The Alpha’s Claim by Preston Walker

Sid
The last thing I want to be is a charity case. It’s part of why I was reluctant to come back home after I got myself blown up overseas with the Navy. But I need a place to heal – away from prying human eyes – and reconnecting with my family seems like the right thing to do. It’s reconnecting with my best friend that really throws me for a loop, though. I was head over heels with him when I left, but he never seemed to return my feelings. It doesn’t take me too long to figure out that the sparks are still there – and that he feels them, too. The only question is: what do we do about it?

Having Sid back is the best news I’ve had in a long time. I’ve loved him for as long as I can remember – even asked for permission to court him when we were just teenagers. Discovering that we’re fated mates should be happiest moment of my life… but with my brother gunning for my position as pack alpha and a pack war looming on the horizon, I’m afraid that Sid’s moved from one war zone into another. And when I learn he’s carrying my pup? As much as I want this life with him, that’s the sort of news that takes this situation from bad to worse. The biggest question is: do I have what it takes to protect them?
