Mate

Mate by Ali Hazelwood Pre-Order October 7th 2025

From New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood comes Mate—the fierce, romantic, and action-packed companion to her hit paranormal debut Bride. Set in a world of fragile alliances and primal instincts, Mate explores fate, desire, and the fight for belonging through the eyes of a powerful hybrid heroine and the ruthless Alpha sworn to protect her.

Serena Paris is the first Human-Were hybrid, a living symbol of unity—or so she was meant to be. Instead of peace, her existence ignites political chaos between Vampyres, Weres, and Humans. Orphaned and hunted, Serena is pack-less and vulnerable, her life hanging in the balance as rival factions seek to use or destroy her. With nowhere left to run, she turns to the one wolf who might keep her alive: Koen Alexander, Alpha of the Northwest pack.

Koen is feared, respected, and utterly unyielding. Declaring Serena his mate is a vow of protection—one no enemy dares challenge. But Serena doesn’t trust fate or the possessive pull of their bond. She wants control over her life, not to be claimed by another. Still, with danger stalking her at every turn and a deadly past threatening to unravel everything, Koen may be her only chance at survival.

Mate is a sizzling paranormal romance filled with sharp teeth, steamy tension, political intrigue, and a slow-burn connection that refuses to be denied. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Nalini Singh, and readers obsessed with possessive Alphas, hybrid heroines, and high-stakes supernatural drama
