Blurb:
The Alpha gets what he wants when he wants it. His Beast will stop at
nothing to claim his mate.
When
Marcus rescues Kody, he’s sure he’s found his mate. But Kody isn’t another
bear, he’s a lynx, and he’s reluctant to trust anyone. Especially an Alpha like
Marcus.
Excerpt:
Sounds
reached his ears: low growls, hisses, and the odd, drawn-out yowl. As he closed
the distance, the sounds grew louder. He burst through thick foliage and into a
clearing. The sounds were made by a trio of Canada lynxes. Shifters, he sensed
it. A fourth one was pressed so far into a small hole in a tree’s trunk that
only its head and front paws were visible. As the other three took turns
approaching, it lashed out with its paw.
Marcus
was certain the trio of cats were purposely baiting it. While they seemed
fairly fresh as they moved in one after the other, the lynx in the tree looked
like it was tiring. Then he heard the soft mewls of distress it was making, and
a red mist descended before his eyes.
He
rose up on his hind legs and bellowed loudly. The three lynxes looked at him,
and then scattered as he charged towards them. He briefly considered giving
chase, but the scent he’d followed remained close by. He turned and looked at
the remaining lynx still huddled in the bole of the tree. He shifted, resuming
his human form, but the lynx didn’t move.
“My
name is Marcus. I won’t hurt you. I promise.”
He
sat down, hoping to make himself appear less threatening. For a moment or two,
the lynx remained hunched, and then slowly crawled forward and out of the tree.
Marcus sat immobile, as the lynx shifted. Then the breath caught in his throat.
A
slender, pale skinned man stood before him. Thick honey-blond hair, badly
matted and carelessly parted to the left, reached slim shoulders. Despite being
both dirty and disheveled, there was no missing the beauty that lay beneath.
The
young man looked around nervously. "They'll be back. They'll come after me
because their fear of the Alpha's fury will be greater than their fear of
you."
