Mate - Ali Hazelwood

A love that defies fate

From New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood comes Mate—a thrilling companion to her hit novel Bride. Blending fantasy, passion, and peril, Hazelwood delivers a story where love and loyalty are tested against destiny itself.

Serena Paris is no ordinary woman. The first Human-Were hybrid, she was meant to bridge the divide between species—but instead became a symbol of fear and division. Hunted by those who see her as a threat, Serena must turn to the one person she swore she’d never need: Koen Alexander, the powerful Alpha of the Northwest pack.

A bond that burns brighter than fate

Koen rules with absolute authority, his strength and command unquestioned. But when Serena reenters his world, his carefully controlled life spirals into chaos. As danger closes in—from rival Weres, vengeful Vampyres, and Serena’s haunted past—Koen must protect his reluctant mate at any cost, even if it means sacrificing his heart.
