WELCOME TO ONE TOUGH TEMPORARY SHE ALPHA . . .

When I left my alpha father’s packlands and Dark Woods Pack, I never envisioned that I would ever return. I ran away with my rogue mate and my brother in tow, and my father had his henchmen chase us all over the countryside for the next year in an attempt to retrieve us.

After the Arcana – Kabaltz War, everything changed. With my mate and father dead and myself pregnant, the pack needed us to return as the alpha’s offspring. My brother, Joey, was too young to take over as alpha, so I, Leiry Matthis, assumed the position until the day my brother would be old enough to become alpha.

The years have passed peacefully until this moment. As my son has grown, so has the danger to the entire Werewolf Kingdom and the world. Evidently a self-proclaimed Rogue Alpha King is growing in power, and he wants me as his forced mate and my pack – all packs really – as his enforced subjects.

What this upstart doesn’t know is that I already have a second-chance mate, Zane. I can barely tolerate him – what makes the Rogue Apha King think I would ever consider being subjected to him or anyone else? I am made of sterner stuff than that. I had refused to capitulate to my father’s unreasonable demands and had followed the urgings of my heart long ago. While my love has changed, my wish to follow my feelings has not. May the goddess spare anyone who comes between me and my heart, for I don’t have a problem putting down any dog that dares to cross me. I may be a woman, but alpha blood runs through my veins. My will is just as strong as any man’s. Test it and find out how badly you will lose to it. I guarantee you will find yourself forever on the bad end of eternity – for I am not to be trifled with, and I suffer no one gladly.
