Affection Of A Wolf by Jennifer Snyder

He’s aware being near her might put her in harm’s way, but his wolf refuses to acknowledge it.

She’s returned to town, and he’s determined to make her his while promising to keep her safe.

Louis Perez is the last of his pack to find a mate, but he’s okay with that; there’s too much looming danger to focus on finding love right now. However, fate seems to have other plans in mind when the only woman he’s ever felt an undeniable connection with returns to town.

Addie Douglas is only in town while her mother heals from hip surgery. She’s not here to become sentimental about being back in town or to pine after the guy she was too scared to confess her feelings for before leaving. Once her mother is healed, she’s heading back to the city. That’s the plan—until she sees him, and her plan goes out the window.

When Louis and Addie find themselves in a dangerous situation, Louis is left with a difficult choice: unleash his wolf to keep her safe and risk scaring her away forever, or stay as he is and be unable to protect her from harm. Both come with their own sacrifices, but he knows which is greater.

For the Brockdale pack, mating wasn’t just for pleasure or even for love.
It was for survival.

Quincy needs a mate to make him invincible, but his inability to speak clearly has made him an outcast. So when the matchmaker chooses him for the first of the female candidates, no one is more surprised. Even more shocking is his animal’s immediate possessive reaction to her. Without a doubt, he knows…

She is his to protect. His to serve. His to keep.

Amber is sweet and caring, and looking for a place to call home. He knows he can give it to her, even if his packmates don’t believe in him. With his flaw, he never thought he’d be worthy of a mate. But now is his chance to show Amber that he was created to treasure–and pleasure–only her.

Defender of Slaughter Mountain by T. S. Joyce

Kian McHurne has unpaired himself from his mate. He had to do it for reasons he never wants to admit out loud. He put her in the care of the new King of the Bear Clan of Alaska, in hopes that she could have a better life, and survive the war that is coming for her. Their pairing was arranged, and they never quite took to each other. It’s better to cut losses and move on if they’re to be in two separate Clans now. Too bad Fate has other plans. When he’s cast into the new Clan to fight for his life, he sees the mate he left behind in a new light. She isn’t anchored down anymore, and the new-found freedom has done her good. Her inner grizzly is fierce, and she will make Kian pay every chance she gets, but for him? He will secretly cheer her on.
She should be fierce.
She should learn to fight.
She should learn to never back down because he knows a secret the new Clan doesn’t know—and it could be the end of them all.

Grizzly shifter, Eryn Laraway, has been shamed. When a pairing fails in the Bear Clan, it’s an unspeakable thing to happen, and her mate has chosen to do just that. Caught between the urge to curl up in a ball forever, or fight like a wild animal until she feels steady again, Eryn must figure out what to do with her life now. When Kian shows up with big warnings for her new Clan, she begins to appreciate the man he could’ve been…if he wasn’t a big, dominant, brute of a grizzly shifter. He’s just like the others of the Old Clan…right? Their pairing was always distant, but now he insists on teaching her things that are strictly forbidden by the Old Ways. The more she gets to know her growing self, the farther away her old life seems to be, and for the life of her, she can’t decide if Kian will ruin what she’s building, or protect it.
