Alpha Instinct

He ghosted her years ago… Ana Cordona has been a strong leader for the lupine shifters who survived after half her pack was murdered. As tough as she is, her pack is vulnerable to a devious neighbor who wants their land—and Ana as his own. So when a ghost from her past barrels back into her life promising protection, it’s almost enough to make Ana forget how he walked out on her before—and reluctantly accept his offer to mate. Now he’s back. Connor isn’t walking away again. Ana has always been his mate, something his wolf accepted long ago. And the only reason he left before was for her own protection. Whatever it takes, he’s determined not to leave her side again—but danger is all around them in the form of a rival pack and a radicalized human element in town who wants to destroy all shifters. If they want a chance at a future—and to survive the deadly threats closing in—they’re going to have to learn to trust each other. Unfortunately, the danger is closer than they ever imagined. SECOND EDITION - This updated and revised edition is the author’s preferred text. Author’s Note: Alpha Instinct was originally published by Berkley and the rights have recently reverted back to me. Since then, I’ve done some light editing and rewriting. So if the cover looks new but the title feels familiar, that’s why!
