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.

Jodie stopped short at the threshold of Viola's cabin as two pairs of eyes whirled towards her. She'd barged in unannounced during a consultation with one of the pack members.
A soft candlelight illuminated their faces and the rest of the darkened room. Viola's eyes held a deep, mystical intensity that implied she'd been very connected with whatever she was doing.
"Jodie," she said, surprised to her. Viola's hands grasped an elderly woman's, who was currently scowling at Jodie. "I've been expecting you. Although not right now."
"Yes, I can see you're busy. I'm sorry to intrude," Jodie replied, taking in the tense atmosphere. "I had no idea you were with company."
"It's okay. We're almost done." The elderly woman's gaze lingered on Jodie, her displeasure palpable.
Viola handed her a portion and said, "Take this, Ophelia. Give some to him now, and leave the rest for later. Your brother will be much better before night falls."
