The Eclipse's Alpha is dead, murdered, butchered and it's up to his son Jason to find his murderer as well as take over the ruling of the pack.
A hunt is organised and the new alpha finds his mate but little does he know, the mysteries enveloping her. He wants to understand her but she doesn't want to be understood. He wants to love her but she's put up a wall. What is he to do, with his stonewalling mate?!

She stood in front of him and ran him her fingers through the fur of his back. Then she pressed her forehead to his and shut her eyes. Why was she suddenly feeling so emotional? Is this what finding your mate does to you? Opening up her eyelids, she stepped back and uttered a single word, "shift," now she was curious to know who her mate was.
"As you wish," Jason said to himself. And he shifted.
The moment June saw who he was, she felt her world come crashing down. Alpha Jason Harold is her mate?! She was stricken and Jason could see that now, "what's wrong?" He whispered.
She shook her head and stepped back. "No," she croaked.
Now Jason was getting very confused, "what's wrong?" He asked again.
"Is this some kind of joke?" June mumbled to herself, "What sort of cruel joke is this?"
Jason moved to touch her, she backed away. "No, please, don't!"
Why was she reacting this way? Jason was getting confused and angry, angry because he had no idea what was going on. What is wrong with her?!
"This is not possible, no, it is not, how, how, please..." June was so disoriented she wanted to cry. Why was the goddess doing this to her? How can the alpha be her mate?
Jason ran both hands through his hair and cursed under his breath, he was getting more confused, angry, and as though to worsen things, she held his gaze for second, shook her head and ran away. Now he was hurt. His mate just ran away from him. What did she call his finding her? Yes, a cruel joke.
Shifting again, he headed back from whence he came.
Adelaide meets her mate on the day she turns eighteen. However, she has a secret that no one knows about, not even her best friend. How long will she be able to keep this secret from her mate? And what will happen when he finds out?

I never heard him make a sound, so his voice makes me jump as I hear him say "I can smell him on you" from right behind me. I turn around and dread fills me as I look into his dark eyes. They're glowing from the light from the fridge. I stumble over my thoughts but manage to squeak out "I thought you were out on a mission for your Alpha?"
"I finished, and now I'm back." His eyes boring a hole through my head. "And I can tell that you've been slutting it up" he says with a look that makes me tremble.
I start to shake my head, to try and persuade him that I haven't been doing anything wrong, but he forcefully grabs my jaw and stops me from shaking it. "You really shouldn't lie to me Adelaide, now I'm just going to have to teach you a lesson" he spits out at me.

This isn't you typical story about werewolves, but I love the idea of mates, so follow these young adults on their journey with a supernatural twist.
