The Alpha's Mate
​​
Fate is not always kind, nor does it arrive when one is prepared to face it.
Alpha’s Mate is a story shaped by instinct, power, and an unbreakable bond that governs a world where choice is often an illusion. It follows a young woman whose life is irrevocably altered when destiny intervenes, forcing her to confront fear, desire, and the cost of belonging.
This novel explores themes of vulnerability and resilience, authority and trust, and the quiet strength required to endure what cannot be undone.
This book contains explicit sexual content, violence, and mature themes. Reader discretion is advised.
The Chosen Mate
​​
Sophia Middleton has spent her entire life feeling like she doesn't belong. In a world filled with pack hierarchy, power, and tradition, she is the daughter of a respected warrior, yet treated as an outcast by those around her. When fate finally reveals her destined mate, Sophia dares to hope that everything might change. She is wrong. Rejected by the future Beta, humiliated before her pack, and hunted by those who believe she should know her place, Sophia's world begins to unravel. But beneath the pain of betrayal lies a strength that no one expected her to possess—not even Sophia herself. As enemies close in and old beliefs are challenged, Sophia must decide whether she will continue living in the shadows or rise and fight for the future she deserves. Along the way, she discovers that destiny is far more complicated than a single mate bond, and sometimes the person that is willing to stand beside you is the one you never saw coming. In a pack where loyalty is tested, hearts are broken, and secrets threaten to change everything, Sophia's journey is only beginning. Will she find the courage to find her own destiny, or will the weight of rejection destroy her before she learns her true worth?
Victim of the Alpha
Some Alphas are born to lead. Others believe they were born to rule through fear.
Faith Channing was never meant to be weak. As the daughter of Alpha Max and the rightful heir to her pack, she was raised to lead, to fight, and to protect the wolves who depended on her. She was training to become the first female Alpha her pack had ever known.
But everything changes when a ruthless Alpha named Titus attacks her home, destroys everything she has ever known, and takes her captive. With her father dead and her freedom stolen, Faith finds herself trapped under the control of a man who doesn't simply want her submission—he wants to break her spirit and make her his.
Titus believes power gives him the right to control everything, including Faith. But he has underestimated the woman he is trying to destroy.
Even in captivity, Faith refuses to surrender the part of herself that makes her an Alpha. Every day becomes a battle to survive, to hold on to her identity, and to find a way back to the life that was stolen from her.
Then there is Mason, the powerful Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack—and the man Fate chose as her mate.
Mason sees more than the broken pieces of Faith's past. He sees the strength she is fighting to reclaim. He wants to protect her, but he knows that loving her means giving her something no one else has been willing to offer: the freedom to make her own choices.
As Faith begins to fight for her future, the shadow of Titus still threatens everything she hopes to rebuild. Her enemies may believe they have taken her power, but they have forgotten one important truth.
A true Alpha doesn't stop being an Alpha just because someone takes away her crown.
Faith must face the past, reclaim her place, and decide what kind of future she wants—not as someone's possession, but as the woman she was always meant to become.
Because surviving is only the beginning. And this time, Faith isn't running away.
She's fighting back.
