Mate

Serena Paris is the first Human-Were hybrid, and her existence alone is enough to unsettle the fragile arrangements between Weres, Vampyres and Humans. Ali Hazelwood places her at the centre of a political standoff, then puts her under the protection of Koen Alexander, Alpha of the Northwest pack, a man with reasons of his own for keeping her alive. The novel moves between negotiation and open threat while the two work out what loyalty costs, and it reads as a companion to Bride rather than a direct continuation. What to expect: • Paranormal romance with a strong thread of political intrigue • A hybrid protagonist who belongs fully to none of the three factions • An Alpha whose motives stay ambiguous for much of the book • Connected to Bride but built to stand on its own For readers of paranormal romance and anyone who followed Hazelwood's earlier work into this world.
