alpha dark drama fantasy haunting love mates mystery paranormal power romance seductive sexy spooky werewolves

Xander Salvador knows that he is destined to be the Alpha of the Woods Canyon Pack. He's felt it in his soul his entire life, even through all the taunting and ridicule he's suffered over the disgrace of how his parents died. But The Claiming is drawing near. The ancient, and some say barbaric practice, where the strong and worthy males battle for the right to be Big Dog often ends in death. But in order to join the battle and step into his destiny, Xander must first claim the heart of his chosen mate, Antonia Montgomery.

Toni doesn't have time for love. She's driven to take the reins of her ailing father's company and prove that she can keep it at the top of its game. Her eccentric aunt's tales of werewolves and bizarre mating rituals have no bearing on her life. Until she's bitten by a wolf one night and her safe, structured world begins to spiral out of control. Now, strange things are happening to her body and her mind, and the mysterious sexy man who always seems to be watching has her wondering if her aunt's wild tales could be true.All Rights Reserved

My Broken Luna by awesomepriscilla

"Stop. Stop, please." I sob as the whip comes down on my back once more. "Shut up yo-" my tormentor's words are cut off by a ferocious growl. I sense another masculine figure in the dark room, but can't make out a word he's shouting. The burning and searing pain that I'm experiencing is just too much. A sickening snap is heard and something drops onto the cold, stone flooring. The chains around my wrists and ankles are broken along with the tight metal collar around my neck. "Mate." my rescuer growls, gently cradling me in his arms. ********************* Charlotte Beck has been tortured and abused by the Red Stone pack ever since she turned eight. She doesn't know why they hate her or how she ended up a lower rank than the Omegas; no one even bothered to label her as a slave. She has never known the true meaning of love or how it felt like, all Charlotte knows is that her pack surely doesn't feel that way about her. Finding a mate was a dream that was thrown out the window long ago; all of the verbal abuse led her to believe that she didn't deserve one. It's not until she attempts to escape again that she realizes that she has a chance of living a better life, one where abuse isn't an everyday thing. Xander Reynolds, Alpha of the Lunar Shadow pack, finds her when she's taken to his cells as a trespassing prisoner. Known as the strongest Alpha in the continent, he does everything he can to protect his mate. The only problem is that she's too emotionally scarred to allow him to. His dark and violent reputation is the only thing that Charlotte knows about him. The memories of their childhood together beaten out of her mind. Traumatized and high on fear, she struggles to let down her walls. Her real home is with a man who she cannot remember and a brother who she wishes she remembered. Can Xander get his mate to love him? Or will Charlotte let her past keep them apart?

An Alpha's Duty by Littlepearl95

Ryan King is an Alpha desperately trying to hold his pack together. Between the blood thirsty enemy packs wanting to take what's his, a council that seems permanently against them and the arrival of his very unexpected mate, Ryan will have his work cut out to protect everyone he loves. He thought he understood his world and the people around him but things are not what they appear. Can he and his new mate figure out their entwined, dark history? Can they be the first to break the cycle? Or will they succumb to the curse that has haunted both their kinds? *********** They were under attack. Suddenly everything happened all at once. The two wolves partially shifted and attacked the closest enforcers to them. Throwing them into walls with ear shattering cracks. Although the enforcers were all paranormals, not one of them could best the brute strength of a shifter in one to one combat. Ryan could hear the growling of his pack far too close to the house for it to be a good sign. "They're coming!" Ryan saw the old seer point avidly towards the window as a huge timber coloured wolf crashed through the panes. **************** Highest ranking: #16 in eroticromance 09/05/2018 #01 in shadowwalker 02/08/2021 **Warning this book is for mature audiences and contains sexual scenes and swearing.
