Before I could get far from him, an exotic man stepped out of his room. His eyes were golden as he looked between Sergio and me, probably wondering why we were being so loud.I was about to apologize to him for the disturbance, but before I could he smiled knowingly, “An Alpha and his Luna.”“

Illicit Affair
“You know the truth, Cath,” Wren whispered. “You’re my girl. You’ve always been my girl.”
Catherine Thomas knew West Thorne and his younger brother, Wren, better than anyone.

Fast forward four years and their friendship grew into an unbreakable bond.
Catherine has been dating Wren’s brother West for a year. On the night West pops the question in front of everyone, her eyes land on Wren. Hidden tension passes between them. Wren turns and walks away…and Catherine says yes.
As the big day approaches, Wren and Catherine are thrown into a whirlwind of emotions while planning the wedding. Unable to resist their connection any longer, they find themselves locked in an illicit affair.
As the lies and secrets from everyone, including West, come to light, there are only two questions to be asked: Will she marry West? Or will Wren finally accept his feelings for Catherine?

Chapter: Chapter 10He pulled a slice of pizza from the box and leaned back in my dining room chair. My eyes were drawn to the way his muscles flexed beneath the black shirt he was wearing as he took a bite.Thank God I was chewing my food, or else I would probably be drooling.“It’s okay. My mom keeps constantly inviting me over for dinner. I think she’s overcompensating.”“Yeah,” I laughed lightly, “your mom was always a little overbearing. But only in the best ways.”He scoffed at me playfully. “My mother has always loved you. More than I think she loves me and West.”I shook my head as I wiped my mouth with a napkin. “She’s not going to like me when I show up to this family trip with barely anything nice to wear.”Wren’s brows drew together. “What do you mean?”

Chapter: Chapter 9“Catherine?”My mind came back to the present when I heard West’s voice. He was walking over to my table at the café and I waved in his direction. “Hey!”“I called your name a few times. What were you thinking about?” he placed a soft kiss to my cheek.“Oh. Uh, nothing. How are you?”He had a guilty look on his face. “I feel like shit. I’m sorry, Catherine. I shouldn’t have called your office and I shouldn’t have reacted that way about the key. Or you moving in. I know how you feel about that.”“Then why were you accusing me of cheating on you?” That’s what really ate at me about this whole thing.He ran his hand through his hair. “That’s not what—I wasn’t doing that. I know it seemed like it, but I was just upset.”

Chapter: Chapter 8I massaged my temples as I waited for the Keurig machine to make my coffee. When I woke up this morning, I remembered why I didn’t like tequila. The aspirin that Wren gave me last night barely did anything. It wasn’t his fault. I tended to be a lightweight when it came to hard liquor.I definitely felt it this morning. I woke up with a pounding headache, grogginess, and a strong urge to call in sick to work. But I pushed that aside and came in anyway. Well, first I had to take an Uber to go pick up my car, then I came to work. After all, I couldn’t very well call in sick the day after my boss approved my mysterious days off.One other thing that started my morning off unusually, were the missed calls from West. I really should have taken his call last night, but I was drunk and I didn’t want to say something I would regret. I was still pretty mad at him.Which is one reason I was glad I ended up m

Chapter: Chapter 7“Another round for you two?”“Yes.” Wren and I answered at the same time.I cleared my throat and Wren looked away. “Your turn, Cath. What’s going on with West?”I tried to think of the best way to describe it. “Well, I told you about the stunt he pulled at my office. I was planning on calling him when I got home and tearing him a new one.” Wren and I both laughed before I continued. “But when I got home, he was there waiting at my door.” I kept my eyes on the bowl of bar nuts. I felt like if I looked at Wren, I wouldn’t be able to keep talking.“And then?” he asked when I didn’t continue.“Before I could even ask about him calling my office, he was pissed that he didn’t have a key to my place.”“He doesn’t have a key to your a

Chapter: Chapter 6“Do you want your usual?” Wren asked with a charming smile as I sat down next to him at the bar. “Or are Cosmos not your thing anymore?”I laughed as I sat my purse next to me. The crack of a pool stick combined with the winning music of a dart machine sounded behind me. “Cosmos are still my thing,” I told Wren with a laugh, “but I’m feeling something a lot stronger tonight.”“Bartender!” Wren called as he held up two fingers. “Can we get two shots of tequila, please?”“Coming right up!” The bartender called.“Yes!” I exclaimed. “I’m starving. I don’t feel like making any decisions tonight, so you can order for me. You know what I like.”Wren ordered our food and I was counting down the minutes before the bartender brought us our shots. Maybe this night ou

Chapter: Chapter 5“You too,” I replied as I got in my car. I stayed in my parking spot for a moment and took a few deep breaths. I closed my eyes and rested my head against my seat.I didn’t know what request my boss was talking about, but it had to mean time off. What was West planning? And why didn’t he tell me about it?Chime-chimeAt first, I didn’t want to even look at my phone to see who had texted me. But I was also kind of hoping it was West so I could rip him a new one. I glanced down at my phone and was pleasantly surprised.Wren: Hey Cath. What are you up to?As always, my heart did that little flutter thing.Me: Hey. I just got off of work. How about you?Wren: Not much. Bored haha I was thinking about going out and getting a drink tonight. Want to come? I’m going to our usual hangout.I
