Alpha King’s Mate by Jessica Hall

Can’t believe the Moon goddess my, however many generation-great grandmother would curse her own grandson to a life of misery. Blessings are what they say mates are, mine are a curse. Before I knew how badly mates could destroy you, tear apart your soul, I craved mine. Craved finding my other half, now I know better. Mates are a distraction one I couldn’t afford, yet here I am still searching for my little white wolf knowing I will be damned when I finally catch her, that I will once again have to tear off another piece of my soul when I am forced to kill this one too.

Mates are no blessing and the Moon Goddess, well I have given up on her, my mother is a pure hybrid a direct descendant of the Moon Goddess herself, making her the hybrid Queen until she handed her title to me when she stepped down. Now I am the cursed Alpha king. My father was a werewolf so the only good thing I got off my mother being a hybrid was being the ultimate predator, luckily I was also blessed with a wolf. My twin sisters were like my mother, just hybrids, no wolves, no shifting, my younger brothers were like me though, and it tended to run on the female side with the hybrid genes. I only craved blood in wolf form, my sisters craved it all the time.

My family are the only hybrids except for the mutations made by Kade, a crazy scientist who was hellbent on revenge for a feud that had nothing to do with us, only my grandfather, but that didn’t stop him from trying to destroy us. He used my grandfather’s blood to become immortal. We thought after finally killing the bastard, everything was going to be fine. Well until I found my first mate, she was a hunter, and what a disaster that was. I was blinded by the mate bond, and she was using me to get to my pack, my family. So knowing that it ended in her death.

I won’t stand for betrayal and having to kill her destroyed me. Yet now my grandmother has decided to fiddle with the Fates again and give me another dud for a mate. A second chance mate and this one has been eluding me for months now.
