London’s in a deep freeze, but for a certain pack of Dire Wolf shifters, things are about to heat up. Roth, their Alpha, has decided that his men should return to the “Old Ways,” the rituals of their ancestors from days long past, when every female had two male lovers. He’s chosen his closest friend, Laird, as his second. Now the two men need only to find their destined mate, and they know just … know just where to look.
Emma Danforth is a geneticist working at a London university. Solitary, scholarly and shy, she’s not exactly the sort of woman who gets approached regularly by large, hot men in pubs.
And she’s definitely not the kind of woman who finds herself the object of desire of two such men. For the self-proclaimed “nerd in tights,” the word threesome has only ever existed in a dictionary.
But she’s about to uncover a new destiny, one that’s interlaced with magic, danger, and a sensuality like nothing she’s ever known.
The first book in the Dire Wolves of London series is approximately 50,000 words of hot shifters, a very lucky woman, and some very cold winter nights.

Man this series is going to be so good, following in the footsteps of those hot as sin dragons from the Guild. Now that the dragons have found all of the Relics, they decide to add the Dire Wolf, since a few of them have moved to London, to the Guild. They are after all a very strong and powerful wolf and very honorable.
Alpha Roth has always wished to revert to the Dire Wolf old Ritual of Mating and it seems that his wishes come true when he and his second Laird find the woman that will complete their triage.
Emma Danworth is a geeky scientist that only believes in facts, but all that is forgotten when she feels the strong attraction to the 2 hot males at a local pub. She has always been a good girl, shy even, but has no doubt that she wants to jump their bones. It has to be her choice they inform her and she does not hesitate. The only proof she needs of the veracity of their claims is what she feels with them. Science be still.
There are dark days ahead and the Dragon and Dire Wolf will have to join forces.

Oh my! The Dire Wolves are back in London and sexier than ever! I’ve been a fan of Carina Wilder’s work for years and love everything she writes, but when I heard she was bringing her Dire Wolves back to London and doing a sexy spinoff of her Dragon Guild Series, I was beyond thrilled! I fell in love with Wilder’s Dire Wolves in one of her earliest works, Sought By The Alphas, which will always and forever remain one of my all-time favorite series of any genre, so naturally I was excited when I discovered she was not only doing a new series featuring Dire Wolves, but that each book would also feature a triad, meaning steamy menage a trois. Hubba! Hubba! And Wilder didn’t disappoint! Once again Carina Wilder has left me completely breathless and begging for more! The narrative was well crafted, fast-paced, easy to follow, and beautifully written in the third person with clearly discernible multiple perspectives. The dialogue was smart, snappy, sexy titillating, and flowed effortlessly. And please allow me to apologize for the continued use of the word sexy. I find myself wanting to use it in every sentence, probably because everything about this story was sexy, from the location, world, characters, dialogue and story arc. Sexy! Sexy! Sexy! lol… And speaking of the characters, I was instantly smitten with Dire Wolf shifters Roth and Laird, co-alphas of the Trekilling Pack-kinda, and both were just sex on legs. Roth was handsome, mysterious, serious, and sexy whereas Laird was playful, charming, mischievous, and sexy but together, they were more than a handful for one woman. See what I mean? I did it again! lol… I knew it would take one very special lady to handle both Roth and Laird, but beautiful, nerdy, geneticist Emma Danforth was definitely up to the challenge. Emma was usually a shy, reserved geek with not much time for a social life until she first laid eyes on Roth and Laird. These guys made her naughty side want to come out to play. Each of them brought something different to the relationship and complemented each other brilliantly. The interaction between them was captivating, their attraction undeniable, their passion explosive, their love undeniable, and their fate inescapable. And I loved every single second!
Did I like this story? No, I LOVed it! Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am but only for adult readers since it does contain explicit language and dreamy sex, and not just ordinary sex but a steamy menage a trois! *swoon* Roth and Laird both really know how to talk dirty to their Emma! Will I read this author again? Absolutely! I never miss a Carina Wilder release! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! I was glued to my seat, completely captivated, white-knuckling my ereader with my heart fluttering wildly in my chest as the pages flew as quickly as the time. Alpha’s Mate is a longer novella and can be read as a standalone but if you’re anything like me, once you read one of Wilder’s books, you simply can’t stop! Wilder is an extraordinarily talented storyteller and skilled wordslinger who knows how to keep her readers on the edge of their seats, so if you enjoy creative paranormal storylines filled to the brim with perilous danger, heart-seizing drama, pulse-pounding action, daring adventure, spine-tingling suspense, agonizing angst, steamy passion, and sweet romance, then this book is screaming your name! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
The streets of London are no longer safe for humans, and the secret existence of shifters is dangerously close to being exposed. It’s the Dragon Guild’s job to keep the secret and Dire Wolf shifters Roth and Laird, co-alphas of the Trekilling Pack, have moved to London to work with the legendary dragon shifters. But Roth plans to kill two birds with one stone. He also wants to find his and Laird’s mate, and not just any women will do. She must be special, the one who will unite them during The Ritual, giving all three increased senses and powers. And Roth has not only found her, he’s also been covertly following her for weeks, protecting her from the dark forces now roaming the streets of London. Unfortunately, their mate, plucky geneticist Emma Danforth, is human and knows nothing of their world, but time is running out, ultimately forcing the two Dire Wolves to move up their timeline. But will they be able to convince Emma of their connection? Or will they be too late to save the beautiful nerdy scientist? We’ll see!
This was an astounding book. I loved the Alpha Seekers series. Eventhough this book wasn’t as into the ritual of the three joining as that series, I am happy the menage was brought forward. When the two men and one woman are joined they share powers and become stronger. The powers that they each individually have are enhanced.
Emma is a geneticists who is quiet and shy. Alpha Roth and Laird are dire wolves. Roth has been following her for a while to make sure she is the one. He tells Laird about her one night when on patrol. They are supposed to be watching out for grizzly attacks but was watching over her instead.
The night the meet face-to-face is a night of surprises.
I am glad that the dire wolves are getting a series alongside the dragons as they fight to protect the city of London.
