ON GOOD READ SO YOU CAN ADD TO YOUR COUNT I was human once... until the Alpha King called me little mate. Nineteen-year-old Tahlia Moore never believed in fate. She worked at a bookstore, worried about rent, and lived a perfectly ordinary life-until she attended her best friend's mating celebration and made eye contact with the wrong man. Malakai Hawthorne. Alpha King of North America. The most powerful wolf alive. The mate bond hit like lightning. Impossible. Unprecedented. In three thousand years of werewolf history, no Alpha King has ever had a mate-especially not a human. When she runs, he chases. When he catches her and growls "little mate," everything changes. Now she's trapped in his world, fighting for acceptance in a nation that sees her as an abomination. The Elder Council demands Malakai reject her or lose his crown. Rival Alphas plan her assassination. And an ancient prophecy declares she'll either unite the fractured packs or watch them drown in blood. But Tahlia isn't just human. Dormant magic sleeps in her veins-power waiting to ignite. When she passes the brutal Moon Trials and achieves the impossible, she proves she's worthy of standing beside a King. Two souls. One heart. A love that will reshape a nation.

He rejected her, his mate. He didn't want a human as a mate and even though it was quite rare to have one, he beat the odds. A weak little human would never survive in a world of werewolf's. A year later they meet again, only different. When attending a meeting with all the pack Alpha's in the country is when he sees her. She is no longer weak; she is a full supernatural and has the blood of every kind running through her. How did this happen? He was certain she was human just last year and it's impossible to have every type of supernatural blood to run through your body and not tear yourself apart from each of their urges. I think it's safe to say he wants her back now . . . but will she accept him or just reject him like he did to her?
