His Brother's Mate

Gregory Wolversen, the Alpha of the esteemed Black River Pack, faced a harrowing past. Once upon a time, he was forced to banish his own brother due to a challenge to his leadership. Tragically, the brother turned up dead under mysterious circumstances across the country. Gregory grapples with the revelation of a woman claiming to be his brother's widow, yet she's vanished without a trace. Her connection to the death raises questions: did she know more than she let on, or was she a victim herself? Gregory's brother's wealth and possessions are accounted for, leaving this possibility open. Meet Aricka Daniels, a resilient widow and single mother, working as a waitress and librarian. Struggling to make ends meet, Aricka has been haunted by the loss of her husband, Richard, barely seven days into their marriage. She bears the burden of keeping their unborn child a secret, a secret he would have wanted to share with his family. However, Richard had warned her about the danger surrounding his family - wealthy and powerful, they were rumored to be involved in the supernatural world. Afraid for her son's safety, Aricka suspects they may have played a role in Richard's demise. In a moment of guilt, she left a cryptic message revealing her son's existence. As the Black River Pack holds the responsibility of maintaining order in the supernatural realm, Gregory's position as Alpha is crucial. With his own parents holding influential roles on the North American Ruling Council, the pack's stability and their right to their territory are at stake. With so much on his plate, can Gregory balance his duties, search for his mate Luna, and ensure the well-being of his pack amidst these complex circumstances?
