Cold and cruel.
That's who the Alpha of the Creston Bay pack was known to be. Greyson Otaire ruled under a strict dictatorship, knowing that the protection of his pack would always come first. After he was forced to abandon his lands from the threat of the Rogue King, it was time to head back.
Only now, he would return to his lands with his mate, Natalia Hemmings, by his side.
Greyson had sworn off the idea of mates, given up on the entire constitution of it, and after what happened in his past, he knew that not having a mate was best for everyone involved. But now he found her, marked her on sight, and was stuck with her.
As hard as he fought to stay away from her, and as much as he tried to protect her from the demons of his past, the pull between them was too strong. Will the cold last forever or will his mate be able to burn through the wall of ice?

FROST is Book Two of the Animal Instincts series and contains scenes and characters originally mentioned in the first book, Ignite. I've written it so it can be read as a stand-alone novel, but feel free to read Book One to get a good grip on the characters and settings.
It is also a slow burn where you'll enjoy possessive mates, scarring secrets, troubled pasts, unexpected betrayals, and so much more!
If you loved book one, you'll love this one ;)
