"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. Though it can be read as a stand-alone novel, I'd advise you to read Book One to get a good grip on the characters and settings.

If you loved book one, you'll love this one ;)

True love. Mates. The very backbone of the werewolf species. But what happens when your Alpha mate rejects you? --------- Eden Cross is a Beta wolf in the Moorgrey Pack. With two different coloured eyes and a secret, she's always been a bit different but well respected and a good friend of most in the packlands. On her 20th birthday she is excited to find her mate as any she-wolf could be. The stories and lore of fated mates told by the ancestors make it all seem like such a fairytale. The love and bond you experience is like no other. But that's not the case; not for Eden. Rejected and shunned after a chaotic incident, she is sent off to Emberholde Academy, a place for out of control wolves and under the strict rule of Alpha Dante Ashvale of the Shadow Sun pack. He's ruthless and unforgiving, but turns out to be crucial to Eden's life and future, with a secret of his own. A man dedicated to his pack, with no care for himself. When these two souls collide in a raging blaze, will they rise from the ashes stronger, or stifle in never ending darkness? ______________________________ [Chapter updates will be weekly, unless posted otherwise.] [18+, some mature content/themes, sex, swearing.] [Sexual themed chapters will be labelled with a disclaimer, and have been written in a way that you can skip these scenes if you prefer.] Spotify Playlist for this novel --> https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6SBn7MPdncfpnrEdVIlIzS?si=e0etOkrpRuqitDF5HBnpzQ *** This work is completely created and written by me, and in no means can be copied, saved or re-posted to other sites, or used for personal use without my permission. *** Rankings -

I'm falling for the Alpha... ... Book 1 |Highest ranking #1 in werewolf - October 18, 2022| Started : Feb. 28, 2017 Finished: May 9, 2017 I#1 in wanted - May 18th, 2018I ... I couldn't react before Jason was right in front of me, his wolf taking over by the way his eyes turned pitch black. "Mine." he growled out, taking a step closer to me. His hand brushed my cheek, and sparks erupted. Now, most people are ecstatic finding their soul mates, their second halves, whatever you want to call them. They rejoice over the thought of finding their soul mate. Years ago, I probably would have thought that would be how it turned out. A casual meeting, them feeling the sparks and being overwhelmed by the scent. But now I found myself with the one choice I had left. Go to Jason, who would be extra possessive because he was an alpha, and bring danger to the pack for being a wanted wolf, or running, and hopefully never seeing them again. My wolf's heart broke at the thought, but I was left with no choice. So I ran. ... After being the most wanted werewolf in the country, Amy Barlow decides to go into hiding. She chooses a small town on the border of the Silver Crescent Pack Territory - one of the most powerful packs in the nation. At first, changing her name to Kara Thomas and dying her hair blonde seems to be enough to throw people off her trail, but when something happens that is not planned for, her original idea crumbles. Will she be able to stay hidden long enough to not get caught? Or will she fall into the hands of a trap? With her mate close on her tail, how will she ever hide? ... COMPLETED!!!! Once the sequel is completed, I will rewrite this one. Stay tuned!

"You're in my territory now, princess, and you'll abide by my rules. Is that clear?" he whispered in my ear as he backed me against the wall, his hand slithering around my waist and pulling me closer to him. __________ Leading the largest, most feared werewolf pack in America wasn't easy. As the Alpha, Haden Pierce carried the strength of his pack on his shoulders since his father was attacked by rogues. At the age of 17, he was forced to build bonds, strengthen relationships, and create a pack aura that no one would dare challenge. He led by fear, but he also led by loyalty and a determination to protect his family at all costs. After the years passed, he had given up on finding his mate and planned out his future so his pack would remain strong from the rogues that threatened to bring them down. His hatred of rogues and what they stood for ran deep. That was until Zara Ferrari, his mate, crossed his lands. The very thing he despised - a rogue - was now his mate. And as much as he tried to fight, as much as he tried to resist, the fire between them was undeniable. Would he give in or will they both get burned? __________ IGNITE is a slow-burn but you'll enjoy passionate mates, possessive exes, reunited families, unexpected betrayals and so much more!

Rejecting the Alpha by Vielle_
49 parts Complete Mature
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.

Everything I went through was worth it. "Don't worry, mommy's coming," I said in a baby voice hoping to comfort him even though he wasn't crying. My heart dropped in my chest when I saw it was empty. No baby in sight. "Gray!," I screamed loudly like I was getting stabbed over and over again. He ran into the nursery, scanning the area for any danger. "He's gone! Our baby's gone!" His eyebrows furrowed as his eyes softened realising what happened. Just as quick as it came, it vanished and he was back with the icy look in his eye. The one he had when we first met. For a moment, I was afraid of him going back to his old self before dismissing that thought and focusing on my missing newborn son. Don't worry, I'm coming for you, my little bubba...
