"Dad's gone," my cousin's voice was barely above a whisper. "You must come home for the Evaluations," she uttered and the phone line went dead.

*****

After Keri's Uncle - the Alpha of the Silver Bullets pack - loses his battle with cancer, the young woman is summoned away from University and back home to take part in the Evaluations - a series of challenges that would help determine who would take on the role of the new leader. 

Once the responsibility of caring for over a hundred werewolves falls on Keri, she must stay with her pack in Woodville, relinquishing her lifelong dream of becoming a lawyer. The young female soon discovers that her new position is even more demanding that she'd always thought it would be, but she is determined to prove herself and justify the trust placed on her. Respected for her good judgment, physical abilities and compassion, the twenty-four year old lacks in one of the most important aspects an Alpha could: she has yet to choose a mate, or so the pack thinks.

Little do they know, Keri has already recognized the man to bear that title, but deciding that his personality and lifestyle might prove detrimental to her wards, she gives up on another dream: the dream of being with someone she could confide in and always depend on. With an unknown enemy determined to ruin the Silver Bullets, never before had Keri needed that man as much as she does now. Things only get worse when he somewhat reluctantly offers his help; now Keri must fight not only the pack's foe, but also herself as she's forced to work with the person her heart desires but her mind does not approve of.

Midnight Wolves by vickz_fox

A spin-off from the Rootbridge series. Callie's wolf is out of control and therapy isn't helping her understand the fragments of memories she has about her mother's murder. So, unable to stay at Rootbridge any longer, she decides to take matters into her own hands and sets out to discover the truth about what really happened to her parents and what really happened to her. But, she gets more than she bargained for when she encounters the beast of Shadow Valley - a creature said to be deadly, half-rabid, untameable. Vikas Gordstrum, first born son to the alphas of the Shadow Valley pack, killed his moon mate on her 21st birthday. Haunted by her death and abandoned by his pack, he has lived on his own for years until one night his half-rabid wolf catches a new scent - one that intrigues him, one that grounds him like no other ever has, one that he doesn't want to let get away. With new revelations turning Callie's world upside down and a betrayer amongst those that she trusts, it will not be easy for her to discover who killed her mother and abandoned her in the forest as a child - nor will it be easy for her to let Vikas walk away after all is said and done. He is not her fated mate. And she is not his. But there is a connection between them that neither could have predicted - but one that they both should have seen coming. Book one in the Midnight Wolves series. Check out the original series: The Rootbridge Pack 1. An Alpha's Alpha 2. An Alpha's Claim 3. An Alpha's Revenge Thank you to the wonderful @VHThompson for the beautiful cover and for inspiring me to continue with Callie's story!

Hybrid's Fury Unleashed by SapphirianJ82

JAREK She's an abomination-a constant thorn in my side. She has no right to be sheltered so closely by my mother and father, the alpha and luna of the Blood Moon Howler Pack. She is not of Alpha blood. Therefore she doesn't belong in this family or our pack. When I become alpha, I will toss her out with the trash. Silver will regret the day my mother found her; I'll ensure that. SILVER I was born partially shifted with my wolf ears and eyes that shift from blue to gold, then silver. My parents rejected me and left me to die at the border of The Blood Moon Howler Pack. Luna Celestia stumbled upon me and pitied the day-old baby who couldn't fend for herself. Jarek has made it his life mission to bully me any chance he gets. Lucky for me, our father, Alpha Maximilian, took me under his wing and taught me how to fight. I have become the fiercest warrior of the pack at only sixteen years old. Sadly due to Jarek and his minions Xillon and Zane, the future Beta and Gamma of the pack, I have been shunned by all of my peers. Will I ever be accepted by anyone in my life? Or will I constantly be rejected? One thing is for sure; once I turn eighteen, I'm leaving. I will make my way in life, even if it means being on my own for eternity. Writer's Note: Hybrid's Fury Unleashed has depictions of verbal bullying abuse. There are mature intimate scenes as well as mature language that are not suitable for readers under the age of 18. Mild gore and assault are also a factor as you get further into the book. With all of this being said; read at your own risk. I'll post trigger warnings as needed. Enjoy your reading and have a fantastic day. Also, please be a dear and don't plagiarize my work. Hybrid's Fury Unleashed is my first attempt at writing a paranormal shifter novel. Please be mindful of this as you proceed. If you notice areas where I can improve my style of writing in this genre please be kind in lending constructive criticism in a kind manner.

The Mahani Wolves by AprilJester

Warning: Paranormal dark drama, mature, adults only! A Content Warning is provided with the trigger list. Please be safe in what you read. (Condensed scene from the POV of Kayla) I can never have children, and I'm sure my mate felt what happened to me. If I ever meet him, he is sure to reject me. It's one of the reasons I always stay in my pack lands. I don't want to meet him. I stare at the beautiful blue sky and head to the coffee café in our little town for a much-needed comfort drink. I'm a few steps away when my wolf starts to go crazy. I stop and lean against a wall while taking a few deep breaths. My pack teaches us how to prevent our wolves from taking over and shifting. This skill saved my life once upon a time. I used it now as she desperately wanted out so we could find our mate. He was in danger. While I may not want to meet him, I don't want him hurt. I fought for control as she wouldn't let up. I started to slide down to my knees just as the most horrible pain hit me. My scream and my wolf's howl came out of my mouth simultaneously. I knew what was happening as I had lived through this nightmare. He was losing his innocence without his consent. The tears streamed down my face as I yelled my anguish. My fellow pack members surrounded me. Someone held me as I sobbed my torment, but I didn't know who. My wolf was no longer fighting for control, just releasing her own loud cries. I would never wish this on my worst enemy, and it was happening to my mate. Just as I thought I couldn't handle more, my heart skipped a beat, a pain I never wanted to feel again, as my entire body shut down. That monster just marked my mate. *** This is a new werewolf world, never seen before. Read at your own risk!

