Lifting Tail for the Alpha

By Jenika Snow

Being a bobcat shifter in a pack full of wolves, and gay on top of that, made Xavier feel as though he doesn't belong. To make matters worse he wants the future alpha of the pack, Arsen. But Arsen is arranged to marry a female wolf. Xav didn't think Arsen was gay, but that all changes when they find each other alone, and realize they are mates.

Arsen is next in line to lead his pack, and is supposed to be mated to a female, but only desires Xav, the bobcat shifter that keeps to himself. One night at a party feral cravings ignite in both of them. Arsen realizes Xavier is his, and will not let anyone or anything stand in his way of claiming him. But not everyone is happy with the future alpha being mated to a bobcat, or a male at that.

Chapter One

The music was loud, but it felt good to have the beats flowing through Xavier’s body, vibrated everything inside of him until he felt loose and relaxed. He threw back the rest of his beer and followed a group of people into the kitchen. These parties were common with the younger members of his pack, and because he wasn’t a wolf shifter, but of the bobcat variety, there were times he felt out of place. But he supposed many children who were adopted felt somewhat out of place, whether they were shifter or human. He also didn’t miss the way a few of the more ignorant wolves in the pack looked at him, as if he were some disgusting creature because he was a feline, despite the fact he had been a member of their pack his entire life.

He pushed past a few guys talking about all the human pussy they got last weekend when they went into town, and Xav curled his lip. At twenty-five he was still a virgin, but that was by choice, and he wasn’t ashamed of that fact. There had been plenty of females who had offered themselves to him, but that wasn’t what he was into. Of course he never revealed he was gay, because although most, but definitely not all, of his pack treated him as if he were one of them, he didn’t know how kindly they would take to his sexual orientation.

Xav, come do a shot with me! Annalisa, a tiny wolf shifter with a dirty mouth gestured him over. They had grown up together, but where he was more reserved and stuck to himself, she was a wild child, even making him do things that were out of his comfort zone, but that he was glad he had done in the end. She was only ninety pounds soaking wet, and when he stood next to her, with his six-foot-two height, and two-hundred pounds of muscle under his skin, he felt like just breathing on her would break her in two. Come here, it’s shot time, or two, or hell, let’s not put a number on a good time. She shoved a shot glass in his chest, the overly filled glass and her rough actions causing the liquid to spill over the side. Drink up, cupcake.

I thought females were supposed to be all gentle and shit. He teased her, but Anna wasn’t the type of wolf that liked being called anything that sounded feminine.

She glared at him and punched him in the arm. It felt like a bug bite for how much force was behind it, but then again her fist was half the size of his. He loved her like a sister, and because
