Phelan: I met my fated mate and she turned my world upside down. She's human, and doesn't believe we are fated to be together, but our chemistry can't be denied. Which is why I had to use a time-honored wolf tradition from the old country. Mating by capture.



I know this is technically called, 'kidnapping' in the human world, and she'll try to bolt the second she is able to. But she's mine, she's not going anywhere, and I'll do whatever it takes to hold onto her.



Lola: I have always taken care of myself, thank you very much, and even though I was attacked by the same shape-shifting creature that has been kidnapping women in my city, I don't need a bossy, overbearing wolf looking after me.



You see, I have a plan in motion for my life. I'll play the part of the dutiful fiancee to stay safe, but my plans don't include being mated to my so-called 'protector.' It's true he's got that irresistible wolf charm and he's sexier than hot, buttered sin, but I have been on my own since I was a little girl, and I know I'm the only person I can trust.



The moment I get a chance to get away, I'll peace out this pushy dude and the nosy people in this shifter town.
