"Some things just defy explanation, don't they? Like the fact that you hate me and want me at the same time," his voice rudely infiltrated her mind yet again.
"Stay calm, stay in control," her wolf warned cautiously. "Emotions make deadly mistakes."

Growing up enmeshed in palace politics and intrigue, Zayda has no desire to participate in the mate game, an ancient tradition in the Black Star pack where mates hunt down and claim one another. But her uncle, Alpha Zhuor, has other plans for her when he reveals that wolvens from neighboring Dark Forest have been invited to participate in the annual game.
Despite his prowess as a warrior, Daxin is ostracized within Dark Forest because he is the child of an illicit affair. Barred from his pack's traditional mating rituals, he volunteers to participate in Black Star's mating game in hopes of winning a mate and earning the respect of his pack.
There's just one problem: the girl who steals his heart has no intention of giving him hers, and he's running out of time to change her mind.
Author's Note: I started this story because I was dealing with some writer's block on my first book, A Mate Out of Murder. It takes place in the same world but, at this point, does not intersect or contain any crossover spoilers. For now, this work will only be updated occasionally when I'm feeling inspired or I need a break from the first one.

Unwanted Mates (Black Moon Book One)
"He can die 'cause we haven't had sex?" I say as the weight of what she's just told me hits me like a ton of bricks. "The longer the Alpha stays in that state the more dangerous it gets.

Feral Hearts
A thousand years ago, black witches created the beast bound by enslaving and binding the souls of wolves to demons. Granting them the ability to take human form, and access to the world's magics. After breaking free of servitude, and with more of their land being dominated by humanity, more and more of the beasts have mixed with humankind. With the half bloods losing access to their powers with every generation, the pureblooded wolves have cemented themselves as the alphas of all the packs. The only ones who have retained the might of their magic. There are two rules for a pureblood: 1. Keep your line pure. 2. Bear at least one child. To ensure they remain in control, the punishment for failing in their duty is death. When Natania's mother dies giving birth to her, her father, Alistair, abandons her to be raised by the pack's omegas. Where survival relies on compassion and community over brute strength. After Alistair suddenly reclaims her at ten years old, Natania, desperate to earn her place and her father's approval, must navigate brutal training, pack politics, and a future she doesn't want to face. Grappling with the inequality within the pack, she struggles to unite them under her leadership. But when her heart stirs for Leah, a half blooded wolf in her pack, the weight of her bloodline becomes too much to bear. When a devastating attack shatters their world and a powerful, manipulative alpha is forced upon her, Natania must fight for her very survival, discovering that the greatest threats may come from within her own pack, and her own heart.

An Alpha's Claim
Book 2 in the Rootbridge Pack series. You DON'T need to have read book 1 in order to enjoy this. You'll find a plot summary for An Alpha's Alpha (Book 1) in Chapter 1. J, has been through a lot. 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 may have killed Caine, but his pack need an Alpha and right now, they think it's her. Realising the biggest threat to her pack is herself, J forces herself to leave and set out on her own. 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
