Leader of the Pack — Lynn Richards

Special Agent Jared Stone is hot on the trail of a killer vamp when his wolf comes across the scent of the woman he's been waiting his whole life for - his mate. She's beautiful, feisty, curvy and just what Jared has always desired. But Emily is also hunting the vampire and nothing brings out an alpha male's dominant side faster than a threat to his mate.



As they search for her best friend, deputy sheriff Emily Smith struggles to accept this unbelievable twist fate has thrown her. All while curbing an alpha wolf's overbearing tendencies. Because of her size, she's never thought of herself as someone who could set a male - or a wolf - on his ear. But that's exactly what she's done to Jared Stone.

EXCERPT:



“Going somewhere?”



Emily jumped at the silkily spoken words.



Jared stood in the shadows of the woods. For a brief instant all she saw were glowing embers where his eyes should be. Then the flame disappeared, replaced by the azure blue she had come to love. “You scared the hell out of me.”



“Good, you need to be scared. You need to be so badly frightened you piss yourself,” he snapped. He walked forward, all muscular menace. “I told you to stay put.”



“Technically, you never said those words to me.” Her heart accelerated and her pussy flooded with moisture at the look on his face. He was in a royal snit. She took a step back.



Jared followed her retreat. “Technically, I shouldn't have had to tell you. It was understood. I will discipline you later. A female does not disobey her mate.”



Her butt clenched just thinking about the spanking she had received earlier. Oh, God, she didn't want to admit it but that had turned her on. A lot.

“Obey? Now look here, Jared, I am not your property.”



Time to cut this alpha male down to size. She was up for a little kink in the bedroom, but did he believe he could actually set forth edicts for her to blindly obey? If so, he had another think coming.



“Why, I wouldn't obey you if you were the last man on earth.” She drew another breath, intent on carrying on her tirade when he cut off her words with a kiss.



Holding her head still with his hands, he devoured her mouth. He fed images into her mind as he thrust his tongue against hers, warning her that the rough mating of their mouths merely mimicked what he would do to her with his body if she disobeyed again. She swore she could actually felt the smack of his hand and the throb of his body as he took her. In the ass.



Jared yelped like a scalded pup and released her mouth but did not release her. He lifted one hand to his mouth and swore when his fingers came away tinged with blood. Emily saw his canines lengthen and knew it wasn't a trick of the light from the nearly full moon overhead. “You bit me!” he roared in disbelief.