Forged in Fire (Forgotten Series, #2) by AMLKoski

EDITED ~~~~ Book two of Forgotten series. ~~~~ Shey Lazera felt she was not destined to have a mate. She had been rejected so many times she almost enjoyed the fire, the burning that covered her body. Each wave of fire separating her and her wolf, each wave chipping away at her wolf's spirit until she was barely noticeable anymore, her power diminished. She was viewed as weak by the men she was mated to. With her wolf nearly invisible to those around her she was looked down upon as a muddie. A shifter whose wolf hides away from the world in the human side. So it comes as a surprise when she trespasses in a territory, fucks up an escape attempt, and gets dragged soaking wet in front of another Alpha, who refuses to reject her like she wants. ~~~ Luka Sterling had been forced into the Alpha position after an accident killed his two older brothers and his father. He had taken up the mantle to take it off of his fragile mother but he knew it did not belong to him. He was a weak Alpha that had needed constant training just to be ready in case anyone tried to take his position. He was a weak Alpha with no true Beta or mate. He had been rejected once and that had been enough for him to not try again. So he was more than surprised and more than irritated when members of his patrol drug a half drowned dark haired beauty with green eyes as cold as ice, into his office. He hadn't wanted a mate and his first thought was to reject her until she opened her rosy lips and demanded he do just that. Her demands sparks something in his wolf and rejecting her is now he last thing he wants and he demands her submission instead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shey helps Luka figure out just how much of and Alpha he was meant to be and Luka helps her learn just how much she deserves to be loved. And together they discover that strength isn't everything when it comes to being an Alpha.

Heart of Stone (Parts I & II) by Joflower

[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it." -- Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime. Or so everyone thought. She was his second chance. But her heart loved another. Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart. -- **A slow-burning, sensual love story with a splash of humor, a dash of action, and a lot of heart.** Rated PG-13 for adult content (coarse language, violence, and non-explicit sex) [There is a separate R-rated scenes book for those who want steamier scenes] CONTAINS: alpha lycan x human mates, strong female lead, second chance mates, reincarnation (tabula rasa), love-triangles, vampires, action, drama, humor, relatable characters, high stakes, passionate romances VOID OF: "insta-love," extremely possessive, aggressive, abusive alpha mates, Stockholm Syndrome *OVERALL WINNER of 2017 Flower's Awards*

Rejecting the Alpha by Vielle_

Kylie survived the brutal destruction of her pack only to discover her cold alpha mate was the one responsible for the brutal slaughter of her family and pack mates. She can't forgive and she won't forget. Kylie cooperates with his demands while she searches for a way to free the remaining survivors and herself. Success teaches her just how complicated mate bonds can be and gives her the chance to choose her own fate. "Screw the mate bond. If I went for his throat while he was driving in human form, I might be able to kill him right now, and if I didn't succeed, the resulting accident might. I leapt for the front seat, powerful jaw ready to rip out his throat as he had ripped out my family's to take my revenge. Without even taking his left hand off the wheel, he blocked me by getting his right forearm between my jaws. I bit down as hard as I could, wishing to break his bones and sever the limb. Worse, I felt the tingles of our first contact where violence had connected us. The iron of his blood mingled with the other scents around me." (This is a dark story, but not the stereotypical one where she falls in love with her captor. This is the story of escape from a toxic relationship and finding healthy love.) MATURE content including violence, dubious consent, intimacy, and mature and other possibility upsetting themes like threats of suicide and miscarriage. Not intended for the 18- crowd, sorry. #1 in Protective (10/23/21, 02/02/22) #1 in Pack (10/24/21)

Amara Johansen is a wolf shifter who was raised a Nomad, her family never settling down with a pack. That all changes on the cusp of her twenty-first birthday which marks the moment a shifter reaches maturity and can recognize their fated mate. What she does not know, is that her parents chose the Onyx Moon pack knowing Amara's future mate is the Alpha and has been waiting for her. Alpha Maddox Kahale had been counting the days since he first laid eyes on his mate years prior. Their age difference meant she would need to catch up to him and he wanted to give her the space to do that. Maddox wanted his mate more than anything but, he also wanted to give her the freedom to grow into her own and fall in love with him without the pressure of knowing their bond. Even without that knowledge, Amara is instantly drawn to him. On top of adjusting to living with a pack for the first time, she also has to wrestle with her feelings and the possibility that on her twenty first birthday, she might have her heart broken if the Alpha turns out to not be hers. if that was not complicated enough, strange visions and dreams have started plaguing Amara and an attack from a rogue wolf brings up questions about her past. There is danger lurking and secrets that threaten to destroy their lives as they know it. UPDATE: Chapter 46 has been extended with a new portion added. Chapter 48 is entirely new content! Added Epilogue is entirely new as well. NOW OFFICIALLY COMPLETE WITH ADDED CHANGES! A/N This book is complete. This is a stand-alone book in a series. Every book in the Fated Mates series will follow a different character that was introduced in Destiny Untold as they find their mates. There will be LGBT pairings and the characters will come from diverse backgrounds. Representation is important to me and I like my stories to reflect that. Thank you for your time!
