Shifter, Vampire True Mates story.
Justice Volkov is the youngest Alpha Zenith to ever lead the wolf shifters. Following in his father’s large paw prints was a responsibility he met head on. Now at age thirty-three, he is alpha of the alphas. As a direct descendant of the original Siberian pack, his wolf is bigger and stronger than Justice, himself is sometimes able to control.
“His wolf howled long and hard but Justice kept it inside. It felt like a bass drum beating against his rib cage. The harsh breaths, angry snarls and the determined pacing inside him was overtaking him. All the while… his mate kept calling.”
Justice takes his role of leadership and his legacy very seriously. He has little time for romance, not to mention a true mate. His packs are his priority. With a human government trying to regulate them, an uprising of rogue shifters, and a violent team of scientists trying to experiment on them, Justice has his hands way too full.
Chadwick ‘Wick’ Bentley is not enthusiastic when the captain of his escort tells him he has to leave his comfortable London home and go back to the States. As the Vampire King, he has no choice but to get his species back in line before they cause anymore chaos. At over two-hundred years old, Wick is no one to trifle with, but his smooth, charismatic manner makes him quite unique, despite the negative reputation vampires have. Wick has had nothing but time up to this point. He doesn’t feel the need to make issues pressing. Nothing is urgent in his life. Until he meets Justice. His beloved.
“Natural enemies can’t be mates.” Or so Justice thought. He knows his skepticism and rejection is hurting his mate, so while he fights their connection, Wick gets help from a source very close to Justice to help him win his beloved’s heart. Wick is a force all on his own, but when he’s blessed with a special gift from the Mother herself, not even Justice’s powerful wolf can prevent the prophesy from being fulfilled.
This story DOES NOT contain/mention MPREG. No multiple pairings. It does not end on a cliffhanger and has an HEA.
Warning: This book is MM paranormal: If you DO NOT like hot, alpha men shifting into large wolves, or vampires feeding from their mates, this may not be your read.

Wick looked around at the
beautiful scenery of the Humboldt’s vast land. Acres and acres. The rolling
greens where they’d cleared the trees were nothing short of picturesque. Cabins
were everywhere. Farms and livestock were being cared for. Wick saw at least
two schools, and even a couple makeshift stores.
“They’re looking a little
hostile, Captain,” Ramon noted, turning and watching all angles of their
vehicle, especially Wick’s side.
“They’re just going about their
jobs. It’s curiosity. Nothing more. Vampires probably don’t visit every day.”
Wick was about to agree with his
captain but stopped short when he caught sight of the row of shifters standing
in front of a large two-story home with sand-colored, handcrafted logs and a
huge wraparound porch. Better craftsmanship than any one hundred story
skyscraper Wick had ever seen. It looked to be the pack’s hierarchy. They stood
in a diamond formation with his Beloved standing in the front. Another large
man was to his left and Wick assumed that to be this pack’s Alpha because the
man on Justice’s right was his beta and brother. Wick remembered him from the
police station. Several more men spanned down the line, with a few women mixed
in. All looking strong and ready for whatever was about to happen. Aside from
the few men milling about, working or surveying the grounds, the land was void
of any other pack members.
Even through the dark windows the
shifters could see them. The sun was just at the tip of the tall redwoods
behind the cabin, casting the open sky in an array of striking golds and
ambers, before it disappeared for the night. This was the moment he’d waited
for. Wick hadn’t tried to use his link with Justice, scared to attempt it only
to find it gone. He’d felt the apprehension from his Beloved when he thought of
how they could live and exist together even though they were so different. Wick
wasn’t all that dissimilar from his gorgeous mate, which he was about to show
him. Wick opened the door and stepped out, the bright sun hitting him in his
face. He tilted his head up and smiled at the romantic sky. The warmth felt
lovely on his typically cool skin. The gasps and murmurs of disbelief were
easily heard… including his Beloved’s.
A.E. Via has been a best-selling author in the beautiful gay romance genre for four years now, but she’s no stranger to MM. She’s been an avid reader of LGBTQ Romance for over fifteen years before she picked up her laptop to place her own kiss on this genre. She’s also the founder and owner of Via Star Wings Books, having published a couple great new up and coming MM authors.
A.E. has a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Virginia Wesleyan College that she used to start her own paralegal firm after she graduated in 2008. She spent five years preparing and filing bankruptcy petitions for struggling blue collar workers who couldn’t afford to file with a lawyer. It was a rewarding and satisfying career… but another path called to her. Writing.
A.E.’s writing embodies everything from hopelessly romantic to adventure, to scandalous. Stories that often include intriguing edges and twists that take readers to new, thought-provoking depths.
Now that she’s gotten over her 10 books published hump, she’s kind of known now for her hardcore, play rough and love hard, bad boy, alphas. However, she does like to push herself to step out of her comfort zone, exploring with different tropes, but she won’t push herself into a whole other genre. She’s head over heels for MM romance and has tons of more hot stories to tell.
