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 

I wake up with a start. For a minute, I forget where I am, and then I hear the chain jingling against my collar.


Right. I’m in the cellar of the Rogers Lake pack ranch. They jumped on me when I was on my way back to Caleb, locked a silver collar on me, and took me here. 


Caleb. That’s why I awoke. The amulet around my chest is glowing and pulsing. I wrap my hand around it, trying to understand what that means.


With the collar on, my powers are nearly impossible to access, but if I can just break through the magical barrier it’s created, I will be free. 


I close my fist tightly against the amulet, doing my best to access its magic. I put my other hand on the claiming mark, feeling it throb in my flesh.


I close my eyes and take a deep breath. Even though I can’t shift into my wolf form, I can still access her, somewhere deep within me. She’s there. I know she is.
