Aurora Thanks for Reading Sign Up for My Author Newsletter Their Fated Mate Series Acknowledgments About the Author Book Description Armed with a forged identity and burdened by a problematic instinctual magic, I came to Crawford Werewolf University with one mission—to unravel the chilling mysteries shrouding the untimely demise of a few pack observers, and, in doing so, extinguish the insidious thread of untraceable deaths. Little did I know that fate had another plan in store for me… Enter Caden Crawford, the charismatic werewolf Alpha who sets my heart and body ablaze; his twin brother, Aiden Crawford, who wants to be more than a friend; and his beta and best friend, Mateo, the enigmatic beta who seems to hate me. And let’s not forget Levi, my Vampire childhood instructor turned best friend and unrequited love, who doesn’t want to be in a romantic relationship with me. They are the bonds I’ve yearned for, the fated mates my soul craves. But our path is strewn with insurmountable obstacles and forces beyond our control threaten to tear us apart at every turn. Can our bonds withstand the trials that await us, or will the forces beyond our control tear us apart? Wanted Bonds is book one of four in Their Fated Mate series, and ends on a cliffhanger. *If you like these tropes: fated mates, reverse harem / why choose romance, badass female main characters, cinnamon roll Alphas, childhood sweetheart romance, friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, werewolf romances, etc, this series is for you. 1 Aurora It happened at the start of my Supernatural Council Special Training Class. The SCST class was a class designed for Camdine Academy students getting special training to be members of the Supernatural Council, the most powerful organization of the eleven supernatural organizations existing in the human realm. It was a weapon training class, which meant that we were all seated on sparring mats waiting for the professor to start lecturing us about Cath Cróga’s recently released weapon, the dagger that could be sheathed and curved to form a boomerang. However, before Professor Grayson, the current head of Camdine Academy’s SCST Class, could start teaching, a girl burst into the training hall and threw down the gauntlet. “Professor, Aurora Byrne has wronged me and I’m here to challenge her to a duel.” At the sound of my name, I looked up from the little rabbit attached to my bracelet, which I was fiddling with because of boredom, and stared at the silver-haired girl standing in front of our class. She was a beautiful girl with delicate features that made people around her instinctively feel like caring for her and super long legs that looked great in the shorts she was wearing. However, she was definitely not a senior student who was going to graduate at the end of the academy year like me, which was why I didn’t know her, and she shouldn’t know me. But there she was, standing with her arms crossed over her ample chest, glaring at me with gritted teeth as if I killed her pet. “Um . . . may I ask why you’re having this duel with Aurora?” Professor Grayson looked as bewildered as I, and every other person in our training hall felt. “I know she is the daughter of powerful people. That prominent Fae Omega, Amelia Byrne, right? I also know that her father has a prominent position in the Supernatural Council, but my parents are powerful, too. I refuse to walk around her like everyone else at the Academy does. Since she doesn’t want to let go of my true mate the easy way, then we’ll duel it out and if I win, she has to stay away from my true mate.” She said, still glaring at me. “But . . . Aurora doesn’t have battle-type instinctual magic like you, and you’re no match for her physical combat skills. Elle, are you sure you want to duel with her? Maybe you shouldn’t make a hasty decision?” Professor Grayson asked again. “She threatened my true mate and refused to let him mate with me just because her father has a prominent position in the Supernatural Council department he hopes to be a part of. Professor, are you trying to defend her?” Murmurs filled the room as Elle turned away from Professor Grayson and stared at me as I stood up from where I was sitting on a sparring mat. She continued talking, staring at me with a defiant look. “I heard Fae Omegas have more than one mate? Is this what your mother does? Steal other people’s true mates by enticing or threatening them and then tell everyone that she’s their true mate?” While she had a pretty face, Elle had a nasty mouth. Apart from the fact that I didn’t steal anyone’s true mate, it was annoying that, just like everyone else, she was making the same assumptions about Fae Omegas just because they had multiple mates.
