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 Seventy Three

CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE

Barrett thinks I’m on his side. He thinks I’m willing to work with him to trick Jasper into telling me where his family’s ancestral cave is. He also thinks that I trust him and fully expect him to guarantee my safety, as well as that of the other wolf shifters, once he gets this information.

Of course, he’s being played, even while he thinks I’m playing him. I have to stay calm and focused if I’m going to prevent him from figuring out what I am up to.

The next thing I need to do is make sure I can get cell signal. If I can let Layla and Sarah and Nash know what’s going on, then I can get the San Diego pack to come up here and help. Once they’re out here and on our side, I know we’ll be able to get out from under this awful situation.

I have to convince Barrett to let me go down into the town of Serpent Creek, where I’ll be able to use my phone to get ahold of the San Diego pack.
