Bending Fate
An extraordinary werewolf with unique magical abilities, including foresight, must learn to follow her heart while fighting a cruel fate. Jodie Mickelson, a maid in the whispering moon pack, is a unique hybrid born from an affair between a powerful witch and an alpha king. When she discovers that the pack's alpha is her fated mate, she hopes for a change in her luck. However, the alpha rejects and banishes her due to his disinterest in their bond. Fate sets Jodie on a path of destiny. Ares, known as the 'Bastard Prince,' is a formidable force of nature in the werewolf world and beyond. Betrayed by those close to him and haunted by rumors of his supposed depravity, he seeks to reclaim his thrones. Their paths will cross, sparks and insults will fly, and love will blossom. However, a terrible vision foretelling Ares' inevitable death at her hands stands between Jodie and her second chance at a happy ever after. Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to the cover image.
22: The Phoenix
Jodie glanced over to see a handsome wolf in his human form approach them. Serene's arm was linked with his, and his head was bent low as he listened to something she said. Suddenly, the head came up and he stared at Jodie with undisguised interest.
"Where's the meat?" Ingrid inquired with mock horror.
Coby laughed.
"Kyle's in charge of the grill, tonight." He glanced over at Jodie as he spoke and she stared back. "I'm guessing you're my student?"
"Huh?"
"Yes, she is." Ingrid beamed. "Jodie, Coby will indoctrinate you on the rich history of the Phoenix Pack while Serene and I will get us something to eat."
Serene's face fell. "But--"
"No, buts!" Ingrid interrupted, dragging her away.
"So," Coby started. "Ingrid tells me you're interested in the pack's history."
"Oh, I'm very interested." Jodie smiled and nodded. "Are you a custodian of some sorts?"
