An alpha with a storied legacy. An independent woman rebuilding after grief. Forbidden desire—for only one is human….

Marked by the Alpha
Tolstone Wolf Shifters Book 1
by: Sheritta Bitikofer
Genre: Paranormal Fated Mates Romance



“Why are you lying to me? Lying to yourself?” Dominic beseeched, now his turn to interrupt. “I know you feel something between us because I feel it too.” He rushed forward, heedless of the consequences, and took her hand to press it to his chest. “You can’t tell me this is all one-sided. I knew the moment you walked into this store that you were special.” 

Erica rolled her eyes and slipped her hand out of his grasp. “Those lines are so old, Dominic. If you think saying all the right things is going to make me change my mind, you’re wrong.” 

As if he had been physically slapped in the face, Dominic staggered. “Lines? Is that what you think this is? Like I’m just playing you?” 

“Aren’t you?” she sneered. “Isn’t that what guys like you do? Say all those pretty things like ‘I read in my spare time’ and ‘It’s such a burden to be needed’ and all that bullshit. Then, when you have the girl, you dump her for the newest thing that comes along. You’re only interested because I’m something new in town, right? Someone new to win over.”

His mouth hung open. “Why would you—"

Then he stopped. He was going to ask why she would believe something so heinous, so stereotypical and cynical. Then he remembered what she had told him last night. She never grew up with a father, and if he could take a wild guess, he would have said that her mother planted those ideas in her head. No man could be trusted. A woman should rely on herself and no one else. Erica’s entire childhood would have been one jaded, dysfunctional mess, and this was the kind of baggage she carried into adulthood.

The mating bond was there and he knew everything out of her mouth was forced. She might have believed what she said, but her heart wasn’t in her accusations. Below the anger, below those hateful words, Erica really didn’t want this to end. The mating bond told him that much, otherwise, this thing between them would have unraveled already, wouldn’t it?

Too dumbfounded, he just stared into her beautiful face, the one that was on the verge of bursting into fresh tears. Her pride denied her the release. He would have loved for her to come apart in his hands, just so he could have the privilege of comforting her when she needed it most and put the pieces back together the right way. 

“What can I do to make you believe me?”

Erica looked away, and he saw her throat work. “I don’t know if there is anything you could say.” 

Just then, his pocket buzzed and chimed, and he was ready to smash the damned cellphone. 

“Go ahead,” she said as she marched away. “Go play hero for someone else.”



BLURB:

An alpha with a storied legacy. An independent woman rebuilding after grief. Forbidden desire—for only one is human….

After her mother’s death, photographer Erica Barrett, buys a home she and her mother obsessed over during her childhood in the quaintly historical town of Tolstone. Her magnetic next door neighbor intrigues and disturbs her. The sensual pull feels otherworldly.

Wolf shifter Dominic Beaumont never wanted to be the prime alpha of the sanctuary city, Tolstone, but when his father dies, he’s forced to step up as pack leader and prime alpha over all the wolf packs sheltering in his town. Erica’s arrival is dangerous. The attraction is fierce and instant, but duty comes first.

When revelations about Erica’s past and parentage create chaos, and she questions everything she thought she knew about herself, Dominic is her strength. But as tension builds in the pack, and his leadership is challenged, love becomes a risk that could cost him his authority, his people, and everything he’s sworn to protect.

Perfect for readers craving illicit wolf-shifter romance filled with fate, secrets, rebellion and an alpha willing to risk everything for love.

A Character Reveal & A Weekly Update!

Hello everyone!

I hope you're all having a pleasant week! It's hard to believe that my book has already been out for 2 weeks, already! Time moves incredibly fast, no? I've learned a lot from this last book, from the deep dive on research into selkies in Celtic mythology all the way to the process of self-publishing though I still have a long way to go on that front!

I am already working on my next book. I've been wanting to do some paranormal writing for a while now. My goal is to have this one completely written and ready for print by early October. So far, I've only completed the outline and prologue, but ideas I put in the timeline gave me the heebie-jeebies. If you like ghost stories, I'm your girl! Of course, I still have lots of ideas for more fantasy books, and maybe even some fantasy paranormal crossovers?

But for today, I would like to start with character introductions for my latest book, “Selkie’s Storm,” and a quick reminder that you can download the digital copy for 99¢ and/or paperback for $12.99 at the following locations:


Barne's and Noble

Smashwords

Fable

Amazon 

(side note Amazon has it listed as Selkie's Fire at the moment and I'm trying to get it changed to the actual title. Amazing, right? I'm amazing hah!)  

Anyway, with no further ado, let me introduce you to my main character, Selene Sinclair.

Selene was taken from her familial pod at the tender age of seven by black market fishermen in the quaint Scottish village of Hemlock. They planned to sell her to a dark mage who wants to use her to gain power over magical beings and humans alike. She escapes him with the help of an unlikely ally and a kindly mage family. Who took her in as their own daughter?

Once Selene comes of age to complete her postsecondary education, she nervously enters the hallowed halls of Emberheart's Lorekeepers Academy, it is located off the Ember's Coast, which was once a Grand expansive, yet oppressive kingdom, but now a free and fair Republic. The Academy is well known for its training of mage warriors, but also for its shifter studies program.

Serene's goal for school is not only to learn about her selkie heritage and abilities but also to learn how to become a great healer like her adopted mother, Lydia. Instead, she ends up with a werewolf as her best friend, a love interest who is a dragon kin, and makes an enemy out of a jealous fire mage, a kidnapped dear family friend, and an angry dark mage who has had ten years to stew in his own desires for power and revenge all on the first day!

I really hope my readers enjoy the story. If you've picked up a copy or have questions about the story or characters, I'd love to hear from you!

Until then, see you next week where I'll have a new character waiting for you, and an announcement for an upcoming chance to win your free signed paperback copy of “Selkie's Storm!”
