The Claiming

By Sam Crescent

The laws of the moon state each alpha must pick a mate before the age of thirty-five. If no mate has been chosen for the alpha and his pack then the beast takes control for eternity.

Tom has one year to find a woman, claim her, and bind her to his pack. His brothers do not believe in the curse but he does. Time is literally running out. With each passing moon he feels the control of his wolf growing stronger. He needs to find the woman destined for his pack.

Kitty Evans has been dealt a bad hand. After her mother died swallowing up what little money she had, Kitty has been living from place to place, never settling down.

After one brief encounter, Kitty is bound to men who could be her salvation. Can she really give herself to six men?

Chapter One

Tom Snow glanced over at the bus stop. The scent coming off the voluptuous blonde woman was intoxicating. Licking his lips, he felt an answering pulse in his dick as he watched her flick hair off her shoulder. She was the one. The woman he’d been searching for, for over a decade. Feeling euphoric, he headed toward the mystery woman. She hadn’t spotted him yet, which he was thankful for. Roy, Guy, Stuart, Mark, and Joey were all counting on him to find their one mate.

He checked around the street and saw it was practically deserted. Were the fates on his side? Taking a deep breath, he stepped closer to her.

What are you doing? she asked.

How would you like to spend the night with me? he asked.

She laughed. You’re not serious?

I’m more serious than you can believe. Stepping up close, he inhaled her scent. Fuck, she was the one! There was no way he could let her go. You’re the one, he said.

Look, dude, I don’t know what meds you’re on, but you’ve got the wrong girl. She hitched her bag high on her shoulder and stepped away from him. The beast within him reacted. Before he could control what he was doing,
