Aliya Matsuoka meets "him" in her dreams - a regal yet unexpectedly shy man. But strangest of all, he always meets her in the forest, where their instant bond escalates into a sensual night beneath the stars. In waking reality, a monstrous ex blurred Aliya's judgment on whom to trust. She won't even kiss most dates, let alone "get down and dirty in the leaves" with a gorgeous stranger. When Aliya follows an uncontrollable urge to retrace her dream's steps, reality surpasses her wildest imagination; she's living amongst Lycans, shapeshifters who can morph into wolves at will. Outspoken for his "untraditional values" that Lycan sexes should have equal rights, shy Alpha Noah Greenfield faces constant pushback from other Alphas who thrive on dominance. As Aliya and Noah's fated love transcends all bonds, Aliya unleashes her desires. But diving into this paranormal fairytale isn't enough to erase Aliya's trauma; there's always a chance another monster could follow her home. **This is an EXCERPT from the rough draft of My Shy Alpha: Book 1 of the Steamy Shifter Romance Series, now available on KU and as a paperback and hardcover in global bookstores!

Amora has always wanted a mate, she yearned for someone to love and care for her, someone to replace all those years of loneliness. Epiales craved power, after being appointed Alpha when his brother was too weak to lead he was hellbent on becoming the most dangerous pack in England and to do that he needed his mate. _____________________________________________ "You're breaking my heart!" Amora cries, clutching her chest tightly as her body racks with sobs. Epiales, who was still standing in the door way, looked away, unable to stare at her anymore and for the first time in a long time, he felt a searing pain shoot through his heart, it felt as though she had came and ripped it right out of his chest. He took a deep breath and walked out the door, leaving Amora more broken than she already was.

Cruel. Vicious. Malicious. Dangerous. Heartless. That is what they described him as, and he was nothing less than that. He was the alpha king, and god help the ones who angered him. He believed he would never get a mate.. But fate had other plans. And when he laid his eyes on her, he knew.. She was all that he ever wanted. --------- Amora is a kind, sweet and innocent woman with the heart and appearance of an angel. Perhaps she would be his light.. If only she didn't want to run every time she saw him. But a king never gives up. And an additional downside..she's human. --------- 'I SAID HAND HER TO ME!' I started shuddering with fear as well as because of the cold. The man slowly pulled me from behind his back and I cried harder as I looked at the ground, holding myself to calm myself down. Kane slowly took two steps towards me, his tall height towering over me, I only reached his mid-chest.. He slowly caressed me softly into a warm hug..before his grip completely tightened..to the point it slightly hurt. He pulled away suddenly, grabbed my jaw and made me look into his face. He looked psycho.. Like he had gone crazy..combined with so much anger. He had such a dark angered expression on his face I sobbed more looking into his eyes. 'If you ever try to leave me again. I will kill him. And that's a promise.' He said holding the gun at the man in front of his head.

HIGHEST IN WEREWOLF - #22 Josie Renyolds had always been the kindest girl in the pack. She would never call anyone a name, be the friend to someone who needed it, and would never judge a book by its cover. Jayden Parker, the soon to be alpha of the pack, didn't want a mate. He saw what happened to his father after his mother died, and he didn't ever want to experience that. When the alpha turns eighteen and realizes that sweet little Josie is his mate, Josie is in for the ride if her life, and it may not end the way she expected.

* "It is finally time for me, King of the Alphas, to come out of the darkness of my misery and awaken. For she is calling for me." * Description in book.

They say opposites attract. But what happens when a rogue and an Alpha who both crave chaos end up being mates? It seems like Moon Goddess has made her first mistake. ______ I tilt my head, scrutinizing him. He did the same. A frown tugs on my lips. He did the same. "Copycat," I breathed out. A smile reaches his face and his eyes twinkle with curiosity. His stares bore into me as he eyes me up and down, pride swelling in his chest. He opens his mouth to speak, "Pleased to meet you, mi amor." "It's a pleasure to meet you, too, mate." ______ I'm definitely not a professional writer or any of that sort so mistakes in terms of grammar and plotholes will be inevitable

Gabriela Castillo arrives at a real-life castle to visit her half brother. The moment she sets her eyes on the monstrosity it nudges something familiar in her brain. However, only after glancing into a pair of pitch black eyes does she realize that it's no ordinary castle, after all. It's the one and only werewolf castle. Gabriela knows this because she isn't a human. She is a witch. While there is nothing wrong with a witch visiting the werewolf castle, Gabriela's predicament isn't as simple. She is a wanted witch, hiding her true nature with a masking spell. This means that the werewolves have no idea who she is. Except for one. Inside the werewolf castle Gabriela meets the notorious Alpha King whose scrutinizing eyes make her feel like he can see straight through her spell. Right from their first meeting he shows an unexplained interest in her. However, because Gabriela is too busy trying to hide her identity, she doesn't consider another important question that might change everything. What if there is something more between her and the Alpha King? Original photo for cover by Oleg Magni from Pexels

Quincy: I'm a human living among the werewolves. My mom is a werewolf. She had a drunken fun one night with a stranger, a human. The union was not supposed to bear an offspring. I'm not supposed to happen, but here I am, an outsider. They all hate me but my Nana loved me. Then Nana died. They moved me to the pack house. Now, their old Alpha three times my age wants to make me his. That is not the life I signed up for. My Nana nurtured me a dream to go off to college. So I run. I run not because I'm a coward. I run to save myself. I will have nothing to do with their kind anymore. I'll be a normal human among other normal humans. I'll be so normal, even the most average normal humans will feel like freaks next to my normal ass. They will bow down before me and call me Queen Normal. Then I see him. The best specimen of men...but I know he's not human. He's not a werewolf either, so what is he? There's this pull between us but I know I shouldn't get close to his kind...whatever he is. The trouble is, he won't leave me alone. Caspian: I've been looking for my erasthai for decades. My mother dearest, the queen of all werewolves and lycans is pressuring me to marry Lady Celeste.

The most beautiful mesmerizing creature ever, and she's mine! I thought it's going to be easy. It should have been easy. Come on, ALL girls want me. I mean, look at me. I'm gorgeous! Mirrors weep when I walk past them. She refused to give me the time of the day. Well, too bad princess. I'm not about to let you get away. I'll crush all other competitions. I'm Prince Caspian. I always get what I want.
