The long awaited sequel to "Submission" is here. BJ and DJ are all grown up. They've focused on the pack and finally have found their mate. But she's not so sure about being anyone's mate. Can they find out her past and help her find her way past it and into a happy future with them? Excerpt: What caught my senses, made my eyes sharpen, my wolf go on alert, was the young woman who had just arrived. She hugged my sister and was already smiling and laughing as she greeted others. Beautiful, like lightning to my brain. Captivating, the entire world seemed to brighten with her in view. Damn, I thought, who was she? I'd never gotten this reaction with a girl ever before. Why was she so different. With out thinking or making a decision I walked slowly but with purpose. The rest of the world fell away until it was just her. Even through the den of noise, the onslaught of smells, I could hear her wonderful laughter and smell the subtle sent of Rose from her. Was it lotion, shampoo, maybe perfume? I wanted to wrap her tight in my arms and bury my nose against that delicate neck. I'd inhale that smell deep and let my wolf roll in her smell. As I got closer that rose smell gave way to her natural scent. I was only six feet from her now. Her back was toward me. Thin shoulders, tiny waist, perfect hips, nice round ass, legs on display since she wore very short shorts. I recognized that shifter smell. She was a lioness. They were kick ass and had courage to spare. As she was laughing it suddenly hit me why she was drawing me in making my pulse run like she was an aphrodisiac. Only one reason for so immediate and strong reaction. She was my mate. Warning: Contains relationships between people far apart in age. Also contains references, and sexual scenes between family members. References to mistreatment from parental authorities.Complete
