Lycans

I wasn't human, not completely.
A Lycan-a centuries-old wolf-like creature that was feared by all, stronger than anything on the planet, and who was only ever after one thing.
 My mate.
For over three hundred years, I had one purpose in life. Find her, the one female born to be mine. My female who'd cause the Linking Instinct-that supernatural connection that told me she was mine and I hers-to finally take root and make me whole.
And for hundreds of years, I'd been alone, saving myself for my mate, never stopping the search.
Until I scented her, saw her, finally felt my heart beat and the blood rush through my veins with hope and anticipation.
Mine.
She didn't see me, but she sensed me.And she ran. She couldn't possibly know how much the chase turned me on.I didn't know how I'd make her understand I could never let her go, that nothing and no one would stop me from making her mine.
Because once a Lycan found his mate… nothing in this world, nothing supernatural or human, could keep him from her.

The Lycans Volume Four contains the following titles: The WildThe Fall

I was ruthless, brutal. A sociopath by all accounts. The leader of the American Vampire Clan, a male who all feared because I was merciless.And then I found my mate. Kayla. So fragile. Breakable. So human.I'd make her mine, and she'd hate me for it. I wanted to give her pain with pleasure, wanted to break her skin and lick up the blood I spilled… take Kayla into me like she'd take me into her.I'd have her surrendering to my needs. I'd give her my body but wouldn't be able to give her my heart.How could I when it wasn't something I had to offer, when I was nothing but a coldhearted killer?So when the threats come to my front door, it's time to show my female she's mated to the most dangerous vampire in the world.*Although characters and plot points do arc across the books in the Lycans series, each story can be read on it's own without confusion.

The moment I found her, my fated mate-the only good and right thing in my dark, hollow life-she was taken from me by my enemies.She was gone, ripped from my arms, a feeling more painful than if my heart had been torn from my chest.I changed that day. I didn't see myself as Odhran, loyal soldier to the king of the Scottish Lycans, any longer. I became scarred, emotionless… soulless.And over the decades, I became stronger, more deadly. I turned into a killing machine, a warlord who took lives because mine had no meaning any longer.I realized I became this male for a reason, a purpose. To take down the organization that stole and enslaved what was mine by right and fate. And I knew that because I found her. I found them.They thought they could take her, keep my mate from me. They didn't know I'd destroy them because of it.

I was a Lycan prince. A brother. A son.What I wasn't anymore was a warrior.But there was a time when I was fierce and unrelenting, a wolf shifter who was primal and respected because of my strength.I felt unstoppable.But all of that changed in an instant when a near-fatal injury during a brutal fight silenced my inner wolf.Now, I was lost, shattered, since my beast had gone dormant, the power it took from me making me feel wholly… human.I felt like a broken male, my mind a dark, twisted place where anger and despair were the only things that kept me company.No one could ever understand. No one could help me.Without my wolf, I was just a shell. A beast without a purpose. A predator without prey. And as the days passed and I healed physically, mentally I found myself becoming destructive. The rage simmered in my blood, and I knew eventually I wouldn't be able to control it.But the hardest realization was that since my wolf was gone, I'd never find my mate. I knew she was out there somewhere. But because my wolf was silent, I'd never recognize her as mine.That was until something shifted in me. I felt… something I hadn't felt in forever.Curiosity. Interest. Desire.And it was all because of a quiet, beautiful woman who worked for the royal family. I didn't want to be gruff with her, didn't want her to see how dark I'd become. But I snapped, growled at the female, and hated myself for it.And she stood up to me when no one else would.She couldn't be my mate if my wolf stayed silent. But I desired her like I'd never desired another creature before.Maybe I wasn't as broken as I thought.
