Kane’s
mate Blurb:
Faith's
life has always balanced in two worlds—the normal human world and the
supernatural. Now she has to choose between the two.
Faith York is human, but she has psychic
powers, which is a little odd since neither of her parents have paranormal
abilities. Thankfully, the werewolf family who lived around the corner help her
learn to control her powers. She instantly fell in love with the entire family,
but especially Kane, the oldest son who is next in line to be Alpha.
Unfortunately, Kane doesn't see Faith the same way she sees him. Heartbroken,
she leaves town.
When Faith returns from two years
overseas, her parents throw her a welcome home party. Faith is shocked when
Kane kidnaps her from the party and mate marks her. Now she struggles with the
choice of whether to leave again and live a normal life—a life she yearns
for—or stay with the man she's always dreamed of and live a supernatural life.
To complicate matters further, her
psychic powers intensify and she begins to have visions of an upcoming demon
Armageddon. Then she learns she was switched at birth, and she has a
half-brother…who is half demon.
Faith must be stronger than she ever
believed possible, and maybe in the process, she can trust herself to give Kane
another chance.

Kane's
Mate – Excerpt
It's so nice to be home, Faith thought.
Her parents were throwing her a welcome home party, and she couldn't wait to
see her second family. She had missed Jamie and his family so much. Faith's
parents had picked her up from the airport yesterday, and she'd spent a
relaxing afternoon with them. But tonight she hoped everyone she loved would be
there, bar one. She couldn't see him, not yet, she needed time to settle, build
up her walls against him. Faith shook her head and finished getting ready for
her party.
Two hours later, the party had started
and Faith was chatting to all her friends, but she couldn't stay focused on the
conversation around her, because she was eagerly awaiting some of the most
important people in her life. Her werewolf family was late, and she was
starting to get upset.
She had been away for two years with
only phone contact with the Wolfens. She never missed speaking to at least one
of them every night. They were the reason she had come home, and why she'd left
in the first place. It's not that she wasn't grateful to them, especially as
they'd helped her learn to control her psychic gifts, but they always seemed to
take over and overprotect her. She sighed and gave herself a little shake,
hoping it would get her back into the conversation around her.
When Faith finally felt her wolf family
arrive, she smiled, excused herself from the friends she was talking to, and
ran outside to greet them. Faith kissed all the werewolves, and when she
reached Jamie she jumped on him, kissing his cheek. "I missed my best friend
so much," Faith told him.
Jamie chuckled. "We talked almost
every day."
"I missed your hugs, and I miss
your stupid jokes, they don't have the same effect over the phone." Faith
kissed both of his cheeks.
She looked up and saw Kane first before
she felt him. He was special. Faith loved her werewolf family, but the love she
had for Kane was different, more intense, sexual, a love she felt to the bottom
of her soul. The problem was, he didn't want her.
Faith looked over Jamie's shoulder, trying
for a casual, "Hi, Kane."
She turned her head back to Jamie before
she did something stupid like jump on Kane and kiss him to show him how much
she loved him and didn't want to live without him anymore.
Without thinking of the consequences,
she kissed Jamie on the mouth, trying not to put all her regret and self-hatred
at loving Kane into it. Jamie seemed startled at first, but then he grabbed her
arse to hold her closer to him, and he really got into it.
Faith wished she loved Jamie the way she
loved Kane. God, she wished she felt something from this kiss. Nothing…she felt
nothing for Jamie beyond friendship.
She sighed in thanks when her mother
called her inside as she had an overseas caller. Faith walked into the house,
not
daring to look back at the group,
knowing if she did she would have to acknowledge what was going on.

Kane got out of his car and froze as
chocolate and vanilla assaulted his senses. He looked for the source, terrified
because he knew who it would be. His gaze fell on an absolutely gorgeous,
grown-up Faith, and his wolf stood at attention for the first time in more than
four years. It growled in his head mate, take, mate.
Kane stared at Faith as she greeted his
family. When she came to Jamie she jumped on him, kissing his cheek. Kane
fought with his wolf as he waited patiently for Faith to acknowledge him. All
she did was look at him with a blank expression and say "hi" then
turn her head to kiss Jamie on the mouth.
Kane snapped. He growled and lunged for
Jamie only to be held back by his brothers, Rane and Arden. "Mine,"
he snarled as he struggled to free himself.
He knew he wasn't being rational. Jamie
was his brother and Faith's best friend, but it seemed his wolf, and deep down
he admitted to himself, he didn't care. The kiss ended when Faith was called
inside. She excused herself and left without even looking back.
Jamie turned to him, and his face paled
and his eyes widened as the realization seemed to sink in. Jamie screamed,
"No, no, no, you can't have her. She can't be your true mate."
Kane surged forward again, and this time
he found himself free. He got up in Jamie's face, making sure his alpha wolf
showed, and bellowed, "Mine. Don't touch her again. Next time I will kill
you, brother or not."
Bio:
I'm a mother of four terrors between the
ages of two and seven. In my spare time, the little I have, I write and take
off into my own worlds. As a child, I spent a lot of time in my own dream
world. I even had an imaginary friend. In primary school I would constantly
make up stories, which got me into lots of trouble. My mother said I always had
an overactive imagination.
I started writing down my story ideas in
high school, and never really stopped. Writing, I have to say, is my salvation.
After I've cleaned up and gotten all the kids in bed, I sit at my computer—or
sometimes a notebook with a pencil—and relax, write, and escape.
I love to hear from any of my readers,
so feel free to send me an email and 'like' me on Facebook.
