The Mating Games: Rejected Mate

I was supposed to mate with a werewolf. Instead, I fell in love with a vampire. The Mating Games are a timeless werewolf tradition, one I'm sucked into no matter how old-fashioned. It's how powerful couples are created. Yet, I'm not ready for a mate. The problem is... I have no choice. It's my duty to my family, and family is everything. But when I arrive, I'm met with disaster. Bloodthirsty vampires kidnap us and tell us our plans of mating with the strongest, most desirable mates of our kind are ruined. The other female contestants and I find ourselves trapped in a giant castle and unable to shift to defend ourselves. The insanity doesn't end there. The vampires say they want to... eh hem... "mate." With us. Um... nope. Not on their lives, which I'm happy to help end. Except when their leader, Ares Raith-who's sexier than I'd like to admit-sets his sights on me, something changes. His dark gaze sends shivers up my spine every time he comes near. But no matter how delicious and mysterious he is, I will never belong to a vampire-not when my family's future and safety depend on it. Soon the games and the vampires' cruelty take their toll, and Ares reveals secrets that change the games completely. Alliances will be made and broken. Passion will reign, and my life will never be the same. ** Enemies-to-lovers romance best suited for ages 17+ readers.
