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 

Nash and I sink gratefully into the hot water, inhaling the fragrant, herbal steam. I let Stella sit on the warm tile around the hot tub and dangle her feet into the water, though she still finds the tub a bit too hot to enjoy.


“I hope they find something,” Nash says, biting his lip. He seems worried. “I just want her to be healthy, and to have a good life. If there’s something we need to be doing, or watching out for, we should know about it.”


I take his hand, lacing our fingers together under the water. “She’s perfect just as she is, and she seems happy and to be doing fine. Juliana says she’s growing well and hitting all the same developmental milestones that Samuel did, which is a good thing.”


“Yeah,” Nash says, but he still sounds nervous. “It’s just that we’re so young, and my parents aren’t around anymore, and yours aren’t either, so I wonder if there’s something we’re missing about raising a baby shifter.”
