Jack Wright and his partner have climbed to the top since their hybrid tech-magic security startup became a wild success. He's pursued, envied, and confident he can charm people into doing exactly what he wants them to do.
But deep down where he'll never admit it, the only thing he really wants is to find the elusive mate he's been looking for all this time.
And he does find her, only to discover she's about as different from him as she can be. She's nature to his tech, herbivore to his carnivore, gentle to his feral, but still as quietly stubborn as can be with her own plans and ideas.
He doesn't care that they're different, and now all he needs is to convince her that she doesn't either.
This story is a stand alone spin-off/sequel to Rejecting the Alpha. It can be read entirely alone but there are spoilers for the earlier story.

Simply Mates
"It's not that I don't want you," I tell him softly as I wring my hands together. "Because I do, it's just complicated." "It's not complicated." He states, his voice hard and cold. "We're simply mates. There's nothing complicated about it." My heart flutters at his words, before sinking further into my chest and my skin buzzes with pleasurable electricity, before dulling into a a slight tickle. He's right, but he's wrong and he knows this. "It's not that simple." His head snaps towards me. His eyes darken and widen as his wolf pushes forward. His teeth begin to sharpen into fangs and his nails lengthen into claws. He's shifting. "Are you rejecting me, love?" He questions darkly. ~~~~~~~~~~~ This features characters from my other story "I Won't Give In". Although this is a stand alone book, there will be some spoilers of "I Won't Give In" and it is recommended to read "I Won't Give In" first. :)Complete
