Mated to the Wizard

Avery Daniels has waited years for her mate. After a trip to New York looking for him, and no use, she goes on a run to free her wolf for a bit. But what she's been looking for is lurking in the bushes, and Avery is beyond shocked when he's not a pure blood, and he's making no move to claim her.

Everest Black is half wizard, half wolf. Receiving verbal and physical abuse from his father all his life impacted him. Badly. Now, with a four year old son under his wing and no optimism left, finding his mate is the last thing on his mind.

"I really had you pegged as a brainiac." A husky voice sounds from behind me, sending shivers up my spine. Electricity crackles in the air between us and I sit completely still, coffee in hand and book open in front of me. "Yet you're researching my history, so you can't be. I mean, wizardry is common knowledge, is it not?" my eyes flick to the side, where he is pulling up a chair next to me. I watch him fold his hands in his lap cockily and lean back against the wooden chair, causing it to cry out under his weight.
