Breeders

A post apocalyptic werewolf romance that will leave you strapped to the bed begging for more.

Human society has collapsed, the result of a nuclear war that leveled cities and left the few survivors as disease-ridden scavengers. The only ones left and capable to rule are the lycans whose bodies are better able to withstand the effects of radiation.

After twelve bloody years of infighting, ten packs emerge victorious, and what was one North America is carved up into pack territories. But the truce is shaky, and in an effort at a lasting peace, the big ten agree to outlaw the practice of mates (a key power dynamic within The Pack Wars).

Welcome to a dystopian world where families are abolished, mates are forbidden, and love is a thing of the past.

Dame

To serve the pack, I must touch the untouchable girl.

Cassie. Shrouded in darkness, I watched her when we were children, helplessly drawn to her light.

She’s always been the one woman I could lose myself in. It’s an obsession I’m only able to shake when we’re separated at puberty, and I find new purpose guarding the pack borders. But I’m not prepared when I’m selected for the breeding program and find Cassie in a heat-induced-lust-state begging me to take her.

Behind the ram’s mask, my identity is secure, and I’m free to let loose the beast within.

It’s part of the program.

Natural.

Expected.

I just have to find a way to make sure it ends there.

Pack above all.

Cassie

Ecstatic to be chosen for the breeding program, I’m thrilled my dream of becoming a pack mother can come true. But I have to survive the program first, and with no exposure to men since puberty, the thought of a slew of masked strangers visiting me during my heat is terrifying.

Or it should be terrifying, until the heat takes hold, and the man with the ram’s mask enters my room. With his firm touch, he puts all my fears at ease and plays my body like it’s an instrument he was born to.

I want him, but I find myself craving more than our brief encounters in the breeding room.

I want to know him, and with all paired breeders being housed together between heats, he’s here somewhere among the men of my dorm.

Something tells me that when I unmask him, it’ll all make sense.

Game on.
