Necessary Seduction
Mercy Howe knows what she wants. Caleb. In her bed, in her life. She’s loved the
wereleopard warrior since he rescued her from the fire that killed her family. The fact
that Caleb is warrior-mated to Kerrick, a male former Unfree slave, doesn’t matter.
Mercy wants Kerrick too, and wants to carry on the traditions of her pride, where
females can have several mates.
However, the Orion pride is different. The women are allowed one mate and must
remain celibate until their twenty-second birthday. Mercy is determined to change that,
and a weekend in the city gives her the opportunity she needs. Now all she has to do is
convince Caleb and Kerrick to let her into their hearts and their happy marriage. She
sees her actions as a very necessary seduction.
But someone else is watching Mercy…determined to kill her before she taints the
Orion pride.

Prologue
The girl was sick, an abomination.
The figure in black crept closer to the banks of the river, watching the girl spy on
the men she had followed into the night. The men were doing exactly what they should
be doing. It was the night of their mate-claiming and they were celebrating their
commitment, cementing the promises they had made with passion. They were natural
and pure. It was the girl watching them who sinned, soiling a sacred moment with her
prying eyes.
The shadow couldn’t deny the men were beautiful. The taller blond man, with his
close-cropped hair, knelt between the thighs of his lover, lovingly sliding his lips
around the other man’s thick cock. The stocky warrior dug his fingers into his new
mate’s shoulders, urging him to take his cock deeper and deeper. Their moans and
cries, the noises of two weremen in rut, were unbelievably arousing. But this moment
was not a performance put on for the amusement of a spying pervert. It was sacred,
inviolate. It was—
When the girl slid her hands between her thighs, it was all the figure could do not
to rush from the shadows and strangle her.
How dare she? How dare she taint herself and the women of the pride with her
wretched lust? Women of the pride were to remain pure before mate-claiming. They
were not to engage with members of the opposite sex, they were not to sate their lust
with each other and they were never to risk the fertility of their wombs with busy little
fingers between their legs. The pride doctors urged the complete avoidance of sexual
desire until a woman’s twenty-second birthday. It wasn’t easy, but real women, women
who cared about the Orion Pride’s low birthrate, were willing to do whatever it took to
make certain the pride lived on.
