Book Description:
When the topic of grandchildren comes up during a weekly sewing circle the matriarchs of the founding families seek out the witch Elder to scry to see if their sons have mates. They are shocked to discover that many of their sonâs mates are out in the world and are human!
Fearing that their future daughter in laws will end up dead before being claimed and providing them with grandchildren to spoil, they convince their own mates that something must be done. After gathering all of the warriors together in a fake award ceremony the witch Elder casts a spell to pull the warriorâs mates to them, whether they want it or not.
Aiden McKenzie is adamant that he doesnât need a mate and that she would only get in the way. He doesnât have time to coddle a female. He likes his world run with military precision. Little does he realize, Fate is sending him his mate first! He meets his destined mate Meryn Evans and things go downhill from there. She is the embodiment of chaos. In the first twenty-four hours she kicks, screams and knocks her bear shifting mate unconscious.
Eventually they discover that life before finding each other may have been good, but life afterwards is perfect, even if it involves super soaker battles and accidentally discharging hand grenades.
Unfortunately, the joy of their mating is overshadowed when Aiden and Meryn find themselves embroiled in a missing persons case assigned to Aiden by the Lycaonian Council. By assisting Aiden, Meryn finds herself the focus of a demented killer.
Can Aiden and the elite warriors from the Alpha Unit keep Meryn safe? Or did Fate bring her to Lycaonia to die?
Excerpt:
Meryn looked around helplessly as she dangled in his grasp. Her hopes for escape plummeted when she saw that they were now completely surrounded by no less than twelve huge men all carrying weapons.
âOkay, I saw this movie and I didnât like it. Can I just go home now?â She took in their military gear and closed her eyes.
âI didnât see anything I swear.â
âWho sent you?â Meryn opened her eyes to see another blond man stepping forward. At first she thought he might be related to the guy holding her but this man had amber colored eyes not green and higher cheekbones. It was a gorgeous combination.
âNo one.â
âSo you just decided to climb a random fence just to see what was on the other side?â There was no hiding the sarcasm in that question.
She nodded frantically.
âActually yup. I just moved to town and I woke up and had this overwhelming urge to go exploring. It pushed me here.â She noticed how the men gave each other meaningful looks.
âSo are you guys like paramilitary? Secret CIA training base? That would be cool.â Meryn asked.
All eyes turned back to her. She flinched and closed her eyes again.
âI mean, I see nothing, I hear nothing and I most definitely wonât say shit.â
The man behind her snorted. The sound of men approaching had her opening her eyes again.
Out of the woods two more men appeared. One looked like he glided over the fallen leaves, the other trampled through them recklessly his blue eyes hard. He looked like he was the type of man who wore a perpetual scowl.
The angry one looked her over.
âWhatâs your name?â
âThese are not the droids that you seek.â She said. The smaller auburn haired man to her left cracked up. The hulking man glared at him.
âQuiet Keelan.â He turned his gaze back to her.
âCome on, thatâs Star Wars.â Keelan explained.
âShe fights star type wars?â He asked concerned. She looked up at him.
âSeriously?â
