Never pick dare if you aren’t willing to suffer. The fates only gift shifters one mate in this lifetime. That’s the rule. That’s how it has always been. One mate, one subpack. Which was why it was so devastating to watch our mate die mere moments after learning she existed. It was our job to protect her, and we failed. But we wouldn’t fail her twice. After discovering her child tucked away in a poacher’s cage, we took her home to be raised in our community where she would always be protected. But nothing prepared me for fate’s cruel joke, gifting us a second mate, the very pup we rescued. It couldn’t be true. I refused to accept it. But as time went by, the undeniable pull was making it impossible to ignore. I should tell my other subpack members. They needed to know. But I just wanted to postpone it long enough to fulfill my promise, to find Bella’s original pack, to find the rest of her family. When a lead came in about Bella’s family, the promise was too alluring to pass up. But you know what they say, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Which is how I found myself captured by poachers, depending on Bella and my other pack members to rescue me. I shouldn’t have gone alone, but I would do anything for that girl. Bella Belladonna, the very poison for my soul. The only dare that makes the suffering worth it. ***Resisted is a steamy Reverse Harem wolf shifter standalone romance, filled with wit, tension, and some snack worthy alpha males. ***
