FIRST FOUR SAMPLE CHAPTERS ONLY. www.bethanyshayporteous.com www.facebook.com/BethanyShayPorteous For most wolves packs are a family unit. They always have a safe place to stay and a friendly face to turn to. For Charlotte Anderson, packs represented everything she didn't want in her life. After living away at college for two years as humanly as possible, Charlotte is forced to return home by her estranged Alpha wolf father. Upon arrival, Charlotte is thrust into her own worst nightmare when she discovers she's been betrothed to the recently widowed Alpha of Michigan. In an act of defiance Charlotte makes her escape, only to run into the arms of her true mate, the most feared and ruthless Alpha wolf in the US. With her life turned upside down and with a deluded Alpha on her tail, Charlotte must unravel the secrets of her strong and mysterious mate, while discovering who she really is. Stay tuned and have a look at my free works, The Cheyenne, Mr Mate and His Beloved.

Luna's been a trained fighter since she was five. She witnessed her first murder at age eight, and she killed her first person at age thirteen. But unlike the others she trains beside, Luna is different. She has a gift. The moon is like her own personal energy source, seeing as it gives her the strength and power that others only dream of having. On one mission, she's ordered to kill the innocent. When she declines, she soon becomes the target as others she's trained beside are ordered to kill her. Luna runs and finds herself keeping shelter with an old wise, mysterious woman and her very attractive, overdramatic, irritating grandson. She then sets out to get answers...will she find them? Or will she find herself protecting those whom she's been trained all her life to kill?

"Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry!" My face burned from the embarrassment of tripping over flat ground, and falling on top of a complete stranger, smashing my lips against his in the process. "No problem at all. It was the best kiss I've ever had," He smiled back at me, his beautiful eyes crinkling kindly. * * * Eighteen-year-old Sawyer Adams is too tall, lanky and awkward - the reason why she never gets asked out by boys her age and can't seem to fit in. That is, until she fell over and kissed a stranger in Barnes and Noble.

My life was the same as everybody elses I worked a normal secretary job, I had my own apartement while taking care of my cousin who doesn't want to live with her parents, I don't have a lot of friends and to top it off my boss is an asshole.

“Excuse me!” a woman called from behind us, and we all jumped out of the way as a nurse pushed another bed through the double doors. I caught a glimpse of bright red curls. “That was the donor,” Harry mumbled, “We were so lucky she heard on the radio that Liam needed a kidney donor. She didn’t even know if she would have the right kidney, but she came and got tested anyway. It was a perfect match.” “It was a miracle that we found someone so quickly,” Zayn told me as we made our way back to Liam’s room. “Yeah, she saved his life,” Niall murmured as we all sat back down in the chairs. “She deserves a thank you,” I said, more to myself than to the boys. “Well babe, she said the only way she’d donate her kidney is if we payed her $10,000 for it. I think that’s a good enough thank you,” Harry replied, putting his arm around my shoulders. “What?” I practically shouted, “She’s making y’all pay $10,000 to save Liam’s life?” Harry nodded, chuckling, “Yep.” “Who is this girl?” “I don’t know, she wouldn’t tell us her name.” “Couldn’t you get a family member to dona-” “We didn’t have time. We’re all the way in Florida. His parents and sisters would have had to jump on an eight hour flight, drive here, and then get tested to see if they had the right match. It would have taken too long. This girl’s our only hope,” Harry explained, playing with a piece of my hair. “Besides, $10,000 is nothing if it’s going to save Liam’s life,” Niall said, stretching out his legs and leaning his head back in the chair. He yawned and closed his eyes. “You’re right Niall. If it’s going to save Liam, then pay that freakin’ girl $10,000.”
