\— TWO FATED COUPLES—A dangerous society of Hunters has targeted their packs for years, armed to drive their kind to extinction for reasons darker and deadlier than any of the wolf clans realize… SETH & LANA: Before Seth, Lana had never met the leader of a pack, never knew shifters were real. To be fair, they never knew a human like her existed either. Lana’s a latent—descended from shifters, with suppressed abilities that can protect them all from their most savage enemies. More importantly for Seth, the woman’s also his mate. So finding her means she’s just become the Hunters’ most sought-after prey… DENVER & ESME: He’s the pack’s resident bad boy. But she’s the one who’s off-limits. Together, Esme and Denver shelter and train newly located latents, their work detail mostly spent fighting the volatile chemistry that’s tortured them from the start. Wolves and witches don’t mate. It’s why Denver ruthlessly keeps his distance—until the rules change when the shifters learn Esme is more than just their most powerful witch… NOTE: Previously two separate books, the stories of these two fated couples have been newly revised with added content, and combined into one intertwined tale. The HUNTED MATES Series 1) Mated by Fate (Two fated couples…) 2) Masked by Danger (One lost mate…) 3) Marked by Magic (Zero room for failure…)

_Previously titled Curve Charm (c) 2012 by Wick, Christa (AUTHOR), republished with expanded content. \—————————————————————————————————_ The gruffest, most hardened strike team leader in the wolf packs by far, brusque, brooding Cade Mercer has good reason for being so grouchy all the time. Unlike his men, he's already mated. To a strong, incredible, button-pushing she-wolf no less. She was the one that got away. Literally. Iris North had rejected their mating and left the pack twelve years ago, taking his heart with her. For Cade, shifter biology isn't the reason he's stayed a one-woman man since. It's simply how he's built. Iris was it for him. And being alone for the rest of his life is a reality he accepted a long time ago. Until, that is, he catches the scent of the newest latent he's ordered to extract. Not only is the woman the furthest thing from a damsel in distress who needs saving, she's a tough, big city homicide detective packing more heat than his men. She also happens to be his no-longer-missing mate.

All the fated couples. All the dangerous answers. With each passing day, Esme, the wolves' most powerful witch, is dying before their eyes . And a deadly search deep into the wolf clans' past leads to the pivotal secret the Hunters have known all along. If Esme dies, the wolf packs will die with her. Shifters or Hunters—in this final book of the Hunted Mates series, only one side will survive... Author's As this series finale spotlights the continued storylines of the couples who fought their way to each other throughout the series, this book should absolutely be read after first reading Books 1 and 2.
