How I Met My Mate

Cole Ward's pack has a secret. Cole Ward has a bigger problem: the human reporter sent to sniff it out is his fated mate.His orders were simple — distract her, deter her, keep her away from pack business. But babysitting duty was never supposed to feel like this.  One look at Alexis Monroe and Cole's wolf decides hers before Cole's brain gets a vote. Now the guy assigned to keep her away from pack business can't stop finding excuses to be near her — tea, home-cooked dinners, and the growing sense that his to-do list is just her name, over and over.Alexis didn't come to Cedar Run for a fling with the world's most infuriating bodyguard. She came for a story. But there's something about the man who keeps lying to her face that makes her want to stay anyway — claws, secrets, and all.He's the Alpha's brother. She's the story that could take down his whole pack. Somebody should probably tell his wolf that's a problem.
