    About this ebook

    Darius Stewart has been banished and offered the leadership of a new pack. With the pack to settle and a rogue wolf terrorizing the local population, threatening to expose their species, the last thing he needs is a mate further complicating his life.

    That's just fine with Meg O'Reilly. A witch, she knows something is not right in her town. Discovering there are good werewolves, bad werewolves, and the possessive, bossy, sexy alpha wolf trying to take over her life is not exactly welcome. Too bad she can't seem to keep her distance.

    Loribelle Hunt

    Loribelle is like the South she calls home. Hot and sultry. Languid and sexy. Magnolias and gardenias scent her silk lined boudoir, and men and children alike bow to her magnificence... Okay, maybe it isn’t quite that glamorous. She does have two smart and lovely daughters who give her a run for her money and a son that will one day be someone’s model of a romance hero. (She promises.) Her husband is a real life hero, and Loribelle just tries to keep up with the demands of military life. In between, she writes a book or two. She’s had every job under the sun, but haven’t most writers? That Army military police, bookstore manager, waitress, wedding photographer, website designer experience has to come in useful sometimes. As they say in the South, it all washes out in the end. She loves hearing from her readers and can be found at http://www.loribellehunt.com.

      Bad Moon Rising: Lunar Mates 2 (Excerpt)

      Prologue

      The courtyard outside the community hall was filled to capacity. It should have felt like any other pack meeting. It was anything but. This meeting would change Darius's life. Would rip apart his best friendships and uproot him from his home. He knew that in his bones, and the shock of it held him still. To act for his own best interests would be a worse betrayal. It wasn't Jackson's or Eric's or Trey's fault they were here now, but that didn’t make it suck any less.

      Several men stopped and quietly wished him luck, but more visited the man standing on the opposite side of the small courtyard in front. Jackson. One of his best fucking friends, and who now stood on the opposite of a huge divide. One of them would lead here, and it was extremely likely it wouldn’t be Darius. He would have to leave if he wasn’t picked. A pack couldn’t have two alphas.

      His gaze skated to the council, all alphas except Anthony, the leader of the hunters, who stood back in an isolated circle and took it all in. He'd met all of them before, at some point or other over the years. They were all his father's generation, except Anthony and Gage, the panhandle pack alpha. Darius tried to look at the situation from their point of view. He knew what they'd be thinking. Knew what their reasoning would be. They'd come to appoint a new alpha to the pack because Brant had died without warning and without naming a successor. Normally, that wouldn’t have been necessary, but nothing was normal here.

      They weren’t just looking for a strong leader. They’d choose someone well respected by the majority of the adult males. Brant had ruled the clan with an iron fist, and Darius was considered the most like Brant, who’d also excelled at pitting him against Jackson. He’d maneuvered them like a chess master, weakening the only two males strong enough to challenge his rule.

      Darius doubted he was the upcoming choice. The pack had stagnated under Brant’s leadership. Its members were looking for something new and a lot more freedom. He couldn’t blame them—he wanted more freedom himself.

      He gritted his teeth. Never mind that he was cast in the same mold. He was Brant’s enforcer, and that made him unpopular except for a few loyal childhood friends who saw beyond his official function. Like Jackson, his opponent. Another made his way through the bottleneck at the courtyard’s entrance and came to stand beside him. He released a sigh of relief. He should have known Eric would stand at his side.

      Evening.

      Darius snorted in response. Yeah, best to leave the good off that.

      Eric nodded toward the group across the courtyard. Jackson’s got quite a crowd over there.

      Noticed that.

      Talkative tonight, huh? Eric grinned.

      Darius bit back a laugh. A few weeks earlier Eric had claimed his mate, and he had been irrepressibly, and irritatingly, cheerful ever since. If Darius weren’t so happy for his old friend, he’d be tempted to strangle him.

      That’s good. I can talk for both of us. Eric changed the subject. Trey’s back. Have you seen him?

      No.

      It worried him. Darius had counted on Trey’s unspoken support during the Naming, but so far Trey had avoided him since his return two days ago.

      Not to worry. He’s avoiding us all. I think that’s a good sign, actually. Maybe he’s finally going to retire from the hunters.

      Darius raised an eyebrow.

      Eric shrugged. Why avoid any of us if he wasn’t? He wouldn’t have any say in this. If he leaves the hunters, he’ll have to choose. We all know someone’s getting banished tonight. And they all knew those odds were in Darius’s favor.

      Eric nodded toward the entrance. There he is now.

      They turned to watch as the sea of people parted to let Trey through. It wasn’t that he looked so imposing, though he did. It had been his choice to become a hunter at such a young age—barely sixteen—after his parents had been killed by a rogue werewolf, that no one ever forgot. Trey had joined the group of lone wolves who hunted shifters who'd gone rogue, and as a result was barred from ever becoming alpha or beta of a pack. He'd lasted a damned long time at it too, earning himself a reputation as ruthless, merciless, and cold-blooded. They said he never gave up and never lost his quarry.

      Out of the corner of his eye, Darius saw Jackson also turn to watch Trey’s entrance. He passed the three of them without
