Novels by Autumn Raine

Noah POV Shit. I can't believe this was only the first day. Though everything was mostly to catch up with old friends or allies or make new acquaintances. I didn't know how I was going to get through five whole days of this. One of my hopes was that, by some stroke of luck, I would come across my mate. However, with the number of women that were introduced to me, I am fairly certain we can go ahead and kill that dream. I was introduced to every Alpha's available daughter, literally dozens of girls. Some I would even question if they were of age, they all looked terrified. On the other side of the field, some daughters came on to me, even with their fathers right beside us. I would normally be all about this, I love a woman who is crazy in bed, but I had to set an example for my pack. However, there was one young woman who was not presented to me, Evelyn. After the initial introduction to Alpha Kent, she made herself scarce and hid away pretty well for the rest of the day. Though I d

Evelyn POV "Evelyn, it is time you meet the man who will be your mate. Come along." My mother walked away towards the hulking man that just entered the room. Though I had never seen him before, it couldn't be anyone else. That was Alpha Kent, alpha of the Blackwater pack. He was a ruthless warrior, and ten years my senior. My mother must be joking. Just another example of her cruel and twisted sense of humor. I looked to my father in desperation, but he only looked back with sadness and pity in his eyes. He knew. This man knew what a mother was condemning her daughter to, and he was just watching it happen. My hands were clammy and I was breaking out into a cold sweat. My father began to walk in the direction after my mother and it was evident that I was expected to follow. My blood ran cold as I neared the terrifying Alpha. His pack was known to be ruthless. Almost like the old stories of Vikings, they would rape and pillage other packs just for the fun of it. There was no doubt wh

Noah POV As I turned to lead them towards the hub of our territory, I caught a smell unlike any other I had smelled before. It was almost like the blend of vanilla and honey, but with a bready undertone. Honestly delicious. I turned my head even further to see where it was coming from. I briefly caught the eye of that young girl, though she turned her head away swiftly. I couldn't help my amusement in that. No one held my eye contact that long; whether it be from fear or embarrassment from being caught staring. The latter of which I wouldn't complain about. I couldn't help that women threw themselves at me, but I did hold myself to a certain level of restraint. Or I at least tried to now that I am Alpha. I limited myself to very few encounters since. It didn't sit right with me to just sleep with any pack member. I had a role to play in their lives, and fuckboy doesn't need to be one of them. Every now and then I would take a glance back at the young girl, but she stubbornly kept he

The wolf's snout could only be two inches from my face. It bared its teeth at me as it growled, a deep rumbling noise I could feel in my chest. Much to my relief, I heard commotion all around me and the wolf. It seems that my party overheard the chase and were coming to my aid. A handful of our pack's warriors surrounded us, each on their toes and shirtless in preparation to shift. The great wolf had lifted its head at the sound of others approaching and seemed to be analyzing his options. Luckily he chose to avoid the fight and began to shift back. As he shifted I felt two hands grab me up under my arms and hoist me away from the Alpha. I looked up and saw my father's Beta, Saul. He looked plenty prepared to scold me for somehow putting myself into some trouble when he turned his attention back to the man who had been pursuing me. "Is there a reason you were tracking down and ready to attack another Alpha's daughter?" Saul called out to him. The stranger cocked his head and stared

Evelyn's POV The cool water was refreshing on my heated skin. We've been traveling for days, yet I am still not ready to reach the Council of Alphas. The council convenes every 10 years to discuss alliances. As an Alpha's daughter I am expected to attend, and most likely wither away from boredom during the meetings. Another disadvantage of being an Alpha's daughter and being made to attend the council is that many families will force their children into arranged marriages. It's the last point that has my stomach in a twist. Being the daughter of an Alpha means I am to be used as a means of alliance and building bonds with other packs, even though we all have a fated mate waiting for us somewhere out there. It's just a sacrifice I am expected to make for the pack. It's all politics and my wolf Ashe and I agree that it is also just plain cruel. At 20 I will probably be married off to some egotistical alpha before I am even able to recognize my mate. Normally wolves can identify their m
