The Alpha Next Door
READING AGE 12+
Twenty-three-year-old Ava Bennett has always considered herself painfully ordinary. She lives alone, works at a local bookstore, and has spent her life wondering why she never quite fit in. Strange dreams, an unusually strong sense of smell, and a habit of healing from injuries faster than anyone else have always seemed like odd quirks.
At the same time, her new neighbor, Ethan Blackwood, has just moved into town. He's the Alpha of one of the strongest packs in the region, hiding in plain sight while investigating rumors of a mysterious bloodline long thought to be extinct.
The moment he meets Ava, his wolf is captivated.
But that's impossible.
She smells human.
Everything changes in one night...
Unfold
Ava didn't sleep well that night.
She tossed beneath her comforter, drifting in and out of dreams that felt more like memories than imagination. She saw towering pine trees stretching endlessly beneath a silver moon, their branches swaying even though there was no wind. Somewhere in the darkness, something ran ahead of her.
