Shifter by Rebecca Zanetti
Stope Pack series #3. Paranormal wolf shifter romance. Can be read as a stand-alone but better as part of the series. First published in Kindle Vella.
Luna McElhanney is a scientist and wants to be left alone to do her work. But since she is the only one with alpha blood in her veins in the pack, it’s likely she will have to be the alpha’s mate and leader. She will try to throw a couple of her friends to the wolf first, in case any of them might catch his eye.
Erik Volk is an alpha working as an enforcer for his brother. Getting an invitation to the Silver Pack wasn’t part of his plan. The Pack is attacked while Erik is there and he finds out they were poisoned the prior year. He needs to protect Luna and if that means he becomes the Silver Pack Alpha leader, that’s what he’ll do.
Together Erik and Luna need to build the strength and numbers of the pack while fighting off a takeover from outside and loyalty within. It’s a lot, but Erik is up for the task. As long as he gets Luna as part of the deal.

This book is lighter and more humorous than the prior two mostly because of Luna, but also the overall characters are a bit more rounded, and while on task, not as singularly focused. They make time for building and fun and strengthening the community. As well as some gymnastics in the bedroom. And living room. And kitchen.
There is a lot of chemistry and lust between Erik and Luna that practically jumps off the page. It’s hot and steamy!

Luna has a big heart but she’s a bit klutzy.

I’ve never really cared for Erik (the hero from the prior two books) but this book puts him in a different light. Seth and Erik, brothers, together are dorks.
“You’re stupid.”
“No, you’re stupid.”

A wolf shifter alpha and mate romance you won’t want to put down until you know if he can save their future. ( )
