Mate Run

Mate Run
A Dark Fantasy Paranormal Romance

By Chelsea Queen

"Little bunny, little bunny... Wolf is HUNGRY."

Elisabeth Turner has spent her entire life surviving.

A cruel mother. Endless poverty. A town that never noticed when she was hurting. She thought the worst monsters lived in her world-until the night glowing eyes emerged from the fog and dragged her into the darkness.

Now Elisabeth is trapped in Skeldgard, a brutal hidden kingdom where Viking werewolves rule beneath the blessing of the Moon Goddess and human girls are hunted in a deadly tradition known as the Mate Run.

Barefoot and marked by silver blood magic, Elisabeth is thrown into the frozen wilderness with only one rule:

Run.

If she survives until dawn, she wins her freedom.

If she's caught... she belongs to the wolf who claims her.

But the moment Elisabeth's blood is spilled beneath the moonlight, everything changes.

Ancient magic awakens inside her veins.

The wolves fear her.

The fae whisper prophecies about her.

And Soren-the terrifying Alpha who hunted her through the forest-looks at her like fate itself has returned from the dead.

As war rises across the kingdoms and ancient creatures awaken beneath the mountains, Elisabeth discovers she is tied to a forgotten bloodline powerful enough to save both worlds... or destroy them completely.

And the closer she grows to the ruthless wolf sworn to protect her, the more dangerous her destiny becomes.

Because some bonds are written in blood.

And some loves are powerful enough to awaken monsters.
