Fangs and Fur in the French Quarter. Fangs and Fur, #1

In the sultry shadows of Louisiana's marshes, Cammie's life explodes into chaos when a mysterious vial unleashes her inner beast. Thrust into a world of snarling werewolves and ancient magic, she's no damsel-she's a force, clawing her way through betrayal, danger, and a past that won't let go. Her only ally? Reed, a six-hundred-year-old alpha whose scorching gaze and primal pull scream true mate-but Cammie's not here to swoon.
She demands love on her terms, even as their bond threatens to consume them both. As feral wolves stalk the night and a dark prophecy looms, Cammie's newfound power could reshape the supernatural world-or tear it apart. With enemies closing in and magic sparking in her veins, she'll have to embrace the beast within to survive. One thing's certain: this alpha doesn't back down, and she's rewriting the rules of destiny, one growl at a time.
Excerpt:I sipped my orange juice, eyeing Reed across the kitchen. His green eyes burned, like I was the only thing in his world. "You're my mate, Cammie. My true mate, " he said, voice raw. I nodded, not shocked, but feeling. nothing. "So I gathered, " I said, casual as if we were talking weather. "But I have to phase to recognize it, right?" He nodded, jaw tight. "Sorry, even if that happens, I probably won't remember it." I flopped onto the couch, grabbing the remote.
"If it makes you feel better, I can still smell you. It's nice.""Nice? That's it?" Reed's voice cracked, like I'd gut-punched him. I laughed, it sounded hollow."You smelled better when I was beneath the cemetery. You know, where you left me and then Erik threw me out on my ass?" His growl rattled my bones, and I laughed harder. "Too much has happened, Reed. I don't care." I flipped through channels, ignoring the fire in his stare.
My heart was numb, my fear gone, but his scent-wildflowers and power-stirred something deep. I wasn't ready to admit it, but this alpha, this man who'd waited centuries, was fighting for me. And I was making him work for it.
