The Alpha's Claim: A Fated Mates Shifter Romance (Stormridge Pack #1)
C J Blackwood
Mara Calloway is three weeks from her PhD defence and firmly in the business of bones, not men. Specifically not a man who materialises at her bar stool at midnight, radiates controlled menace, and tells her she's dangerous before she's said anything particularly dangerous. She's a scientist. She deals in evidence. She would like to go back to her thesis.
Declan Ashford is Alpha of the Stormridge Pack, eight years into a position he was built for, and completely unprepared for a woman who argues the structural deficiency of taxidermied owls with the same focus she brings to everything else. For wolves, the mate bond doesn't negotiate. It just knows. And the wolf has known since the moment she walked through the door.
He tells her. Because she deserves to choose with full information.
What follows is a slow burn built on honest conversations, a territorial crisis that Mara solves with Bronze Age chieftain logic, and the specific problem of falling for an Alpha when you've got a methodology chapter to finish first.
Alpha's Claim is a full-length wolf shifter romance with a fated mates bond, dual POV, explicit heat, and a heroine who catalogues her feelings before she admits to having them.
