*Aren Calder must fight to become the Shadow queen of Kilrok, and she must give up everything - including her heart - to do so.*
Aren Calder is the alpha of her pack and the only child of the Shadow king of Kilrok. But the king is dying, and succession to the throne of Kilrok is no longer inherited. It must be fought for, won, and earned, and Aren wants nothing more than to be queen.
There are others who would take the throne from her, men like Cavan of Raenglen who have no honor and do not uphold the Shadow traditions, lawless men who would ruin the country that Aren desperately loves. She is a warrior, but Cavan is a powerful Shadow, a Lord and an alpha. She cannot fight him alone, and what's worse is that her father doesn't want her to be queen at all. He betrays her in his desperation, and invites a stranger to claim Aren as his mate, a stranger who usurps Aren's role as alpha of the Blackfield pack and jeopardizes her potential to become queen.
Daven Blackguard is a rogue Shadow, a prince of darkness, and an alpha male. Aren does not want his help, but he initiates a mate bond she cannot ignore and makes her an offer she cannot resist . . . if she earns his loyalty and gives him her heart, if she becomes his mate . . . he will make her his queen.
The wolf in her accepts the alpha in him, but Aren doesn't know if her heart ever will. Every battle she fights, she is slowly losing . . . against assassins, her father's failing health, the loyalty of her friends and packmates, and the darkness of being a Shadow.
*This is a story about an independent, defiant young woman who wants to choose her own love and her own destiny. It is a story about loyalty, love, and choice. It is a work in progress based on a story I have been writing since 2012, and I desperately need Beta readers. I am open to making changes, and Aren's story will be a short part that fits in with the story of two other women with interwoven timelines. They are Fire, and Aren is Shadow.*

A harrowing upbringing was followed by her and her pack being chased by a murderous alpha, Caine, who was intent on owning and destroying J's Alpha, Cassidy. Now, finally, after years of being on the run, J is...safe. She's always been on the outside, a lone wolf with just enough humanity left to attach herself to Cassidy and her pack, but now she's being offered a life in a loving, safe pack, with friends who are practically family. For anybody else it would be a good thing, a chance at happiness, but for J there's just one obstacle standing in her way: The King is dead, long live the King.

She should have known it would never be that easy. Whispers have travelled about Cassidy's protector. About the woman more wolf than most. * Alpha of the Blackoath pack, Logan Black, has been watching J for a while now. Sure, he tried to stop himself but his wolf is obsessed and so is he. Knowing he can never truly have her, he resigns himself to being her unofficial stalker, protector and guardian angel. So, when an underprepared alpha tries to capture her, he readies himself to go to her defence, but he should have known better. As he watches J destroy the pack who'd been sent to capture her, he realises that maybe, just maybe, he's found the only wolf in existence strong enough to match him. Strong enough to be his mate. Strong enough to kill him. However, when it comes down to it, Logan can't quite bring himself to ask the woman of his dreams to end his life, so instead lets her go - and that's where it all goes wrong.Complete

Forged in Fire (Forgotten Series, #2)
EDITED ~~~~ Book two of Forgotten series. ~~~~ Shey Lazera felt she was not destined to have a mate. She had been rejected so many times she almost enjoyed the fire, the burning that covered her body. Each wave of fire separating her and her wolf, each wave chipping away at her wolf's spirit until she was barely noticeable anymore, her power diminished. She was viewed as weak by the men she was mated to. With her wolf nearly invisible to those around her she was looked down upon as a muddie. A shifter whose wolf hides away from the world in the human side. So it comes as a surprise when she trespasses in a territory, fucks up an escape attempt, and gets dragged soaking wet in front of another Alpha, who refuses to reject her like she wants. ~~~ Luka Sterling had been forced into the Alpha position after an accident killed his two older brothers and his father. He had taken up the mantle to take it off of his fragile mother but he knew it did not belong to him. He was a weak Alpha that had needed constant training just to be ready in case anyone tried to take his position. He was a weak Alpha with no true Beta or mate. He had been rejected once and that had been enough for him to not try again. So he was more than surprised and more than irritated when members of his patrol drug a half drowned dark haired beauty with green eyes as cold as ice, into his office. He hadn't wanted a mate and his first thought was to reject her until she opened her rosy lips and demanded he do just that. Her demands sparks something in his wolf and rejecting her is now he last thing he wants and he demands her submission instead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shey helps Luka figure out just how much of and Alpha he was meant to be and Luka helps her learn just how much she deserves to be loved. And together they discover that strength isn't everything when it comes to being an Alpha.Complete

Alpha Black
"What makes you think you have something about your mate to complain about. So what he doesn't spend all his time with you." I growl at my friend whom is complaining about her mate. "I would give anything to have my mate at least acknowledge that I'm here. My mate doesn't love me. He is cold and all I asked for was for someone to love me. I sleep in a guest room, I barely sleep, I don't have arms wrapped around me to protect me from my bad dreams or my nightmares of my past, you have nothing to complain about, my mate treats me like I'm not even there. But here you are. Complaining that you think yours has been distant. At least you have someone to comfort you at night when your sad or scared." I yell at her with tears down my face before running off out of the house and into the woods. Little did I know, Black was listening... The whole time. My name is Katalien Chinkcato. I am a legendary werewolf with a wolf form that has Phoenix colored fur. I am a powerful wolf sent to earth by my mother whom is the moon goddess. I was given a mate with no heart and no feelings of love or mercy. His name is Darnel James Black. The alpha of the Blackwood pack. The strongest pack in America. Maybe even the world. With a pack of almost 7,000 wolves and a territory that expands over 5 states. He has 5 betas and 5 thirds. One beta and third for each state. His main state is Colorado and the other states boarder it. His wolf stands at 8 feet tall. And it's pitch black. This beast has been given to me as a mate and I know I accept and love him. But I pray to my mother, to help him find it in his heart to accept and love me back. Rated #2 in AlphaBlack 3/2/2020Complete
