As an Omega, the lowest-rank werewolf in any pack, Claire is confident her smoking hot Alpha can't be her mate. But she's wrong -- not just about him, but also about her place in the werewolf world. ***** Adopted into a family of Omegas, the lowest-ranking werewolves in the Mistwood Valley pack, eighteen-year-old Claire Masters is more concerned with her schoolwork and her adorable little brother than pandering to pack politics. But when Nathanial Groves, the pack's inescapably attractive Alpha, steps into her life, her entire world is thrown into disarray. Because Claire can't help feeling drawn to him -- irresistibly so -- and it's distracting her from the growing danger looming over her town and her family. A mate is the last thing she has time for, but can Nate be ignored? [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

"darling, eat," he would tell me. "you're so thin." [ short chapters; #4 in the red bullet series ]

Being a single parent is hard. You often thought that you couldn't do it. That it was going to be too stressful, too hard, and too lonely and one-sided, since the other half of guardianship isn't there. You and Tokyo's most powerful and high ranking officer had your fair share of problems. Both of you focused on taking care of your child alone and raising them to be the child you wanted them to be. To act like a child who had both parents. To act like he had the support of a father and the unconditional love of a mother. You both didn't need another relationship because your kid is the only thing you love now. Both of you only want what's best and necessary for them, but children have their ways. It's surprising what two small children can do in a span of time. It's surprising that two small children brought together stubborn single parents.
