Rider by Lynn Hagen

Kenny is terrified when a creature breaks into his house. The only thought on his mind is protecting his grandfather, then two men show up and kill the thing. Kenny threatens to call the police, but instead, he’s whisked away to the mountains.

Rider is shocked when he discovers his mate in Howling Cavern, and being attacked by a feeder no less. What stuns him further is the fact Kenny is so accepting of everything. But a rumor going around has the shifters investigating a possible land sale right next to their territory. Jesse and the sheriff are shot at, men are coming into their woods, and what the pack finds out about the rumor goes deeper than they thought.

All Rider wants to do is protect his mate and unborn child, and if starting a war accomplishes that, then he’ll go up against a militia of humans to keep them safe.
