Destiny

I snarled, "You're driving me crazy," as I lowered my hand to her waist and traced it around to her lower back. I then sucked her earlobe into my lips, running my teeth along its surface.

She groaned and dropped her head back against the wall. The intensity of my need for her was intensified by the scent of her response to me. As we leaned in for a kiss, I grabbed her cheek and brought my lips to meet hers.

As I ran my fingers over her hair, I whispered, "Nadia," close to her mouth.

*****

Nadia has been taken and forced into the ghostly world. Her captors, vampires, wanted to use her as a pawn in their game with an Alpha werewolf, she learns. Not just any werewolf, her mate. According to the man incarcerated next to her, that is. Unfortunately, her humanity is the reason they have disregarded her. She will demonstrate to them the destructive power of humans.

Alpha Silas's history comes back to haunt him, and his Beta has been absent for two days. Silas is finally contacted and offered a deal: his life for his Beta's and the mate he has yet to meet.

He's been waiting his whole life to meet his mate and will do anything to keep her safe. Except she doesn't require as much support as he feared she might.
