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.
41: Resolute
Back in the confines of his office, Ares ran a hand around the back of his neck. He had been taken too much by surprise by her appearance, and he was having difficulty putting the images of her body out of his head.
The last thing he needed right now was a libido brought to life by a woman who stood in the way of his destiny. A woman who threatened the delicate balance he strived to attain in his life. He knew what he should be doing with Jodie Mickelson, and it wasn't anything remotely sexual. But already the blood running through his veins felt hot; his heart picked up a rhythm and, as if possessed, when he closed his eyes, all he could imagine was going back to her room, shoving Ms. Van out the door, and then returning to unwrap the towel around her body. He wanted to wrap her long hair around his hand, then bend down to take that lush, soft mouth with his.
