Third Mate — Rebecca James

Sequel to Second Alpha

The winds of change are blowing through the River Wolf Pack compound. River, the pack alpha, has allowed rogue wolves, a coyote shifter, and humans to join the pack. Then there's the twin girls that Josiah, River's mate, has given birth to. A movement to return to more traditional werewolf ways is gaining momentum.

In exchange for Leo's help, Stone offers him the position of second alpha should Stone succeed in usurping River as pack alpha. Leo has his own problems -- his desire to rise within the pack wars with his dislike of Stone. With the addition of Sam and Foster into the mix, Leo's personal life is no less complex.

Jax knows he must make a difficult decision before he's turned out of the compound. Should he remain human or accept David's bite? He loves the alpha wolf, but he also has ties to the human world, ones he doesn't want to sever. When David discovers Brooks is considering mating Stone, he's determined to prevent it. Can Jax provide a solution to Brooks's problem even if it means sacrificing his own happiness?

Can River remain in charge of an increasingly fractured pack? Does he even want to?
