The Alpha's Mate

As an Omega, 17-year-old Sarah is used to being at the bottom of the pecking order, even in her new pack and new high school. But her usually-boring life changes when she turns 18. She expects to shift—and nothing happens. Now, as if being an Omega isn’t bad enough, Sarah is also human. But Sarah, to her surprise, soon finds her mate: in the pack’s handsome and compassionate Alpha. And the lowly Omega finds herself rocketing to the top of her pack’s status as the new Luna. Just as it seems that life is finally going her way, Sarah learns of a terrible betrayal that results in tragic death, exile, and upheaval of what should have been her storybook ending… Or does it? Sarah continues her journey, as she is put to the test with just how many life-shattering changes she can take. Will she live as an outcast? Or as the most respected member of her pack? Sarah joins forces with her trusted and true friend, Ayala. Together, they search for Ayala’s true mate, attempt to unlock her shifter powers, and fend off threats from the deadly Coello. Can they escape his mercenaries, Isaac and Regan? Or will Sarah and Ayala fall prey before they can find their true mates? Ayala, 18, has always been a hopeless romantic and a dreamer. After a whirlwind year, she’s ready to settle into her new life at the Santa Cruz tree house, with Jasper, Isaac, Regan, and the other members of the pack. When she suggests they host a bonfire, Jasper and the rest agree. It seems like a magical night. But when Ayala leans in to kiss Jasper, he backs away. She’s ready to give up on him as her mate when fate forces them into a cross-country road trip together. Soon, they learn they have more in common than they thought. Might he be her true mate after all?

Chapter One Hundred and Sixteen

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN

It’s a long, tough workout, made even longer and tougher by the fact that I can’t get my mind off thoughts of Sterling.

Things get easier when he decides to be my sparring partner for the remainder of the workout. I shouldn’t have let him do that - after all, I need to be searching for my mate - but I’m just so glad to be close to him again.

Every time he puts his hands on my hips to show me how to adjust my center of gravity, or grabs my arm to practice a grappling technique, my whole body lights up. Being close to Sterling makes me feel so good. I feel focused, grounded, and like I could take on anything.

I love the way it feels. I can’t get enough of it. Which is why I’m disappointed when the workout ends and everyone gathers around the pile of towels and water bottles. We catch our breath, slap each other’s sweaty backs, and guzzle down fresh water.
