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

I didn't want to leave Tallia or my pack so soon after the attack, but the next day I had a council meeting. Thankfully, I lived within a few hours’ drive from the center where we held them. 


Cohen, the Vampire Master, was droning on about more and more reports of vampire attacks on humans. Sure, that was a big deal, but not for me. There wasn't much I could do about it. The vast majority of shifters didn't live in cities, preferring packs that had their own land in the middle of nowhere. 


Amelia, the human President, however, was quite concerned. Understandably so. If vampires were out there attacking it was a big deal for humans, especially if they were being turned against their will, which it seemed like some of them were. 


Finally, the meeting ended, and we all stood to gather our things. 


"You will speak with me, Bryant," Anthea said from behind me.
