He had to marry her to end the war, but he wasn’t expecting to like it.
EXCERPT
"Let's go home."
My heart jumped into my throat. "Home?"
He laughed. "So the asshole didn't tell you?"
I shook my head. "You've been signed over like a piece
of property. You belong to me." He said the words like they tasted foul.
A shiver ran down my spine. I looked over at Alex, who was
busy taking a girl from behind.
"I'm new to this. I'm sure he has his reasons." I
loved my brother, but I hoped the reason wasn’t
to spy on Roman. I pushed it out of my head. My brother could be an asshole,
but I believed he was doing this for the packs.
"Being an asshole is a reason now?"
I bit my lip to not laugh. "You pull it off well, so
what's your excuse?"
He raised a brow and lingered for a moment before turning
around to shift. I wanted to know why he wouldn't shift while looking at me. He
was beyond frustrating, and we were only hours into this arrangement.
I'd never seen this part of the grounds. The pack lands
belonged to the Fala pack and thus were forbidden to be hunted on by any other.
The sun crested the trees surrounding his modest ranch. He didn't wait for me,
shifting before walking into the house, without a backward glance. The interior
was utilitarian, done in bland shades of gray. It wasn't warm. Even the house
wanted me to leave. He headed straight down the back hall, closing the bedroom
door behind him.
I looked at the ceiling. He ignited so much rage. I wanted
to curl up in the damn corner. I’d
wanted to do this, but now I felt like I had been sold and not even to someone
who wanted me. This wasn't me. I wasn’t
about to let him make me feel weak.
I took a deep breath, marched up to his door, and threw it
open. He lay sprawled out in bed and hadn't bothered with clothes. He looked so
different lying there. Almost softer. I didn't ask permission to enter. I
walked right over to the full sized bed he slept in and lay down, turning my
back to him.
He sighed. I didn't react.
"You can sleep in the guest room," he said
through gritted teeth.
I glanced over my shoulder at him. "What's the point?
You're going to have to fuck me at some point since you own me now. Might as
well get it over with."
He bared his teeth, and I did it right back. A low growl
ripped through him. I scoffed.
"You're not scary." He was actually terrifying,
but I didn't believe he would hurt me.
"You have to be a virgin when I take you at the next
moon." His words were barely more than a growl.
"Like anyone is ever still a virgin anymore when they
mate?" I rolled over to face him.
He would be the type to follow the rules.
"You will be," he said the words, but his body
betrayed him.
His thick cock grew rock hard between his thighs. I stared.
It was probably the worst thing I could have done. I saw naked men every moon.
I saw them fuck in groups even, but I'd imagined Roman for years. The reality
was better than I could have pictured.
"You don't mean that." I reached out and wrapped
my fingers around his base.
His hand shot out and grabbed my wrist, ripping my hand
from him. "I do." He threw my hand back at me and got out of the bed
like it was on fire. "I'll take the sofa."

Author
Bio
When not staying up all night writing,
J.R Gray can be found basking in the warm glow of the Miami sun, or at the gym
where it's half assumed Gray is a permanent resident. A dominant, pilot, and
sword fighting enthusiast, Gray finds it hard to be in the passenger seat of
any car. Gray frequently interrupts real life, including normal sleep patterns,
to jot down nonsense. The bane of Gray's existence are commas, and even though
it's been fully acknowledged they are necessary, they continue to baffle and
bewilder.
If Gray wasn't writing…well,
that's not possible. The buildup of untold stories would haunt Gray into an
early grave or possibly a mental institution where the tales would end up on
the walls in crayon and finger paint.
Gray is Gender Queer and
prefers He/Him pronouns.

Great post and giveaway....AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've read enough Alpha books to have a favourite. And I'm not sure why that is because I do really enjoy them when I do read them. Silly me :)
If your talking shifter Alphas Lisa Olivers Cloverleah Pack has quite a few, My lupine Lover by Stormy Glenn, Kontra and Declan of Charlie Richards books. Silver of Amber Kell. If you are talking contemporary- Sam Kage in Mary Calmes books, Godfrey in AE Via,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading Alpha Male books because their characters are so interesting on the one hand they are dominant, stubborn and unbelievably annoying! But then they will also fight and defend what they believe in, family, mate etc even if it means certain death.
ReplyDeleteI am currently enjoying the THIRDS series by Charlie Cochet. And love A E Via!
