Zahara's Alpha: A Vampire Shifter Romance

by September Knight

Zahara Nightthorn is a vampire princess. She's bold, dangerous, and absolutely uninterested in the idea of mates. Vampires don’t have mates. So when the commanding and infuriatingly gorgeous Alpha Malachi "Kai" Rivers claims she’s his, she does what any self-respecting vampire would do. She runs.

Kai has spent a lifetime at the top. The most powerful wolf shifter in the country, a leader feared and respected. But the moment he met Zahara, his fate was sealed. She’s his. And he’ll burn down the world to make sure she understands exactly what that means.

With the supernatural world shifting, enemies rising, and a war brewing between factions, Zahara and Kai will realize there’s no better place to be than together.

Welcome to the world of Zahara’s Alpha where love is savage, passion is unstoppable, and claiming is forever.

I enjoyed it!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5
I really enjoyed the pace of this story. It was fast, but steady at the same time if that makes sense. I liked that it started off with a bit of a chase for the FMC. The spice was QUALITY spice too! I also loved that we got a bonus story and we even got character art in the book too!

I would really recommend this! 💖

Zahara's Alpha: A Vampire Shifter Romance (The Protector’s Claim Book 2)


Zahara, the vampire princess, had just emerged victorious from a fierce battle, eager to pursue her next conquest. However, her plans were abruptly interrupted when a striking man stepped before her, declaring that he was her destined mate. Uninterested in the notion, she vanished without a trace. The man, determined to find the one who completed him, embarked on a quest for her, yet Zahara resisted the idea of having a mate due to her vampiric nature.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It presented a captivating narrative about a woman who struggled to believe in everlasting love because of her inherent nature, contrasted with a man who was relentless in his pursuit. The author skillfully crafted well-rounded characters, with the supporting cast enhancing the authenticity of the story.

Kai, a formidable man from a lineage of strong individuals, possessed the unique ability to foresee the future, allowing him to anticipate his enemies' moves. This advantage, however, did little to help him capture his extraordinary mate, who had eluded him for over a year, driving him to the brink of madness as his patience waned.

This was my first encounter with this author, and I was genuinely impressed. I am eager to delve into the series, which promises to keep readers on the edge of their seats. I look forward to seeing how the author develops more stories. The books are available through Kindle Unlimited, and I highly recommend supporting this work.

I knew this would be good

This Wolf vampire story is one for the books. I loved everything about it. I loved how Kai did not give up on Zahara. I loved how her brother Dominic was redeemed and was able to find his true love again. I love everything about this story. I feel like it’s so much more that we can dive into. I can’t wait to read about these dragon shifters cause I just feel like that’s gonna be the book right there. I’m drag shift is gonna take it also I’m excited to get Elijah story But Up Next I really want to read about the King vampire and the dragon queen Yes yes yes.

I really enjoyed this amazing well written spicy read. I loved how Malachi carried his self in this story very powerful and aura was very much dominant. Malachi wasn’t playing with Zahara, and meant everything he said, that he wasn’t leaving until he was able to take her home. I liked how patient he was with her, letting process the change that was about to happen. Baby the spicy scenes were everything. Then comes prince Dominik story with Sanova and Kenzi I enjoyed their chemistry and their intense spicy scenes. I’m happy everything worked out for Nik and their future, and he finally got his happy ending.

I really enjoyed the plot of the story. The twist and turns kept me reading. What I didn't like was the excessive sex scenes. 1/4 of the book could have been cut out if it wasn't for the constant sex scenes. I didn't mind the scenes, but it was just over-kill. Every time there was audience with the vampire king, sex was going on, every time the vampire prince traveled somewhere explicit sex scenes. It was just too much. I can't wait to read the story of the vampire king and the dragon empress. Just hope it's more story than sex.

Amazing Read!!!!!

This story flowed so effortlessly and seamlessly. Loved the unity of all supernaturals with a common goal despite their differences in species. Loved Nik found his purpose and mates and started living and not just existing. I can’t wait to see if and Zahara and Kai finally have cubs. And can’t wait to read about the new cubs into the fold. And what new love blossoms from this new unity among the supernaturals…. September your penmanship is amazing. Keep writing and I’ll definitely keep reading!!!! Now definitely on to the next in this series…

I loved this!!

This book did not disappoint Kai and Zah are so hot!! Their love is all consuming but nurturing as well! Nik and his Beta’s was hot and steamy just like is cousin and her alpha.

I love that September writes about strong black females that find equally strong males to love all of them!! I hope this series continues!! I would love to see all the couples work together to save the world. I also would love to see Elijah find his mate.

I really enjoyed reading Zahara’s Alpha! The pacing was just right—not too fast to be confusing, but steady enough to keep me hooked the whole time. I loved watching Kai show Zahara what it truly means to be loved. The little chase in the beginning added the perfect touch of tension and buildup. There was such a great balance of romance, spice, and action throughout the story. And let’s talk about the bonus story at the end—such a fun addition! The artwork was beautiful too and really brought the story to life.
Spice level: 5/5 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yes indeed

I am really enjoying this ride And looking forward to the next installation. All the characters bring something Different And I can't wait to see them All together whipping some Underworld ass. Oh and of course Finding their mates along the way. Kudos to the author Well done

[DeDra Flowers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved It!!!!!

Zahara is Everything, and the way you wrote Kai....GIRL!!!!! I LOVED that you had illustrations of the main characters at the end. We imagine them in our heads, and it's so satisfying to see what YOU saw when you wrote the character. I don't know how many more books there are, but I'm in it till the end! 😁

Whew don't read this if you don't have someone close by lol

This series just keeps getting better and better. Zahara and Malachi and Domnik definitely took us on a wild ride. From beginning to end I was hooked. There's lots of spicy scenes throughout this story that will definitely have the reader hot and bothered

[brybliophile · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 🌟 rounded up…

The pace was great until the end… it felt rushed and lacked the power punch I was hoping it would have. I loved the spice and it kept me engaged. If we could have had more about Rohan and the princes fight with him, I would have definitely gave this a solid 4. Nonetheless, I will finish the series as they are great refreshers between my planned or heavy reads.

Truly Divine

Sooo the storyline is superb, I read the story in reverse. If you are not used to steamy writings thank just skip this one. But if you want to read about a few people who find love in the midst of chaos, this is the book for you. Enjoy!

[Diane Daniels · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Coco · Rating 3 out of 5]

Loved the chase between the main characters and the lead female's cousin story. It was both sexy and had good action and I love a shifter/vampire romance.

[Morgan Frances · Rating 4 out of 5]

The lore for these books has me hooked! Very interesting and original.

Zahara & Kai were top tier & Nik’s redemption arc really shined through.
