My free hand swept around her and pressed her lower back, so we crushed together. The hand that was in her hair dug in and cupped the back of her head. Tingles spread from every point of contact until my body was on fire. I burned for her. 

I harden against her.

Tallia gasped, but didn't pull away. She stared up at me in awe with her pupils blown wide. The scent of our arousal mixed and swelled around us. 

Her hands came up to my chest and her fingers dug in, like she'd claw me if I even tried to pull away. 

"I'm done running, my mate," I said in a low growl.

When a seer informs Alpha King Bryant where to find his mate, he hits the ground running. He never could have predicted he'd find a human that confuses both him and his wolf. When Tallia is bitten by a shifter and changes into a wolf herself, all bets are off.

Queen of the Shifters

Thomas and I strolled around the clearing that edged the forest and surrounded the house together. The early afternoon sun was high and made my scalp prickle as it beat down on us. But despite that, there was a nice cool breeze that swept across the clearing every now and then that made it all worth it. 


He was a quiet man, but I didn't mind. I think maybe he was just happy to be out of the dungeons and free to smell the air again. 


"Where are you staying?" I asked as we rounded the back side of the warrior barracks. They were situated behind the house.  


"In there, actually. Thankfully, they gave me my own room," he said, pointing at the barracks. 


"Do you want to leave, or are you happy here?" I asked. 


Thomas sighed and shook his head. "I don't know. I think this is where I need to be for right now, but eventually I'll leave to find a pack I can join." 


"I can't thank you enough for what you did, Tallia."
