Alpha By Right: A Dark M/M Shifter Romance of Dominance, Desire, and Defiance
Two Alphas. One forbidden bond. A death sentence if they’re caught.
Austin Ashpine is barely holding his pack together. With his father dead and his people starving, the last thing he needs is the Council interfering. When a sleek, storm-scented Enforcer arrives to audit his claim to leadership, Austin prepares for a fight. He doesn’t expect the spark that jumps between them—or the terrifying biological truth it reveals.
Grant Jennings is a blade for the Concord. He follows orders, enforces stability, and buries his emotions under layers of protocol. But the moment he touches Austin, his control shatters. An Alpha-Alpha bond is impossible, illegal, and punishable by execution. Yet, around Austin, Grant’s wolf demands he submit, claim, and protect.
With a corrupt Council official orchestrating attacks on the border and professional hunters closing in, Austin and Grant are forced into a dangerous proximity. To save the pack, they must pretend to be professional rivals. But as the threats mount and the heat between them becomes undeniable, they have to make a follow the laws that want them dead, or rewrite the rules of nature to survive.
ALPHA BY RIGHT is a high-heat, M/M shifter romance featuring a forbidden Alpha/Alpha pairing, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a fight for survival against a corrupt dystopian system.

alpha x alpha wolf shifters MM romance
The writing is decent and the story was interesting (good pacing, enough world building depth, high action thriller) but due to poor editing some chapters ended up with cliffhanger which disrupted flow of reading.
The romance was low angst between MCs (minus the whole taboo of alpha-alpha bonding), there was lots of sexual tension, they couldn’t help but come up with excuses to justify every contact and close proximity that was demanded by the bond. They both remained as alpha (none was forced to become omega-like sub) and were equal with consensual dominance power balance.
I both liked and hated Kida a bit: she was kind of their biggest shipper but was also such a massive turn-off, she was always walking on MCs getting hot and ready for sexy action. Once or twice was fine but every time after that was getting annoying. Admittedly, at the end she prepared them a mating bed with some comedic comments so all can be forgiven.
Spice was good but only 2 scenes but they were tender, claiming and sweet.
The novel would have higher rating if not for large parts/lines that were repeated, exact copy paste (twice mating bite scene, twice dual steward charter discussion), clearly this was in error and missed in proofreading. There were few storylines inconsistencies as well.
"You bonded with an alpha. Alpha to alpha. Do you have any idea how rare that is? How dangerous?"
"Hard to concentrate when you smell like that."
"Like what?"
"Like home. Like everything I've ever wanted and can't have."
"I want to claim you properly.
Not hidden.
Not ashamed.
I want the world to know you're mine."
“This was what the bond was meant to be—two halves of a whole, predator and protector, strength doubled by partnership.”
“Mates. Partners. Forever.”
