Claimed by the Alpha

By Troy Phillips

She cut a silver bullet out of a wolf at three in the morning. The next day, a man walked into her clinic with the same wound.

Ellie Marsh came home to Cedar Hollow, Montana to bury her father and run his veterinary clinic. She never planned to stay. She never planned to fall in love with a man who turns into something the world says can't exist.

Gabriel Kane has kept his family's secret for thirty-five years. One wrong night on the Ridge Road leaves him bleeding in the snow - and puts him in the hands of the only person in the county smart enough to figure out what he really is.

Ellie should run. Instead she starts hiding him.

But a hunter has come to town. Silas Crane has been tracking Gabriel's kind for ten years, and he does not miss. He has trail cameras in the timber, a bloodhound in his truck, and silver rounds cut on a lathe. He is patient, polite, and absolutely relentless - and every day he gets one step closer.

Ellie has no gun and no army. What she has is a veterinarian's mind and a lifetime of knowing every barn, kennel, and back road in the county. Twenty-nine sled dogs to bury a scent trail. A hot compost barn that reads as a blank white rectangle on a thermal camera. A church bell rung for eleven straight minutes. Four hundred head of cattle crossing a county road at midnight.

She's beaten him eleven times. He's counting too.

And something else is out there in those hills - something that kills for the pleasure of it. Something that is going to force Ellie to choose between the town that raised her and the man she has already given her whole heart to.

Claimed by the Alpha is a slow-burn, closed-door werewolf romance with a fiercely competent heroine, a devoted alpha who refuses to ask for what he wants, and a cat-and-mouse chase that runs from a small-town veterinary clinic to the bottom of an abandoned silver mine.
