What is happening to me?' I groan in my mind. 'I shouldn't care so much about this human.'
'You care for her because she belongs to you,' my wolf replies.
'She is a human,' I remind him. 'She is stumbling over her words like an idiot. Nope. Absolutely not. I will not take this human as my mate. She is not worthy to be a Luna,'
'You are stubborn to change. Just like the rest of your pack,' my wolf replies.
'I am not like them,' I growl at my wolf.
'Then prove it,' my wolf demands.

Accused of human abuse, Luke is banished and disgraced, he is forced to prove himself to his father before he can return to the pack. Taking a job on a local farm, Luke is mortified to find out that his mate is a human. Luke tries to stay away from Kat because he knows that he will never claim her as his Luna. But the more time he spends with Kat, the stronger the bond between them becomes. Can he put aside his feelings for humans and claim his mate? Or will he let her go?

The Heart of the Texan Alpha

　　Atom leads Scarlett back through the forest. Her tongue is hanging out of the side of her mouth, and she is panting heavily. She jumps into every muddy puddle she can find, sending it flying into the air.

　　I pick up her clothes and try to wring the water from them, but it is an impossible task. The more I twist her clothes in my hands, the harder the rain pours from the sky. I drop her clothes to the ground and sigh, "You are going to have to walk naked."


　　Scarlett growls in protest, but I chuckle at her dismay.
