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

“How are you, Thomas?” I asked as I approached him on his bench outside the barracks. 


Thomas looked up at me, the evening sun setting behind him. “I’m okay. Wondering what the hell is going on with this pack.” 


“What do you mean?” I took a seat beside him. 


He shook his head. “Who would attack the Alpha King? Why would they attack his pack?” 


I shrugged and sighed. “I don’t know. I don’t think anyone knows yet, but they’ll figure it out.” 


I nodded. “I was. This is the first time I’ve been outside since the attack.” My eyes scanned the clearing. “They did a good job cleaning everything up.” 


“It took two days and a lot of water to get it back,” he said in a flat tone.


We sat in silence for a minute, neither of us knowing what to say after that. 


“So, what do you do all day?” I asked. 


Thomas shrugged. “I got assigned to help the omegas clean the barracks every day. Apparently, I’m not allowed to just lie around.”
