Protector by Sarah Spade

I never thought I’d have forever…

As an avatar for the Luna, I’m not supposed to fall in love. My sister and I… we never believed we’d have a fated mate of our own. We were born to serve our goddess, a pair of twins descended from the line that began with Romulus and Remus, and while we could enjoy males, they weren’t meant for us.

And then the Luna whispered to Lorelei that she did have a mate: my boyfriend, Cal.

Lorelei’s always been the good twin. So of course she’d rather sacrifice her happiness for mine—but I won’t let her. Leaving my twin and her mate to the other, I head out on my own for the first time ever.

Not sure where to go, I let the Luna guide me… and I’m not so surprised when she leads me to Winter Creek.

With my twin, we spent the last ten years watching over one of the Luna’s chosen: Jolie Bordeaux. Known as Fallon Witt now, she did what she was resurrected to do, breaking a death curse that settled over the supe town. Winter Creek has always been a sanctuary for supernaturals in need, so why shouldn’t I start my life over there?

And then I bumped into the golden-haired Beta with the sad blue eyes, and I got the answer to that one.

Because Tristan Crowder is my fated mate—and he wants nothing to do with me.

At least, that’s what my first impression is. But when an old enemy attacks because of what we are, we’re forced into a situation where Tristan can’t avoid me—and I can’t avoid the side of me I’ve spent so many years trying to hide…
