Catarina Hutchinson knew how to put on a fake facade, she'd been doing it her entire life. The daughter of a lifelong politician, she was always expected to act a certain way. Look a certain way. Be friends with certain groups and force a smile on her face, regardless of the dark cloud that always lingered in her head. One week long bachelorette trip was just another expectation from her social circle. Little did she know her life would be changed by the end of the week. Jace Alexander was a rancher and a rough around the edges kind of person. He loved his family, the ranch, and a nice cold beer at the end of the day. When his ranch was invaded by a group of sorority sisters enjoying a bachelorette week away, the last thing he expected was to be blind sided by one of them. She's totally out of his league in every way possible, but that didn't stop him from throwing his proverbial hat in the race. They may seem like total opposites on paper, but there is always more than meets the eye.

"River, I...I didn't realize..." I say, and before I can form the rest of my sentence, he strides towards me. I immediately step away and feel the rough bark of one of the nearby trees press into my back. One of his hands grips my jaw, so firm that I wouldn't be able to turn my head away; even if I wanted to. My whole body thrums with desire, his other hand planting itself on my waist. His onyx brown eyes bore into me; it's like being peeled back to my very inner layers, like he can see every part of me. I feel my core light up with want, my breath catching as he stares down at me, angry, lustful, intense. "You are mine." He growls, his tone rough and thick with possessiveness. I'm not prepared for what happens next. MATURE CONTENT 18+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What do you do when everyone and everything you know is destroyed in front of you? For 21-year-old Holly Freeman, the only answer was to run. After barely escaping an unknown pack that ambushed her own, Holly stumbles into the territory of the Shadow Pack: the largest and deadliest pack in North America. Tales of the Shadows kept young pups scared at night, and Holly thought she'd sooner be a lonely Omega before joining them....But what is she to do when she mates with a Shadow member? And not just any member, but the ambitious, ruggedly handsome Shadow Alpha, River Matthews? Holly's heard the stories, the evils he's committed for the Shadow Expansion. Their first meeting like that of oil and water, Holly's at a total loss as to HOW they could be fated. But she's never felt anything so true. Determined to navigate the bond on her terms, and challenging River's command, they begin to find a common ground. Holly and River must learn to become each other's best allies, or risk having a greater enemy threaten not only their love, but the way of life among wolves everywhere.

"Fuckbuddy time, eh?" Shelly frowned at Stefan but said nothing. "Yup." He was unashamed of his ongoing friends with benefits status. "You should try dating instead of just fucking. There's that new girl at the resort. Sheila, I think her name is. She's-" "Not my type," Case interjected gruffly. "Get off my back about making me some one-woman man all the time. I don't bother the fuck out of you to have more fun and get out of the house every once in a while. Don't try to force your views on me to settle down." Because if you only knew who I'd want that with, you'd beat me black and blue. Stefan sighed in resignation. Case knew he reprieve would only last a little while, so he moved quickly to the front door before opening it. "Have fun." Shelly's voice stopped him. There was no judgment in it, and it took everything in Caysen not to turn around and say something-anything-back to her. Before the wrong words could fall from his lips, he simply looked askance over his shoulder at her and nodded his head before walking out the door and shutting it behind him.

He wanted to rule as the ultimate Alpha and prove that he didn't need a Luna to be a good leader. ♕♕♕ She was soft-spoken and timid. Doe eyes that could capture even an Alpha in her stare. Aria is a low-level Omega who is taken as collateral damage when her pack is overtaken by the Imperium pack. Her only priority is survival - no where in her plan did it include coming face to face with her mate.

A whimper slipped past my lips as he backed me to the wall, with every step he took further, my heart pounded against my chest. When the distance between us disappeared, he leaned down and whispered.
