The Alpha's Heart (Stolen Mates)

The Alpha's Heart (Stolen Mates)

Before Chase found Quinn, Bishop met Sofia... Bishop Dupuis is the new Alpha of the Sylvan Pack—and, it seems, my fated mate. A powerful wolf shifter raised to follow his duty, when the revered Luna—the wolf shifters' goddess—whispers my name into his ear following his Alpha Ceremony, he has no doubt what to do next: send for me and offer to mate me sight unseen. After all, according to the new Alpha, if the Luna says I'm supposed to be his mate, who is he to decide otherwise? And then there’s me. Sofia Russo, a gentle delta who has no idea what to do with a dominant alpha... It's not going to stop me, though. On the other side of the country, I’ve grown tired of my place in the River Run Pack. I love my job as one of the pack's teachers, molding young pups, but all that does is remind me that I’ve never had a mate of my own. My wolf has always been choosy, and none of the males in my territory have caught my attention. So when I find out that I’m the fated mate to this young Alpha from Louisiana, I can’t help but jump at the chance to go. And then I meet the towering, bearded Bishop with his grunts and his snarls and his fiery gold eyes and, despite my determination, I nearly flee all the way back east. For Bishop, it's love at first sight. For me... I still can't understand why the goddess would give me such a terrifying male—until I get to see beneath his Alpha nature and realize that I couldn't ask for a better male. Too bad there’s another wolf from River Run who isn’t so keen on me choosing to be the Alpha’s mate... ** This novella is part of the Stolen Mates series, but while it's the third entry, it's actually first chronologically. All three are interconnected standalones and can be read in any order, but Bishop and Sofia's story happens first -- and they're happily mated in books one and two (so think of this as a prequel or a flashback).
