There will be several books and a few spin-offs, but they can each be read as stand-alone books with a HEA at the end.Excerpt:On the outside, Reina remained calm, barely breathing in fact, but not freaking out either. On the inside, however, her heart started racing and she could have sworn she was about to have a panic attack. Her throat started to feel tight, and she reminded herself to take deep steady breaths. 'I’m sorry, I have no idea what you are talking about. If you will excuse me…' She slipped out the door and into the hallway. She was proud that her voice had stayed steady and she hadn’t just slammed the door in his face. Making her way to her room, she was stopped short as he grabbed her arm.Cade knew she was lying. As an Alpha, it rubbed him raw. First off, she was lying and he knew that his aura was strong enough that even most humans felt compelled to tell him the truth. Secondly, she was walking away, essentially dismissing him. Most Lycans, especially Alphas, would perceive this as a challenge. Sensing that she was about to open her pretty little mouth and say something that would completely piss him off, he hauled her closer to him. At her look of surprise, he couldn’t help the wolfish grin that spread across his features. Apparently, she wasn’t used to being handled.'Now, before you go getting all riled up, I just wanted you to know that I am now the Alpha of the area. The entire state of North Carolina is my jurisdiction, in fact. If you know any Lycans, especially those in need of protection or help, I would appreciate it if you would send them my way.'It seemed they were at an impasse, staring at each other. His gaze held power, and hers held mistrust. Someone cleared their throat and Cade released her, knowing the guardian witch had stepped into the hall. Reina retightened her towel and sent him a glare. Mentally, he couldn’t help, but be impressed. Not many had the courage to even try to stare him down, but she did. Even in her towel, she looked like a force to be reckoned with.'Well, if I meet any Lycans looking to get manhandled while in a towel by a shape-shifting Neanderthal, I will send them your way!' Turning on her heel, Reina entered her room and slammed the door behind her. A moment later he heard the scraping sound of the lock clicking.Cade growled after her, tempted to knock the door down just to spite her. It wouldn’t take much. He shook his head. What was it about that woman that was driving him nuts? It felt like there was something going on that he couldn’t grasp onto. His nose told him she was human, but his instinct said something else was going on. He looked at Lilith.'For the record, I agree with her…' She shrugged and stepped into the bathroom.
