SPOTLIGHT
THE ALPHA'S MATE
BY
MICHELLE FOX
BLURB
Little
known fact about being a werewolf: There are always wolves at your door and
some of them are up to no good.
Chloe Weiss’ dreams have finally come
true: She's a null no more, her wolf has finally come. She's now a full member
of her pack in the remote Appalachian ‘weretown’ of Hunstville. Even better,
she's mated to the pack's next alpha, Jackson Swift. However, now that she's on
the other side of her happy ending, things aren't quite as rosy as she'd
expected.
The women of her pack resent her status
as alpha's mate and suddenly there are rumors that Chloe is an Omega, a
werewolf so weak they are banned from ever mating. Worse, an old friend of
Jackson's blows into town full of disapproval....and competition. It seems no
one likes Chloe except Jackson.
Then women start disappearing, violently
kidnapped from their homes and never heard from again. There's a killer on the
loose in the small town of Huntsville, and the one wolf he'd do anything to
have is Chloe.
Now
Chloe will have to fight...for Jackson, her place in the pack, and her life.
Excerpt:
“I think my wolf hates me.” I rolled
over in bed and snuggled up against Jackson with a pout. It had been two weeks
since he brought my wolf and claimed me as his mate. My life should be perfect.
I had everything I ever wanted; a place in the pack and my very own ‘tall, dark
and handsome’ man to warm my bed, but things weren’t seamless.
I felt itchy in my new skin, as if it
wasn’t the right size. From the way some of the other wolves treated me, it
seemed they felt the same. I hadn’t fit in when everyone thought I was a null
and now I didn’t fit in as a wolf.
Jackson wrapped a strong arm around me
and gave me a reassuring squeeze. “It just takes some time, Clo. Changing is
awkward at first.”
“She looks at me like I’m offending
her.” I frowned. She was doing it right now, in fact. Whenever I blinked, her
haughty expression flashed against the backs of my eyelids. “How does your wolf
look at you?”
He cocked his head and thought for a
moment. “He just looks at me.”
“That’s it?” I sighed and rolled away.
Jackson oozed sex like a pagan god and he looked the part too, with his
sculpted muscles, dark molten chocolate eyes, and black, wavy hair. However, it
sometimes seemed he didn’t think overmuch about anything but sex. Not that I
was complaining. He was a fantastic lover, but I would’ve appreciated a little
introspection just then. Maybe all the hot steamy sex we had was messing with
the blood supply to his brain.
Punching my pillow, I attempted to
settle in for the night. Sleep eluded me more often than not these days. Every
time I closed my eyes, there was my wolf, her gleaming yellow gaze boring into
my brain. She seemed to be expecting or wanting something, but I had no idea
what.
“I know a way to guarantee sweet
dreams.” Jackson’s hand spun little circles on my shoulder as his other hand
inched the covers off me. I shivered, both from his touch and the cool air.
We’d started our relationship in the fall when the sun was still strong enough
to blunt the chill. Now, on the cusp of winter, the air nipped at my skin.
“Oh really?” I arched an eyebrow and
resisted the urge to pull the covers back over me. Jackson was warmer anyway.
Not to mention he provided orgasms.
“Yep.” He straddled my hips and leaned
down to nuzzle the nape of my neck.
“Let me guess.” I put a finger to my
lips and pretended to think very hard. “Is it sex?”
His deep chuckle seemed to rumble
through my body as well as his. “Yep.” Jackson gently kissed my neck working
his way to the hollow of my throat.
“Again?” I gave a soft gasp as his lips
roamed my sensitive flesh. We went at it so often I wondered if we were really
rabbits. The sensual pull between us was magnetic. We almost couldn’t help
ourselves.
“And again,” he murmured in a baritone
so deep, it vibrated through my neck. “I can’t get enough of you Chloe. Not
since the day I first saw you.”
I laughed. I couldn’t help it. “That’s
why you slept with every other bitch in the pack, right?”
He sighed, but knew I wasn’t truly
angry. Before we’d clarified things between us, he’d tried to find someone else
to claims as his. Cal, our alpha, had put a lot of pressure on Jackson to mate
and cement his relationship with the pack. Jackson wasn’t just new to the
Huntsville pack, Cal planned for my alpha lover to take his place when the time
came, which meant he needed a mate.
As a result, he’d told Jackson to avoid
me because I was a null--I would never be a true wolf let alone an alpha’s
mate. So, trying to find a match, Jackson slept with every bitch who’d shown
interest. Sometimes two different ones on the same night. By the time he brought
my wolf and claimed me, he’d slept with almost every eligible female in the
pack.
We’d fought about his many flings at
first, but I no longer carried any bitterness. Jackson was mine. I was his.
There was no going back. That didn’t mean, though, that I wouldn’t give him
shit about it.
The only problem? He gave me shit right
back.

the Author
A former
preacher's kid (which is code for 'wild child') I enjoy exploring the erotic in
my fiction. Fantasy also carries a special place in my heart and I like to
blend the best of both genres in my work.
Most of my
books have been Top 100 bestsellers in the erotica, romance and fantasy
categories and I was once #1 in Germany (me and David Hasslehoff, right?).
Amazon likes to remove my books from search rather regularly, which just goes to
show how very naughty I am.
