Due to an insurgence in rogue activities; wolf groups are finding it essential to forge agreements with other packs to protect themselves … It is largely done by marriages between Alphas and she-wolves of high rank members in another. Snow – who was an abandoned rogue herself; discovered by Amanda, the daughter of the Moonbeam Packs Gamma wolf – is about to be pushed into pre-arranged marriage with an awful, lecher of an Alpha. Neither sister wants Snow to have to marry him — alliance or not – therefore, Amanda helps Snow leave the pack the night before the wedding. Snow finds herself unwittingly intruding onto the Cerberus Pack’s territory; and, ending up protecting their Beta’s young sister from a nasty rogue assault. When the Alpha sees Snow for the first time; he proclaims her to be his mate. She resists at first, even though she’s curiously attracted to him; and, ultimately gives in to her inner-wolf’s need and accepts him as her mate. Meanwhile, the jilted Alpha is angry, and wants Snow back … not out of love, but, out of spite and desiring payback for running out on him. He even goes as far as collaborating with renegade cells to go to war with the Cerberus Pack to get Snow back.

Alpha's Rogue Luna

Jake’s ‘inner wolf’, who has already steadfastly determined Snow to be his mate, seethes to the surface; and, indignantly lashes out by authoritatively growling in a ferocious tone, “Snow’s not a rogue; she’s my mate! … And; she will be this pack’s Luna; and, they will respect her as such!”


     This was Snow’s first glimpse at the underlying rage which dwells down inside of Jake Thornton; and, she was slightly taken aback by it … she even shuddered, and, shuffled back a little, when she first started hearing that almost ‘demonic’ sounding voice emitting from his sinisterly, pursed lips.  Although admittedly, at the same time; Snow … or, more than likely, Snow’s ‘inner wolf’ … was strangely enamored by the intense ferocity; and, somewhat aroused by his ‘wolf’s’ powerfully, domineering presence.  True, she was startled by him; but, also was experiencing some sort of exhilarating, erogenous rush … momentarily causing her nipples to perk up; and, the heat to reappear and rise up in her crotch area. 


     Charles’ response, of course, was a quick eye roll and snap of the fingers. “And, here we go again … looks like someone’s having yet another hissy fit.”  


     And, Annette … who, like Charles … knows her son all too well; just laughs when she hears Charles’ sassy, cavalierly remark.


     Harold places his hand on Jake’s shoulder, and tells him, “Calm down.  I’m not telling you not to take Snow as your mate. … Believe me when I tell you that your mother and I don’t have any objections.”


     Snow immediately thinks … Uh; hello … over here … I object.


     “All I’m saying is that it’s not going to be easy. … You’re probably going to wind up butting heads with most of … if not all of, the Elders on Council.”


     Jake grins.  “Yeah, well; if I remember correctly … you butted heads quite a bit of times with the Elders yourself, while Alpha.”


     Harold grins.  “Yeah; I suppose I did at that. … Good times; good times. … But, still … it wasn’t over anything as controversial as this.”  He briefly stares at Jake, without saying a word; trying to see if he can gauge the fervor behind his son’s conviction.  Then he asks, “Are you sure you’ ready to do this?”


     Jake turns around to look back at Snow, and, gazes upon her with those dreamy eyes of his; and then, smiles at her with those delectably, plump, kissable lips … this is more than enough to cause Snow’s nipples … which were just starting to soften after being aroused by his ‘inner-wolf’s’ rant … to instantly perk up again.  He looks back to his father; and, delivers a resolute, concise, three word affirmation of …


     His father proudly smiles.  “Good.”
