Emma Baker hates her life. She is a poor werewolf Omega who lives in a trailer with her terrible family. Her mother despises her because she is the child she wished she never had, and her father is an aging gambler who is forcing his daughter to work as a waitress to pay off his debt to their Alpha, Jackson. Emma wants to escape from her harsh life but knows living as a rogue wouldn't be any easier for her. The only solution she can see is to end her own life, but then she meets Alpha Reed, and everything changes. He is the Alpha of another pack and her destined mate. There is only a slight problem: a bond between an Omega and an Alpha is unheard of, especially since an Omega can't bear children and produce an heir. The werewolf council would never allow their mating, but all wise people know forbidden love tastes the best. And it seems the council doesn't know everything because Emma is pregnant.

Lily and Leon are mates, and therefore, I have to make them tie the knotā¦err, not literally speaking. Anyway! It will be an unorthodox pairing, a werewolf and an angelic familiar, but that doesnāt matter. Iām sure Lilyās family would adore Leon. And itās not like he is a bad mate!No, no, Leon is good-looking and strongāSuddenly, a loud gasp echoes through the limoās spacious interior, interrupting my musings. I turn to find Lily with her hand clapped over her mouth, her eyes wide as she points out of the window.āLook!ā she exclaims, all thoughts of Leon seemingly forgotten as we pass a designer boutique. Dresses of all colors and styles can be seen through the large display window. āIāve always wanted to shop there!āThe excitement in her voice is infectious. Her earlier blush and shyness evaporate as she grins at me, her eyes twinkling with anticipation.āWe are stopping there first
EmmaāAlright,ā I say. I donāt usually give up easily, but this time, I will trust in my mate. āI will trust your judgment on this.āReed grins at me like he has won the lottery. āYou wonāt regret this, sweetheart. Trust me on that.āā...you better be right,ā I mutter. He chuckles. āI know I am.āWith Reed watching me like a hawk, I get ready to start my day. He doesnāt leave me alone, though, and I roll my eyes when he wrinkles his nose at my choice of clothing. āSomething wrong with what Iām wearing?āāYes,ā he says. āYou could wear something way sexier,ā his eyes are on my breasts. āSomething that brings out your curves, you know.āāI donāt have anything to do that,ā I tell him. āAt least not yet.āHis lips curl into a wolfish smile. āBut you will get some from your shopping round today?āāMaybe.āāFor me?āI roll my eyes again. It makes me happy that my mate finds me attractive enough to want me to wear sexy clothes, but Iām not used to being asked to wear that sort of stuff. ā
EmmaIt feels nice coming back to the mansion. Leon hugs me the second he sees me, and even though I can feel Reed getting jealous behind us, he doesnāt intervene. I need to form a strong bond with my familiar, and Reed must understand that on some deeper plane. The day continues with Reed attending some late-night meetings with the council while I spend time with Leon in the garden. Itās still too cold outside to plant anything, but we find pots in the shed and bring them to my room since they can be used for indoor planting. We select seeds of various plants- lavender, mint, basil, and tiny roses -that we could grow in the confines of the room, a mini garden of our own.By midnight, Reed returns from his council meeting, looking exhausted yet satisfied with how it went. Leon has been given his own room, and we are entirely alone. Reed looks at my greenhouse corner with an amused expression.āOur room is turning into a greenhouse, Emma,ā he says as he sits down on the bed, laughing
EmmaIām totally spent and exhausted after Reed ate me out. My eyes are locked on the entrance of the cave, watching through my ragged breaths the water come down while Reed is snuggling me from behind. He is the big spoon, and a flutter goes through me when his hand strokes my belly. āWhat are you thinking about?ā he asks. I breathe a laugh. āThat Iām too weak to walk.āHe chuckles. āAll according to plan.āāYou planned this?āI feel him shrug behind me. āIf you canāt walk, you canāt leave the cave and must spend more time with me. I see it as a complete win.āI snort. āI canāt tell if youāre joking.āāIām not,ā thereās a possessive note in his voice. āIt was my idea to get you a familiar, but now, after seeing Leon, I realize you and I need a stronger bond.āāOh?ā I ask in a teasing tone. āScared I will cheat?āReed pinches my butt, and I yelp. āHey, stop that!ā I swat at his hand and turn around to glare at him. But he doesnāt look one bit sorry. āIf you donāt want to get pinch
EmmaāAre you coming or what?ā Reed asks, causing me to glare daggers at him. Thereās a teasing note in his voice, and when I see his smirk, I know the bastard is up to no good. Those blue eyes of his might look innocent, but I know better than to underestimate my perverted mate. Reed knows I wonāt be able to resist him if I sit down in his stupid lap. If we are that close and intimate, it will be impossible not to breathe him in, and after Iāve done that, wellā¦consider me a goner because my pregnancy hormones are messing with my head. Iām already aroused, and I havenāt even touched him yet!āReed,ā I sigh, still shivering slightly from the chill. āI swear if you start getting ideas...āHe holds up his hands in a mock surrender, an innocent smile dancing across his face. āWho, me? Iām only offering to keep you warm, Emma.āItās tempting - too tempting. I hesitate for a second before scooting over and gingerly settling on his lap. His warm, muscular arms fold around me in a strong em
