Until one day her past catches up with her, and she is forced to immerse herself in the supernatural world. Offered protection from the local wolf pack, she is forced to accept it, but nothing in the supernatural world comes for free.

When his uncle demands he choose a mate or be kicked out of the pack, Hunter knows there must be some way around it. He’s too young to settle down, especially not with someone he barely knows. And then he catches sight of an omega in a cage and comes up with a plan to help them both. Cade just wants to go home. He hadn’t planned on being abducted by wolves, locked in a cage, and forced into a mating. So much for shifter hospitality. When he catches the attention of Zane, a dangerous, unstable alpha, he knows he needs a champion. Enter Hunter, a dormant alpha shifter with a temper, who wants Cade for reasons the omega doesn’t understand. Cade is determined to make a break for it and escape to the safety of his den. But when Hunter risks everything for him, even his life, Cade can’t just turn his back on him. Not with his growing feelings for the alpha. Saving Hunter turns both their lives upside down, revealing a secret Cade has done his best to keep hidden; within the dens, the shifter world is very much alive.

Over time I lost what little strength I had, until I never left my room, almost bedridden, my only contact with the outside world online classes.But when I turned eighteen, I had to make a change or I’d end up dying here, old and alone and without any hope. So now I have my small apartment in a new town, living on my own for the first time and attending classes at the local community college. My parents’ insurance is running out, but I have a job in the school library, and as long as I take my pills every day, I seem to do all right.It’s not much of a life, but so much more than I ever had.When Brandon Graves knocked on my door, the look of shock on his face was priceless.

He’s got a great life, complete with a loving family and a best friend who’d take a bullet for him, so what more could he possibly want or need? Except, maybe, for the world to change. And to find someone to spend more than one night with, but that isn’t high on his list of priorities. He’s never been one to believe in destiny or whatever else the fantasies sell about there being someone special out there meant just for him.Then a chance encounter at a party changes everything.Graeme Davenport has no delusions about finding his true mate.

They are two very different men trying to navigate expectations, separate reason from innate primal drive, and do it while working together to solve a murder.It will take everything they are to find a middle ground, and to learn to trust in a fated kind of love.
Saved
A.M. Arthur - 2017
His older brother Kell mated a cruel alpha who abuses him daily, and Braun is terrified of that seemingly inevitable future. When Braun’s father dies in a car crash, leaving Braun an orphan, he’s sent to a halfway house for omegas. But on his fourth night there, he witnesses a horrifying crime that sends him fleeing to the streets alone—and edging into his first heat. Tarek Bloom is settled in his workaholic, single lifestyle, even if it is somewhat embarrassing to be a twenty-eight year-old unmated alpha. He enjoys his job as a constable, helping people and solving problems, so he isn’t prepared for his life to flip upside-down when he walks into his beta friend Dex’s apartment to help with “a problem.” The problem turns out to be an unmated, nearly in-heat omega orphan who Dex and his husband rescued off the street last night. The even bigger problem is that Tarek feels the mating bond for this terrified omega immediately—and he’s pretty sure the omega feels it, too. But Braun hates alphas as a general rule, and no way is he giving in to the bond. All mating leads to is violence and suffering, so no thank you. But Tarek’s gentle kindness slips under Braun’s emotional shields, and Braun begins to want. To dream. All Braun has ever known is violent alphas, but Tarek is determined to make Braun trust him—and to trust in the idea of their happily ever after.
