For today's tease I'm giving the stage to my guest Nikka Michaels, who's here to tease us with her story in the Evernight Anthology Alpha's Claim the Manlove edition.
Strength. Power. Domination.
The shifters in our Alpha's Claim:
Manlove Edition anthology have one thing in common—they won't take “no” for an
answer. Whether they lead packs of their own, or whether they walk a solitary
path, these alphas won't let anyone stop them from claiming their men.
Lose yourself in these ten sinfully
delicious love stories. After all, who could deny an Alpha’s claim?
WAKING UP WOLF BLURB:
When a radioactive leak in the local water source turns the inhabitants of Adam Baker’s small town into shape shifting wolves, he manages to hold and survive alone--alone except for the wolves he hears in the distance. When he doesn’t immediately undergo “the change” into a wolf himself, he begins to believe he’s immune. After his dreams begin to include another wolf, he finds himself drawn to the howls outside his window and the pack’s alpha Grady Conway.
WAKING UP WOLF EXCERPT:
Adam
watched him carefully. “You don’t even
know me. Why would you invite me back with your family, your pack?”
Grady
looked down. “What if I told you we
needed you? That I needed you?”
Adam
stared at him like he’d gone crazy.
“Me? Why would you need me?”
“A true alpha needs a mate.” Grady raised
his head, meeting Adam’s eyes, and for a moment he couldn’t look away.
“And you think I’m your mate?”
“I don’t think. I know. You’re my mate,
always have been.”
Adam
backed away, and he felt himself shake and pain shoot through his body as he
fell to his knees. Naked and sprawled in the dirt he stared up at Grady, who
closed his eyes and shifted, leaving himself bare as well.
Adam
swallowed hard as he stared up at Grady in shock. This close he could see every
single inch of the tanned and toned body of the man who commanded a pack.
Muscled and imposing, he stared down at Adam, his blue eyed gaze heated.
Without
another word, Grady took a step closer, sliding his hand over the top of Adam’s
head possessively. He slowly wrapped his hand around Adam’s long dark dreads
and pulled his head back, exposing his neck. Adam’s eyes slammed shut as he waited
for Grady to change and wolf teeth to tear out his throat. Instead, when
Grady’s human teeth sank into his shoulder he shuddered and cried out.
Pleasure/pain
surged through Adam’s body as he jerked awake, his cock throbbing as he felt
hot cum stripe his belly. His legs shook as he panted for breath, his bed
sheets and body soaked with sweat.
His
dreams had never been that vivid before, and when he shifted his body his
muscles screamed in protest and he flopped back with a moan.
When
he yanked back the blankets he stared.
His
feet were dirty, caked in mud along with his hands. On his neck, he could feel
Grady’s teeth marks.
He’d
been marked by the alpha.
