Out of the Ashes (Asheville Arcana #1)

Fate works in mysterious—and dangerous—ways.

Alpha werewolf Eli Hammond returns from a fishing trip to discover five members of his pack have been murdered and the rest are missing. He needs help and he needs it fast. His one hope lies with the supernatural council in Asheville, North Carolina, but they turn their backs on him.

Except for Arden Gilmarin.

Eli is stunned—and not especially thrilled—to discover half-elf Arden is his destined mate. But as Arden and his friends, Whimsy and Julian, help with his quest to find his pack, Eli surrenders to the demands of his wolf—and his heart. They'll need to bond together, because the evil that stole Eli’s pack now has its sights set on Arden. If Eli wants to save his mate and his pack, he's in for the fight of his life.
