    About this ebook

    One dark night. One fatal turn. A wild attraction hotter than anything she’s ever known.

    College freshman, Neve Dalton is about to crash head on into something that will turn her world upside down. On her way to school, Neve hopes a fresh, new start will put the pain of losing her parents behind her. But a fatal accident on a lonely highway puts her in the path of dark, dangerous Alpha wolf, Tucker McGraw. With a single touch and a flash of silver in his eyes, Tucker stirs a passion in Neve that leaves her shaken and begging for more. This Alpha’s mark runs deep and triggers a hunger in Neve she can’t explain.

    The minute he lays eyes on Neve, Tucker knows she’s his fated mate. The trouble is, a rival pack wants her dead for what happened on that rain-slick highway. But, Tucker didn’t become Alpha on his drop dead sexy looks alone. He’s fierce, ruthless and deadly. He’ll do anything to claim and protect Neve even if it means fighting the battle of his life.

    Dear Readers: This is part one of a five part paranormal werewolf shifter romance serial. The story continues in Sweet Submission, Rising Heat, Pack Wars and Choosing an Alpha.

      The Alpha's Mark - Kimber White

      1

      In just over ten miles of freeway, it seemed I’d gone from civilization to vast wilderness. This stretch of I-94 East took me through hilly terrain and forest on both sides. The towering pines and thick maples should have put me at ease. I should have enjoyed the sharp, musky scent of the woods and the open sky as dusk settled in. But, this was a foreign land to me, and I was hundreds of miles from the only home I’d ever known, with no plans to ever go back. This wasn’t my place. I was just passing through. Part of me resented the cool, crisp wilderness air traced with a hint of ozone. A storm brewed from the North .

      The first dusting of sprinkling rain hit the windshield of my Ford Escape. I fiddled with the instruments to set the wipers. A breeze picked up, and the tops of the tallest trees on either side of the road started to sway. A crack of thunder made me jump in my seat. A jagged streak of lightning speared into the woods far to the east, and a faint puff of smoke curled up above the

      tree

      line

      .

      I worked the radio dial, trying to find something local for news of a tornado. I tried to remember, is it safer to stay with your car or find a ditch if you’re caught in one? Rain pelted down in earnest. The storm had come up so fast. A leaf plastered to my windshield and got stuck under the wiper blades. Each swipe left a thick smear across my field of vision, and I adjusted the blade speed, trying to

      loosen

      it

      .

      I ducked down, trying to find a spare patch of clear windshield. The rain angled right toward me in thick, heavy drops. If it got much worse, I was going to have to pull over. I did not want to be stuck out here. This wasn’t me. This wasn’t my place. I had no place anymore.

      I didn’t know how much further I had to go until I reached Ann Arbor. Four hours? Maybe less, if this storm didn’t hold me up. I just wanted to get there, except I didn’t really want to be there. Two years ago, it would have been my dream. I earned a music scholarship in voice to the University of Michigan. My Dad had been so proud of me. It would make me the first person in our family to graduate from college. I was all set to leave, and Dad

      got

      sick

      .

      Though he’d never smoked a day in his life, he contracted an aggressive form of lung cancer. They said it was probably caused by his years as a fireman. He fought hard, and lasted longer than most with his same diagnosis. He hung on for over a year. But then just after Christmas, he finally let go. I’d forgone college to take care of him. It was just the two of us. He had no one else. College could wait. But now, seven months later, I’d lost him, and it was time for me to start my own life. Everyone

      said

      so

      .

      Another crack of thunder, and a flash of lightning came even closer. I jumped in my seat again as I struggled to see out of my hopelessly smeared window. A tree limb slammed down in front of me. I swerved to the left to get around it, and almost ended up in a ditch. My heart tripped and my fingers trembled as I gripped the steering wheel. That was a

      close

      one

      .

      The leaf dislodged from my windshield, and I could finally see again. I straightened the wheel, and veered the Escape back across the median. I crested the top of a large hill and started to coast back down, letting my foot up off the accelerator.

      Two golden eyes seemed to appear out of thin air at the bottom of the hill. I blinked hard, trying to let my brain catch up. A wolf stood in the middle of the road directly in my path. It stood still and calm, with its great brown head slightly cocked to the side and its ears perked straight up, as if it were deciding what to make

      of

      me

      .

      Why didn’t it move? I punched the horn, but the wolf didn’t so much as blink its shining, golden eyes. I slammed on the brakes. There was no way I wouldn’t hit the thing. The back of the car fishtailed, and I lost control of it. I tried to wrench the steering wheel hard right.

      The wolf stood there. Just before the moment of impact, I swore I saw it dip its head, almost as if it were acknowledging its fate. The world became a sickening crunch of metal on bone and flesh. Blood, mixed with rain, sprayed my windshield as the car careened into the ditch just past the shoulder of

      the

      road

      .

      My world was a cloud of white and the taste of metal as my airbag deployed and blood filled my mouth. I might have blacked out. What had been noise, chaos, and panic became calm and quiet, except for the steady rhythm of the

      pelting

      rain

      .

      I don’t know how long I sat there. It was at least a moment or two. Maybe more. I finally reached over and unlatched my seat belt. My right shoulder blossomed in pain. I wiggled my fingers and toes. I pushed the airbag down and pulled down the visor mirror. A small line of blood trickled out of my nose and my lip was split, but I seemed to be more or less whole.

      The car door protested with a creak when I pushed it open. The Escape had landed on an angle, resting mostly on the passenger side, so I had to crawl up and out. I had the presence of mind to grab my backpack. I made it two steps up toward the shoulder of the road when my phone buzzed

      to

      life

      .

      911. What is your emergency? said a female voice.

      My fingers shook as I slid the screen open. The car was equipped with 911 Assist. My father had insisted on it. The minute the airbag deployed, the car’s computer sent the call through.

      I’ve crashed, I said. I wiped the blood and rain out of my
