A year ago, everything was different. I had just left my home, joining the infamous Mountainside Pack. The daughter of an omega wolf, I've always been prized - but not as prized as I would be if my new packmates found out my secret. But when my fated mate - Mountainside's Alpha - rejected me in front of his whole pack council and my secret got out, I realized I had one choice. Going lone wolf was the only option I had, and I took it.

I was born a mistake, a hybrid unwanted. I act tough, soft inside to survive. All I need is a savior. Here he comes. As my fated mate, he triggers my innermost itch to love, but he loathes and rejects me like I'm worthless.

I keep my head down. In this backward pack, females rank low, and my bad leg makes me damaged goods. It doesn’t help that I’ve never shifted. I don’t mind the late-20s single life, though. No one’s paying any attention as I build an illicit farmer’s market empire. My roomies and I are doing it for ourselves, and if life under Killian Kelly is stifling, at least it’s predictable. We can deal. But when biology finally kicks in, I lose my mind. I claim our alpha as my mate. And he rejects me in front of the whole pack.

Attending a small college in the middle of nowhere was never my plan, but when I was offered free tuition and the promise of an excellent education, that plan changed. It would’ve been nice to know I would be one of the only humans on campus. It’d be even better if a certain bossy shifter didn’t claim me as his fated mate. Alexei is arrogant, acrimonious, and the worst A-word of them all: an alpha. But I can’t deny the way my body responds to him. No matter how many warning flags are waving around in my head, we gravitate toward one another. It’s primal. Passionate. Painful.

When my family left our small, ultra-conservative pack back in Utah to join a giant pack in Northwest Louisiana, I thought I'd be able to coast through my last year of high school in semi-anonymity, then get the f--k away from wolf pack politics and just live my life for awhile. But the Moon decided to prolong my torture by placing my fated mate in front of my face on my first day at Blackstone Academy. He's the Alpha's son and king of a school crawling with shifters, and it turns out he doesn't care to be saddled with a Moon-chosen mate who he thinks is a nobody omega wolf.

I am many things, but a supernatural being is not one of them. At least not until a crescent mark appears on my wrist and everything changes. I’ve been marked by a wolf goddess, yet no one knows what that means, myself included.

Fate has a wicked sense of humor. When I was 16, I met the love of my life in magic school. He'd appear exactly once a year at the annual masquerade ball, then vanish... Fast forward to the present: To the night I’m attacked and my hidden wolf emerges. As it turns out, I’m a freakin’ hairy, tail-wagging, shape-shifting werewolf so instead of returning to the human world after graduating, I’m dragged to Moon Valley to control my inner beast. Only problem is, I’m not just a wolf. And someone wants me dead because of it. When I meet the alpha heir, sparks fly.

Sophia Briar is a lone wolf. On her own since age 14 when her parents died, Sophia isn’t used to being around other shifters. In fact, the one time she did run into a pack, she met her mate - and he rebuffed her. Sophia’s fended for herself all these years, and now, in Michigan, she’s desperate to create a new life for herself. The only problem? It seems her mate has found her, and this time, he isn’t letting her go.

As the adopted and weakest member of my pack, I’ve always been an outcast and mistreated, especially since I've never been able to shift into my animal form. Every time I try to find a way to escape my personal hell, my pack leader stops me, vowing that I'll never be free from him.

As the only wolf-shifter in my pack not to shift, being rejected from my home when I turned 18 was not unexpected when the shifter war was so close. But being sent to a secret academy full of immortal wolf-shifters, demons, and teachers with no morals wasn’t something I planned for. Luna Alpha Academy is for rejects only. They choose wolves that no one cares about if they go missing, and if I can survive long enough to learn the dark magic they teach, I might even be welcome back home as a wolf-witch.

My heart was left shattered into a million jagged pieces. To survive, I did the only thing I could and forced myself to play the part of the perfect girlfriend. The perfect daughter. Because, no one wants someone broken. But now, the boy who owned my heart is a grown man - hardened and cold. Seeing Aidan four years later forces me to face my greatest fear, and realizing he is my fated mate only makes things worse.

It’s obvious Eli, the alpha-in-waiting, thinks he’s special, but I’m not fooled by his dreamy eyes and British accent. A wolf has gone missing in Eli’s pack, and he doesn’t appreciate that I run my investigations alone.

After my nightmarish past, starting fresh should be a dream come true. But when my father’s death leaves me on the run, I have no choice but to seek shelter with the only family I have left: an uncle I’ve never even met.

I'm fine being the pack wallflower until my fated mate rejects me, sending me off to lick my wounds with my sister's pack. I build a comfortable life with the new pack, content to settle where I am as I ward off suitors whose interest isn't entirely noble.

After years of constant criticism, I finally escape the alpha of the strongest pack - my father. It’s a chance to have a new beginning and to live on my own terms, in my own way. The first day at college, I find more than what I bargained for. My fated mate. Something that any wolf rejoices in finding. Except, he’s forbidden - a human. The weakest race on Earth and someone my father would kill without any hesitation.

After my nightmarish past, starting fresh should be a dream come true. But when my father’s death leaves me on the run, I have no choice but to seek shelter with the only family I have left: an uncle I’ve never even met.

Meeting his mate should have been cause for celebration. There's just one teeny-tiny problem. Jade thinks Ark might have impregnated her sister.

She's his mate, plain and simple. Gorgeous wood nymph Mia Oliver is on a mission: Find a suitable male to get her good 'n' pregnant and provide her with an heir.

Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

Leaving my husband was hard. Trying to face the world alone with my teenage daughter is the sort of thing nightmares are made of, but I caught a break.

When Luna is discovered in the swamps near the neighboring wolf pack's territory, the Alpha instantly knows she's the rarest of treasures--his True Mate. From there, everything goes wrong. The pack doesn't understand Luna, and their customs are foreign to the young, lone wolf. Soon, their leader must make a terrible choice--to save the young wolf he's just met, who put the pack in danger, or put the pack first and lose his True Mate by severing their bond.

Unlike other werewolves, I never wanted a mate. I would rather teach stupid mortals than inherit my family business as my father wished. Because I hated my blood. But I met her, in a bar, on a chaotic night. She's so distinguished, and her scent drove me crazy. With all my strength, I forced myself to leave because I didn't want to entangle this innocent girl in my abyss. But she reappeared in my class. Loving her seemed to have already been written in my genes, and I couldn't resist her no matter how hard I tried.

My life was a mess, I had one shot at staying in my pack and gaining protection, and that shot just happened to be a male who wanted nothing to do with me. He’s my boss, my protector and a male I would like to call a friend. Unfortunately my wolf didn't seem to agree with me and when she recognized him as our fated mate, I had no choice but to listen.

Mating to my date’s invisible sister? my wolf must be crazy...I lived a perfect life with enormous power and fortune. Until I turned twenty-one when I found my fated mate. In my date's pack... Fated mating to an unshifted?! That must be kidding. I rejected her immediately, ignoring my wolf’s crazy moaning to possess her. But when my selected wife proposed to kill our mates, I began to hesitate. And finding out that she was the same age as my missing Beta's daughter, I realized it was a huge mistake...She's mine...But maybe it's too late...

As the daughter of my pack’s lame wolf, I’m an outcast, a social reject considered unsuitable for mating. My life is a daily grind of drudgery, humiliation, and abuse.

This could be the end of my problems, a happy life filled with acceptance, but when I shift, I become a monster.
