To humans, I’m known as the ultimate predator. Half-man. Half-beast. A wolf shifter with a penchant for taking what he wants. I hunt. I fight. I’ll even kill to protect what’s mine. When a rival group of shifters invades my pack’s territory, the chaos ignites a turf war that reveals a deadly conspiracy. Not only do the invaders want to ruin everything we’ve built, they made the wrong choice by kidnapping my mate. One look at her face. One moment in her presence. That’s all it takes. I know she belongs to me. She wears my mark. She was made for me. They will never take her away.

As soon as I walk into the bar, I know the redhead is mine. She’s beautiful. Innocent. Pure. Human. My inner wolf does what comes naturally to him. Declare we claim her as our own. But my pack is on the brink of war, and dangerous forces lurk in plain sight. As much as I want to get close to her, I think twice about bringing her into a world that seems to be falling apart at the seams. But I can barely control my urges. In a twist of events I couldn’t predict, her fate collides with mine. We are interchangeably connected in more ways than one. When she offers me her body, I fall to my knees. When I learn that she wears my mark, I vow to keep her and protect her forever.

I'd start a war to have her. I'd risk everything to claim her—even my title. I'm the alpha of the Timber Rock pack. I lead. I hunt. I take. I claim what's mine. Men of my bloodline are rumored to be cursed—never to find their fated mates. Men of my status are expected to take shifters as mates and breed full-blood heirs. But then I meet her...the woman who shows me the world in a different light. She is my fated. And she is human. I have to have her. There's no turning back now. If I must, I would risk it all. I would risk it all to make her my life-mate.soon.

Wild. Corrupt. Beast. I’m known as the Cajun alpha wolf who chose the path of vengeance. Those who know me don’t cross me. And those who don’t learn one way or another. Too bad someone has decided to test my patience by stealing from me. I won’t let this go. Someone must pay. In money or in blood. Until the bastard settles up, I’ll keep his sister as ransom. When he brings me the money, I’ll give her back. The trade seems fair… But when I see her, she’s more than I expect. She wears my mark. She’s my better half. Her light drives out my darkness. Her touch excites the beast inside me. I’ve always been a man of my word. But this is one promise I cannot keep. I have no intentions of letting her go. She will forever be mine. Author's Note: This is dark and dirty paranormal romance. This rough Cajun alpha owns a bayou and likes to pound things (he's a former MMA fighter-what else did you think I was talking about? ;). And yes, he practically lives in the swamps. So of course, this story is smexy and dirty. Alarik: Shifters of Iron Storm Bayou is the first in a new spin-off series. Stories are closely connected but books in the Mate Marked world can be read as stand-alones. This is a hot, intense love story. May include triggers. No cliffhangers. HEA, of course.
