Lee
never thought he’d find his mate at a club, but even less so, did he expect him
to be, Alkaline, the leader of the mafia organization known as the Claws. If
the lion shifter were not an alpha, things might be easier, but as it is, his
mate is bent on keeping them apart. Not that it matters to Lee, he’ll hunt him
down and make him his.
Alkaline
doesn’t do sweet. Nor vulnerable. Nor submissive. So when his lion decides that
his soulmate is an alpha puma, he refuses to accept it. After all, whoever
heard of two alphas mating? However, resisting Lee is harder than he ever
imagined.
With
two men battling for dominance, who will end up on top? And will their romance
survive the match?

Thank you for having me at your blog today!
I’m excited to share my latest release with you, Alpha’s
Alpha (Moon Point 2). This story is a standalone of a brand new series
which revolves around the shifter bar, Moon Point. If you’ve read Evernight
Publishing’s Owned by the Alpha
anthology, you’ll find the first story in the series there.
Most of the time when I’m writing I have some background
music playing and that usually influences my writing in one way or another. Alpha’s
Alpha wasn’t any different.
Spotify open, headphones on and hands on the keyboard I set
to work. From the first moment, Lee’s and Alkaline’s story was mainly shaped
around Maroon 5’s music, albeit with a few exceptions. Below is a short list of
some of the songs which influenced the story and a little side note so you can
see what part they touched the most.
I hope you enjoy it!
1.
Animals by Maroon 5 ~ Lee and Alkaline met and kissed for the first time when this song
was playing in the background.
2.
Cold by Maroon 5 ~ When the men decided to walk away from each other, this is the song
I kept replaying.
4.
Dani California by Red
hot Chili Peppers ~ This song is Moon Point’s unofficial
anthem. Its drunken patrons love singing to it. It’s a fun song.
5.
Lost by Icon and the
Black Roses ~ At certain moments of the story both characters
felt, well, lost. It’s an emotional song.

Excerpt
The beat of the
music made the floor vibrate. The strobe lights flashed, creating a maddening
effect. Lee lifted his arms toward the ceiling, and swayed his hips. He mouthed
the words to the popular song, allowing the rhythm to wash over him and
obliterate any thoughts and worries he still carried from the long day at work.
The animal within
him stirred. Tossing and turning, it gathered energy from the pulsing tones and
climbed to the surface as if awakening from a long sleep. Lee’s blood pumped
faster. His vision refocused, throwing everything into sharp contrast, from the
shimmering contents of beverages in clear glasses, to the glittery eye makeup
of a random stranger. The club smelled like sweat and alcohol. Bodies pressed
together, swaying, moving. Glass shattered somewhere followed by a chorus of
“Oh!” and loud laughter. All around, people enjoyed a night out, oblivious to
anything more than what lay a few feet from them. Unaware of the hunter in
their midst.