EmmaReed looks at me like Iāve suggested he open his jaws and rain fire over me. He doesnāt seem comfortable with the idea of letting me, his pregnant mate, climb up on his back at all. Itās actually rather endearing how caring he is in his dragon form. I wonder if dragons are naturally more prone to protectiveness?āOne tiny little ride. I wonāt hold on too tight and scratch your scales, I promise,ā I implore, gazing up at Reed with eyes that I hope reflect my sincerity, although they may also reflect a hint of mischief.In response, Reed sighsāa great rush of air that sends my dark hair billowing around my face.It doesnāt look like he is going to let me ride on him, but then I pout like a puppy, and he rolls his eyes. His three heads have a silent conversation with each other, their gaze flickering between themselves and me.After what feels like an eternity, Reed crouches down to allow me easier access to his back.I watch him, slightly awestruck at his understanding. āReally?ā I
EmmaAs the light fades, I squint in Reedās direction and step back when I hear loud screeching. It doesnāt come from one creature, but three large dragon heads that are glaring at each other as if not getting along. āHoly shitā¦ā I back into Leonās chest with my neck craned to stare up at Reed. His human form is gone, replaced by a towering, draconic beast thatās almost bigger than the entire mansion. My inner wolf whines at my mateās size, and my eyes widen as I take him in as a whole. His skin is covered in shimmering bronze scales that glint with every color imaginable as they catch the sun. Majestic and grand wings from his back are casting a shadow that darkens the entire garden. He has three heads, each unique and terrifying in its own right.āIāve heard two new heads grow out of a hydra if you destroy one of them,ā Leon whispers. āHydra dragons are truly fascinating.āI gulp. āY-yeah, and scary.āReedās heads are snapping at each other, causing me to shrink further into Leo
EmmaOnce we are back at Reed's mansion, Leon's whole face lights up in excitement. "This place is amazing!" he exclaims when he sees the interior and the many paintings of the Alphas and Lunas who led the Grim pack before Reed. "I'm glad you like it," I smile up at my angel companion. "I actually haven't lived here for very long, so I'm quite shocked every time I look around this place. It's so fancy."Leon's golden eyes meet mine. "Where did you live before moving here?""Oh," an embarrassed blush spreads over my face. I know Leon isn't asking to pry, but the truth stings. āIā¦ummā¦I lived in a trailer park with my family.""What's a trailer?" Leon asks before Reed steps in and pulls me into his embrace. "It's a sort of mobile home," Reed replies, his eyes kept on Leon but his hands all over me. It's as if Leon's presence is making him feel territorial. His fingers trace a comforting path along my back as he speaks. "Emma lived there because her family didn't have much money.""Ahh
EmmaAfter eating the most luxurious breakfast Iāve ever had, Reed and I drive out of the city.His contact, who sells familiars, lives in the forest. According to Reed, she is an old witch with the ability to open portals between worlds. Thatās how she finds creatures that normally donāt exist in our world.āAre you nervous?ā Reed asks me as he makes a right turn. The road is surrounded by trees.āA littleā¦ā I admit, and when he glances at me, I realize he expects a longer answer. A sigh leaves my lips. āWill the familiar even be happy to serve? I donāt want to buy a familiar and wind up having a familiar that sees itself as a slave.āāAngora only sells creatures that exist to serve,ā Reed assures me with his eyes on the road. āShe finds those who have been thrown away by the family they used to serve, but sometimes, in rare cases, she takes in baby creatures that will make excellent pets.āāPets?āāMagical cats or pigs,ā he shoots me a smile. āBut you want a mighty creature that can
*** Excerpt / Preview ***āI had hoped I meant more to you. That this wasnāt just about your duty to the moon goddess,ā I mutter, but it doesnāt go on deaf ears. Alpha Reed closes the distance between us, forcing me to drop his suit as he backs me up against the car door with only the force of his piercing eyes. My sweaty palms press against the window, my heart pounding hard in my chest as Iām pinned against the vehicle. Did I piss him off?I take a deep, cleansing breath in an attempt to calm down, but Reed walks closer. He is leaning over me now. His blue eyes are directly in my face, and while part of me fears him, another darker part of me is aroused. How the hell can that be? Who gets turned on by having a man back them into a car? It pisses me off, but the asshole mate of mine smellsā¦freaking delicious. He leans even closerāclose enough that I can feel his minty breath on my skin. āThis isnāt love,ā he whispers in a gravelly voice. āOnly duty and desire.āI scowl at him.Th...
