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 hadn’t felt true sunshine on my face in two days. As I stared out one of the living room windows, I could feel the heat from it, but not the accompanying breeze that’d I’d get if I were actually outside. 


Bryant had said I could keep training with Dominic, but he’d taken that back. Instead, the two of us had found this rarely used living room. We’d shoved all the furniture to the side, and that gave us just enough space to train. 


Outside, I watched as Thomas emerged from the forest. His head was bowed, and his hands were rubbing up and down on his thighs. Strange. Why was he in there? Maybe he was allowed, since he wasn’t technically a part of the pack. Jealousy pooled in my stomach.


“I need to run,” I said. I turned around to face Liza, who was sitting on one of the couches and reading another book on sigmas. 


Liza looked up from her book. “Brooding about it isn’t going to make it more likely to happen.” 


I huffed. “I know, but I needed to say it.”
