BLURB:
LOVE AND SACRIFICE
Omegas choose their mates, and
Lily had been certain Jensgar would be happy she had chosen him. Instead, the
former general of the king's army refused her, forcing her to the leave the
pack she'd adopted. Humiliated and heartbroken, she returns to the Black Ridge
Pack, only to find the pitying glances and hushed comments too much to bear.
She has no home, and no one to call her own. Convinced she has no other choice,
she flees to the forest to live as a wolf. She is shocked when Jensgar, in wolf
form, comes for her, and slowly convinces her to trust him again. But the woods
hold secrets, and danger. When Jensgar's life is threatened, Lily gives up
everything to save the man she loves, and once again puts her chance for
happiness in peril.
Excerpt:
He stepped onto his front porch and
couldn’t help but stop to look at the display of color in front of him. Another
gift from Lily. The blooms she’d coaxed to weave up the posts and across the
railings stretched outward to reach the late afternoon sun.
Jensgar could picture the sunny day
she’d given him this gift as if it were yesterday. She’d been working in the
fields helping the pack farmers with planting their new crops. Lily had the
gift of fertility, among others, and shared it with anyone who needed it. He
had watched over her while she remained in the fields, not a hard task in the
least. He felt a certain contentment when he was with her that he’d not felt in
well over one hundred years.
Lily had spent most of the day out
in the hot fields. He’d gone to her to escort her back to the pack house. She’d
finished the second bottle of water he’d made her drink, not wanting her to
become dehydrated, as they’d passed his cottage. She stopped midstride and
stared at his humble home. He had been a bit self-conscious when she walked up
to the gardens and sunk her hands into the earth.
Vines had sprouted almost instantly
and wrapped themselves around the front railing before climbing up the timber walls.
When she’d finished the front of his house, Lily stood back and viewed her
creation with a satisfied smile. At the time, Jensgar hadn’t realized how
poignant and appropriate her next words would be.
“Something to remember me by.” She’d
smiled at him but nothing could hide her sadness.
Now, Jensgar buried his face in the
soft blooms and breathed deeply. For a brief second he felt her presence, but
all too soon it was gone. In time, Lily would understand that he’d done what
was best for her future. She was a powerful omega destined to lead a pack, not
to settle down with a has-been. Sure, he’d been the general of armies, chosen
by the king himself, but now as he approached his four hundredth year it was
only a matter of time before he’d be retired for someone younger.
