"You think you have what it takes to handle the likes of me, sweetheart?" he whispered, a sardonic smile plastered on his lips, "you don't."
----------
Cold and cruel.
That's who the Alpha of the Creston Bay pack was known to be. Greyson Otaire ruled under a strict dictatorship, knowing that the protection of his pack would always come first. After he was forced to abandon his lands from the threat of the Rogue King, it was time to head back.
Only now, he would return to his lands with his mate, Natalia Hemmings, by his side.
Greyson had sworn off the idea of mates, given up on the entire constitution of it, and after what happened in his past, he knew that not having a mate was best for everyone involved. But now he found her, marked her on sight, and was stuck with her.
As hard as he fought to stay away from her, and as much as he tried to protect her from the demons of his past, the pull between them was too strong. Will the cold last forever or will his mate be able to burn through the wall of ice?

FROST is Book Two of the Animal Instincts series and contains scenes and characters originally mentioned in the first book, Ignite. I've written it so it can be read as a stand-alone novel, but feel free to read Book One to get a good grip on the characters and settings.
It is also a slow burn where you'll enjoy possessive mates, scarring secrets, troubled pasts, unexpected betrayals, and so much more!
If you loved book one, you'll love this one ;)

Escaping Duty
After encountering something of myths one day after work, Valentina begins questioning her once mundane world. Seeking answers to prove she's not crazy, she receives another shocking truth that hits even closer to home. Mason returns home to escape his past, but familiar faces return, and new threats arrive in town. Keeping an eye on the enemy, he struggles to avoid getting involved any more than he should. But, when their paths cross, they learn not everything is black and white, and the people you least suspect could be your enemy. ------ 'This is a dumb idea' she thought to herself. Slowly she began reaching her hand towards the animal, feeling compelled to touch it. Would it be as soft as it looked? Did it want her to touch it? The rain continued pelting them, but it felt like its eyes were drawing her into another space, where nothing else mattered. The sudden desire to be closer to this animal was beginning to overtake her mind, especially as her hand neared its head. The whole time the animal only watched her with those large eyes. She imagined it almost asking for her touch. It didn't cross her mind how she knew he'd be soft, or how she even knew the creature was a 'he' to begin with. As her finger just barely grazed the animal, multiples things happened. She felt something shock her causing her to pull her hand back, just as thunder and lightning sounded. When the light cleared the animals' eyes, were narrowed into slits, and it was growling. It was a deep menacing sound that sent her stumbling backward, heart wildly beating. It bared fangs the size of her hand alone dipping its head. Had her touch angered the animal into finally attacking her? She kept moving backward in the rain, slipping in her converses as the creature continued growling. It was then she knew she was prepared to run, no matter what happened.

Rejecting the Alpha
Kylie survived the brutal destruction of her pack only to discover her cold alpha mate was the one responsible for the brutal slaughter of her family and pack mates. She can't forgive and she won't forget. Kylie cooperates with his demands while she searches for a way to free the remaining survivors and herself. Success teaches her just how complicated mate bonds can be and gives her the chance to choose her own fate. "Screw the mate bond. If I went for his throat while he was driving in human form, I might be able to kill him right now, and if I didn't succeed, the resulting accident might. I leapt for the front seat, powerful jaw ready to rip out his throat as he had ripped out my family's to take my revenge. Without even taking his left hand off the wheel, he blocked me by getting his right forearm between my jaws. I bit down as hard as I could, wishing to break his bones and sever the limb. Worse, I felt the tingles of our first contact where violence had connected us. The iron of his blood mingled with the other scents around me." (This is a dark story, but not the stereotypical one where she falls in love with her captor. This is the story of escape from a toxic relationship and finding healthy love.) MATURE content including violence, dubious consent, intimacy, and mature and other possibility upsetting themes like threats of suicide and miscarriage.

Luna Lena
-COMPLETED- ~3 Years BEFORE Luna Hana~ The running never bothered her - she had run her entire life. From what? Nothing in particular...at least not that she could remember. The only real threats in her life were accidentally stumbling onto an Alpha's territory, or encountering a male rogue who was a disgusting prick. Although the first option seemed completely unfathomable, Lena Moretti's life as a rogue comes to a screeching halt when she finds herself inside the territory of the Polar Moon pack. Alpha Elijah Perrin of the Polar Moon pack is known to outsiders as "the cold one." No one was really sure why or how the Alpha had earned such a title, himself included. After all, didn't it seem a bit odd for someone rumored to be so heartless to search the seven packs high and low for years in pursuit of his beloved mate? Or perhaps not having his mate is what made him cold. When Lena and Elijah cross paths, both of their lives are thrown completely off balance. The two of them challenge each other's expectations and uncover truths that they never could've imagined.

Sins and Secrets Book 1: "How do you think all your little Alpha buddies will feel," he hissed, his hot, rancid breath whispering across the back of my neck causing my stomach to sink, "When they discover the dark secret you've been hiding? Do you think they'll respect you still? Do you think that little mate of yours will still want you?" At the thought of Tiberius, my wolf went crazy. My body jerked at the restrained that held me down, the smell of burning flesh filling the room as the silver began to cut into my wrists. "Go to hell." We snapped as my whole body began to go numb. "Oh can't you see, my sweet little bird," he came closer, his lips practically pressed against the skin on my cheek, "You're already there." --------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Cara Eldoran. I am one of two Alpha's within my pack. Two years ago, I stood frozen to the ground and watched as someone I loved killed my older brother in front of me. There were no screams or tears. My whole body had gone into shock, and I was left to watch the horrors unfold in front of me. But I will lose no one else. Alpha's are going missing. They are being taken from their homes in the middle of the night and are never seen again. Sometimes I wish that being taken was my biggest problem. That all I had to worry about was making sure my windows were locked at night and that I was safe in the arms of my mate, but there is much more at stake then most realize. I vowed revenge for my brother the day he died, and I will stop at nothing to get it. Not even the dark secrets that could destroy me will stop my lust for vengeance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------Complete
