Mate by Ali Hazelwood

She was born to end a war. He was born to protect her. Fate has other plans.

In Mate, the fiercely romantic, action-packed companion to Ali Hazelwood’s New York Times bestselling Bride, an orphaned hybrid and a dominant Alpha must decide what they’re willing to risk when the past refuses to stay buried.

From the back cover:

Serena Paris is orphaned, pack-less, and one of a kind. Coming forward as the first Human-Were hybrid was supposed to heal a centuries-long rift between species. Instead, it made her a target, prey to the ruthless political machinations between Weres, Vampyres, and Humans. With her enemies closing in on her, she has only one option left—if he’ll have her.

As Alpha of the Northwest pack, Koen Alexander commands obedience. His authority is so absolute, only a fool would threaten his mate. It doesn’t matter if Serena doesn’t reciprocate his feelings, nothing will stop him from keeping her safe.

But power-hungry Vampyres and Weres are not the only threats chasing Serena. Sooner or later, her past is bound to catch up with her—and Koen might be the only thing standing between her and total annihilation....
