SYNOPSIS:
It has only been a few months since humanity found out about the various shifters that live among them. This brave new world is not without its challenges; neither for the humans or the shifters. Alpha Squad is formed to help law enforcement agencies deal with shifter related matters, and not a moment too soon! Follow the brave men and women of the squad as they try to come to terms with their new reality, catch criminals and find love along the way.
Boot Camp
Bear shifter Eric King is asked to join Alpha Squad; a task force meant to promote cooperation between shifters and humans in law enforcement, but there are problems: Is Alpha Squad even a serious initiative? And how will he focus on his training when his inner bear insists that the squad leader is his mate?
Friends & Foes
Alpha Squad has received its very first assignment and bear shifter Adam King is excited to jump head-first into the action. Upon investigating a string of seemingly shifter related murders, he finds himself torn between his job and the local police’s main suspect; Felicity Weir; female bear shifter and Adam’s fated mate…
Infiltrator
For the past six months, Thomas Blackwood has been serving two masters: he’s been an active part of Alpha Squad, but only on his old alpha’s say-so. When he finds himself stuck in between two sets of clashing orders, he must make a choice: who does he truly serve? And what would the woman of his dreams, Private Callahan, think of him if she knew he was a traitor?
Showdown
Upon joining Alpha Squad, bear shifter hybrid Sean McMillan realizes there’s a lot more to being a shifter than occasionally sprouting some fur. His first mission: a double murder. That shouldn’t be too hard for the experienced former police detective, but he didn’t count on coming across lab assistant Erin Reid who shows an unusual amount of interest in him. Strangely, the feeling is mutual…
EXCERPT: ALPHA SQUAD: INFILRATOR
by Lorelei Moone
Prologue
*Six Months Ago*
"Thomas,"
Eric Blackwood, alpha of the Wolf settlement in Rannoch, Scotland, spoke in a
low but determined voice.
"Yes, Alpha."
Thomas Blackwood averted his gaze, as was customary when the pack leader
addressed an underling.
"As you know,
since the emergence of the New Alliance and the exposure of our kind to the
world, we’ve been trailing behind the rest of shifterkind in our efforts to
come to terms with the new reality. Now that the human government is starting
some kind of law enforcement program with the New Alliance, we cannot afford to
remain complacent any longer. We must act!"
Thomas blinked a few
times. Where was this conversation headed? "I agree, Sir."
"What would you
say if I asked you to join this new initiative? To be our eyes and ears within
this… what is it called again?"
"Alpha Squad,
Sir."
Alpha Blackwood
scoffed. "That's right. Alpha Squad. I’ve managed to pull a few strings
and get you inserted into their training program. The rest is up to you.
Failure is not an option; our pack relies on you."
Thomas took a deep
breath and nodded solemnly. He would not let down his alpha, or the rest of the
pack. It was a great honor to be chosen for a mission such as this, and he
would never forgive himself if he messed it up.
Plus, this would be the
first time he'd actually move out of Rannoch. It was a chance unlike any other
to see what the rest of the world was like, and he was keen to learn everything
he could.
"A lot rests on
your shoulders, but I wouldn't have chosen you for the job unless I thought you
could hack it," the alpha said. "It's a delicate matter, and you'll
understand that I prefer to keep things in the family for now…"
Thomas nodded again.
Ever since Alpha Blackwood had sent his very own daughter to Edinburgh to work
with the Alliance about a year ago, there weren't any other Blackwoods in the
pack to take on a job like this. Thomas, being the alpha's nephew, was a
logical choice. More so since Thomas's very own parents had passed away a few
years back and the alpha and his wife had taken a special interest in his
education and upbringing. He owed his aunt and uncle a lot, and now the time
had come for him to repay them.
"Thank you, Sir. I
will do my best."
The alpha rested his
hand on Thomas's shoulder.
Even though his hair
was starting to grey around his temples, Alpha Blackwood was an impressive
looking man. His large, strong hand weighed heavy on Thomas's shoulder, even
though the younger wolf was no weakling himself.
"The physical
training should not challenge you too much. Focus your energy on making the
others trust you. They must never suspect that you report to me."
"No problem,"
Thomas said firmly, even though the prospect of having to deceive fellow
trainees and the squad's leadership was a worrying one. He wasn't a liar by
nature.
But if his alpha
commanded it, he had to obey. That was how wolf society worked.
"Good. Training
begins on Monday. Pack up your things and someone will take you to the train
station later today. All the arrangements have been made."
Thomas swallowed hard.
Later today?
He'd been around when
Heidi, his cousin, left for Edinburgh last year. He'd heard the rumors of how
the whole thing went down and even watched as she got into one of the pack's
Jeeps, never to be seen again. She hadn't had any more notice than this, so how
could he expect anything different for himself? He wasn't even the alpha's
direct offspring.
So he didn't argue, and
did what he was told.
Packing did not take
long. Even so, he didn't have much time for goodbyes.
He didn't permit
himself to think or analyze the situation too much. These were his orders, and
he would follow them to the best of his abilities.
Only when he found
himself alone on the train later in the day did he take a short breather.
How strange, leaving
Rannoch. Heidi had never come back home and although rumors were plentiful,
Thomas had no real idea why her departure had been permanent.
Was it by choice? Had
something happened to her out here?
The world outside of
Rannoch was a big place. Perhaps she'd been ill-equipped to deal with it all
and gotten herself into trouble. They were cousins, and not too far apart in
age, but they'd never been close. Still, he couldn't help but wonder what
might’ve happened to her.
And what would become
of him? Would he be successful? Would he be able to keep his true orders under
wraps and fool his fellow recruits?
What would happen if he
was found out?
His train came to a
halt in a quiet station and he observed a tearful reunion outside on the
platform. A young couple, overjoyed to see each other again.
Perhaps the outside
world wasn't all bad. He'd stood by and watched as some of his peers had paired
up around him within Rannoch itself. But he'd never felt any attraction or pull
toward any of the she-wolves in his age group.
This mission into the
great unknown might make him cross paths with his own mate. He certainly hoped
so.
She had to be out there
somewhere; he just hadn't met her yet…
