In a mystical town, two powerful beings are about to collide-Sterling Elwood, a 237-year-old Hellhound king, and Everleigh Simmons, an 18-year-old werewolf struggling with her loyalties.
Everleigh lives in the peaceful mountain region, the heart of her pack's territory, where her father, Garrick Simmons, is the revered Alpha. While she embraces her role in the pack, she feels drawn to the secrets hidden in her world. Far beyond the mountains lies the treacherous lands of the Hellhounds, ruled by Sterling, a towering creature of unimaginable strength and dark magic. Thought to have been wiped out centuries ago, the Hellhounds have secretly survived, building their numbers to overthrow the corrupt Alpha King who rules over all the packs.
Aurelius Blackwood, the Alpha King, is viewed as a savior to the packs-charismatic, just, and powerful. But as Everleigh uncovers more about the King, she begins to realize his true, sinister nature. Beneath his facade of goodwill lies a ruthless ruler determined to maintain his grip on power. Sterling, an immortal Hellhound, is prepared to challenge the Alpha King, and Everleigh's fate becomes tied to his in ways she never expected.
On the night of the solstice, a bite from Sterling will forever change Everleigh, binding her to him and forcing her to confront her deepest fears about loyalty, power, and betrayal. With war looming, Everleigh and Sterling must navigate their complex bond while facing the truth about the Alpha King's evil-and the consequences of standing against him.
"The Hellhound's Mate" is a thrilling tale of forbidden love, magic, and power in a world where immortals fight for control, and one choice could alter everything.

She ran from danger.
But fate made her run straight into him.
Ava Sterling's life was ordinary-coffee, city lights, and the freedom to belong to no one. Until one moonlit night, she crashes into a world where dominance rules, secrets breathe, and eyes that glow gold can make your heart forget how to beat.
Lucian Blackwood.
Alpha King. Ancient. Dangerous. Ruthless.
He's waited centuries for his fated mate. And when he finds her, he'll do anything to keep her.
But Ava isn't the fragile, submissive mate he imagined.
She's fire in human form-sarcastic, bold, and untamed.
Every time he gets close, she slips away. Every time she runs, his wolf grows wilder to claim her.
Desire turns to obsession.
Fear turns to longing.
And when their worlds finally collide, the moon itself will tremble.
Because loving an Alpha King isn't just forbidden-
it's dangerous, intoxicating, and will burn them both.
