Alpha’s Bane by Katze Snow

Maya Greene is infatuated with the town’s mysterious new arrival. Everything from his perfectly groomed beard and effortless suit, to his fancy car and cane is utterly captivating, and Maya can’t seem to bring herself to look away. That is, until Noah confesses he’s also in fact a shifter – the one thing Maya despises! Ever since a werewolf attacked her four years ago, leaving a permanent, painful impact on the rest of her life, Maya hasn’t been able to trust them. Or even look at them in fear of being ambushed again.

Noah Hunter, on the other hand, is hunting a rogue werewolf and will do anything to catch him. When his target suddenly takes interest in a human from the Old Town, Noah decides to use her to attract his prey’s attention. But in order for his plan to work, Noah must take Maya to his territory — Zion — where she’ll be safe from the weresnatchers that hunt her. Unfortunately for Noah, the girl’s a total pain in the ass. She’s messy. Incompetent. He just wants to complete the mission and be done with her already. But while running away from a pack of underground weresnatchers, the two are stranded in a deserted log cabin in the dead of winter. They might not get along, but sparks fly as Noah and Maya learn to accept one another for who they are deep down. Can love grow between them before Tanner, alpha of the underground, captures the ultimate prey and the chase ends?
