title: Harboring His Mate
author: Wick, Christa
description: Onyx: I'm a city wolf—a damaged and injured one at that. Obviously, the absolute last place I should be when I'm in heat is in the middle of the woods with unmated male shifters in the wild able to scent me. But here I am, running for my life. I'm not used to anyone being nice to me, let alone helping me. Even being the daughter of a pack alpha doesn't keep you safe when you're the lone freak in your pack who can't shift. I'm being hunted out here in the woods, and yet somehow I feel safe on the doorstep of the big, brusque stranger who offers me sanctuary. Taron isn't like any of the shifters I grew up around. He's a bear shifter for one—an alpha, no less—with a protective streak a mile wide...for me. Taron: Not much to say. I knew from the moment Onyx found herself trying to escape her troubles in my woods. It hit me like a damn freight train. The she-wolf was my mate. Meaning she was mine to heal. And mine to protect at all costs.Previously published as Ride The Wicked Woodsman (c) 2015 with revisions throughout, newly added content, and a different extended ending.PROTECTED BY THE PACK (MC shifters)Book 1: Harboring His Mate (Taron & Onyx)Book 2: Resisting His Mate (Braeden & Paisley)Book 3: Enticing His Mate (Joshua & Clover)
