Previously published in the anthology Hunger, the paranormal queen of steam and sass pulls out all the stops in The Alpha's Mate, a sexy, funny short story from New York Times bestselling author Eve Langlais.
Villains aren't supposed to rescue damsels, and pack alphas are known to have complete control of their wolf. But when Fabian saves a certain lady from drowning, everything he knows gets tossed away and only one thing becomes clear: she's his mateβand someone wants to kill her. Protecting her, though, is only part of his problem. He also has to convince her she belongs to him.
In her words, "Hell no."
When she flees, little does she realize this wolf loves to chase. And when he catches the woman he wants? She'll become the Alpha's Mate.
