Sold to pay a gambling debt, Sera expected to be a prisoner. She didn’t expect to be a test subject.
Sera's ex skipped town, leaving her on the hook for his debt to the local werewolf pack. When payment comes due, she expects to work it off. She’s just a human in a world of predators, but the reality is worse than she ever dreamed. Forced to ingest an experimental serum, Sera is nothing more than a guinea pig to the pack's lunatic alchemist. He's not testing her strength or her loyalty—he’s testing a drug designed to bridge the gap between Predator and Prey.
And she’s the only one who has survived the dose.
Kael is the pack’s enforcer—cold, pragmatic, and focused on his orders. Keep the alchemist from freelancing, keep the buyers from stealing, and above all, keep the human test subject alive until the data is gathered.
But when the serum forces a primal, permanent bond between them, the calculation fails.
Kael didn't want a mate, and Sera was never supposed to be more than a data point. Now, they are chained together by a biological glitch that neither of them can fight, forced to navigate a pack that views their bond as a dangerous anomaly.
The serum worked. Now they have to survive the side effects.
Alpha Test is a dark paranormal romance featuring a captive human heroine, a desperate enforcer, forced proximity, dubious consent that transforms into fierce devotion, and a bond that shouldn’t exist—but refuses to break. First in the Predator x Prey series.
Sera is both fierce and vulnerable, and Kael is the perfect blend of protector and predator. I really enjoyed this short romance. Perfect for winding down in the evening.
I wish the story was longer. It was too short, that’s why I gave it a 4 rating, but overall, a great read about two people coming together despite the odds against them.
A nice quick story but felt parts of it were out of order or even wrong (spoiler: speaking to the pack Alpha who tells him about his grandmother, then a chapter later reporting to alpha who talks about his grandmother like he hasn’t said it before etc.) so needs editorial review and update.
