Bella Lore

As an Omega, 17-year-old Sarah is used to being at the bottom of the pecking order, even in her new pack and new high school. But her usually-boring life changes when she turns 18. She expects to shift—and nothing happens.

Now, as if being an Omega isn’t bad enough, Sarah is also human. But Sarah, to her surprise, soon finds her mate: in the pack’s handsome and compassionate Alpha. And the lowly Omega finds herself rocketing to the top of her pack’s status as the new Luna. Just as it seems that life is finally going her way, Sarah learns of a terrible betrayal that results in tragic death, exile, and upheaval of what should have been her storybook ending… Or does it?

Sarah continues her journey, as she is put to the test with just how many life-shattering changes she can take. Will she live as an outcast? Or as the most respected member of her pack?

Sarah joins forces with her trusted and true friend, Ayala. Together, they search for Ayala’s true mate, attempt to unlock her shifter powers, and fend off threats from the deadly Coello. Can they escape his mercenaries, Isaac and Regan? Or will Sarah and Ayala fall prey before they can find their true mates?

Ayala, 18, has always been a hopeless romantic and a dreamer. After a whirlwind year, she’s ready to settle into her new life at the Santa Cruz tree house, with Jasper, Isaac, Regan, and the other members of the pack. When she suggests they host a bonfire, Jasper and the rest agree. It seems like a magical night. But when Ayala leans in to kiss Jasper, he backs away. She’s ready to give up on him as her mate when fate forces them into a cross-country road trip together. Soon, they learn they have more in common than they thought. Might he be her true mate after all?


The Alpha's Mate 

Isaac looks up at us, his eyes pleading. “I know we’ve been enemies to you, but Coello forced us into it. Now he’s gone, and we’re wasting away without our powers. We need your help.”


I notice that, while Isaac speaks, Martell just stares down at his own lap. He hasn’t spoken or made eye contact with anyone since they arrived. He doesn’t seem to agree with what Isaac is saying, or to be very invested in getting our help. 


Nash starts having a whole conversation with Isaac, but I sit down next to Martell. Nash and Sarah have plenty of history with Isaac and Regan, but I’ve met Martell before, when he was training with Sterling in Santa Cruz.


He looks absolutely miserable. The only thing about him that’s still the same are the tattoos on his arms. His muscles have wasted away, his brown eyes are glazed and haunted, his sandy brown hair is limp and flat against his forehead. 


In a hushed voice, I try to draw him out.
