Alphas on the Prowl
The Wolf Pack, which I’ve mentioned here before, is an awesome group of shifter romance writers comprised of some amazing and talented women – many of them New York Times and USA Today Bestsellers. The truly incredible thing about these women is that they routinely do all they can to support and encourage one another, and I have somehow been lucky enough to have been adopted into their pack. These ladies have recently put together a fun project involving a series of boxed sets, and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be participating in it. The first boxed set was titled Alphas Gone Wild, and it’s a fabulous set that has been getting rave reviews. You can check it out HERE if you haven’t already. The second set releases later this month on April 28th, and it’s called Alphas on the Prowl. We just got the cover mock ups a few days ago, and here is the big reveal!
Alphas on the Prowl is eleven sexy shifter tales from eleven fabulous shifter romance authors. My story in the set is titled, Exiled: A Lunar Falls Novella, and you can read a short excerpt below.
Snippet from Exiled: A Lunar Falls Novella
Zach watched the man fall to the ground and shifted back to human form as he shook his head. Then he smiled at Sarah and stepped over the man’s body.
“How many times do I have to ask you nicely to leave me alone?” she insisted.
“What? I just came to your rescue.”
“Oh, the hell you did!” She raised her voice but then quickly remembered the sleeping humans in the house. “I was doing just fine on my own, thank you very much. I think I can handle one human male just fine.”
“You couldn’t handle him back at the bar,” Zach said.
“The bar was full of people! What? Did you expect me to wolf out in front of an audience?” she asked, glaring at him. “Now, thanks to you, that jerk is going to go spreading monster werewolf stories around here and we’ll both have to leave.”
“That jerk is going to chalk it up to having way too much to drink tonight and forget all about it,” Zach said.
Sarah growled and rolled her eyes. “You have an answer for everything, don’t you?”
“Most of the time, yes.” He smiled, giving her a very cocky, very sexy grin as he stepped closer to her and reached out to touch her arm.
“Go away Zach.” She jerked her arm away from him. Then she turned on her heal to walk away.
He gently grabbed her arm and pulled her to him, snaking his other arm around her waist and drawing her closer. Then he very unceremoniously planted a kiss on her lips. It was rough and uninvited, and Sarah could feel his tongue darting against her lips as it begged for entry. She pushed against his chest, fighting to free herself from his clutches, but his grasp was too strong. And the more she fought, the more she felt her heart racing — speeding up to synch with the rhythm of his.
Zach held her fast, refusing to let go until she admitted that she felt him too. She couldn’t hide it from him, he could feel her heart beginning to keep time with his own and he knew what it meant. The more time they spent together the more it was becoming evident that they were mates. She was meant to be his. Now he just had to make her want it too.
Sarah turned her head, breaking their kiss. But she still couldn’t free herself from his embrace.
“Let me go!”
“Tell me that you feel me,” he demanded.
“I don’t!”
“You’re a liar,” he snarled. Then he kissed her again.
She felt her claws emerging as her hand shifted, and she scraped them over his pectoral muscle, ripping his flesh along with the fabric of his shirt.
He groaned with the pain of it and grabbed her wrist, but he didn’t let her go. As the wound healed itself, he jerked her closer to him, and when she gasped his tongue forged ahead, delving inside and exploring her mouth as he deepened their kiss.
Sarah felt the heat flare in her chest as he devoured her mouth, and as hard as she fought against it, she could feel herself beginning to respond to his advances. She clutched his shirt and pulled him closer, kissing him back with a reckless abandon. She hated herself for what she was doing, but she couldn’t seem to stop it. This felt right somehow. Natural. As though she had kissed him a million times before. As though being in his arms was the one place she was supposed to be.
