In Memory of A.C. Katt

Divine Promotions was sad to hear of the passing of Mary Lynn Hansel aka A.C. Katt. As both a friend and a wonderful author, she will be sadly missed. We decided we wanted to do one last tribute to her memory so we are doing this tour to honor her and the stories she wrote.

His Omega – Werewolves of Manhattan, #1

Sean Quinn’s friend Leroy was gutted trying to protect him. He runs for help and stops the first car he sees.

Armand LaMarche is head Alpha of the North American werewolf council and was in his limousine on his way home to his Manhattan brownstone. When the wounded boy stops his car, Armand recognizes two things—the boy is part wolf, an Omega with a great gift, and he’s Armand’s mate. Now all Armand has to do is claim his mate and keep him safe from the murderer.

 

Excerpt

“Werewolves? We’re talking about werewolves. You can’t be serious.” Sean made to move away but Armand adjusted Sean’s body so that his mate landed fully on his lap, Sean’s head resting on Armand’s chest. Armand felt his cock fill with his mate so close, but he didn’t try to move or nor hide his arousal. Sean stayed put. Armand rejoiced at this small victory.

“Loup-garou if I remember my French, means wolf-human,” Sean said, sitting up, skepticism written all over his face. Armand let him move away. He could see Sean’s arousal through his thin jeans.

“Yes, werewolves, but the loup-garou are different from the werewolves of legend. The loup-garou do not have to change form at the full moon. They can change form at will. The only change they can’t control is the first which come at midnight the day of their twenty-fifth birthday.”

Sean moved a little further away.

“Please let me hold you while I tell you this story. It costs you nothing and it comforts me to have you near.” Armand slid his right arm under Sean’s back and again brought him closer to his chest. Sean’s scent got stronger. It was intoxicating. He continued while attempting to calm his inner wolf who cried, Mine—Now!

“The people also retain their full human selves while in wolf form. Their wolf is an integral part of who they are. Its needs are never separate from the human side of their nature. The wolves of the loup-garou are another part of their human selves and don’t project different thoughts onto a host. A host does not exist, the wolf and the host are one. The human feels as the beast feels, although emotions are generally crystallized as their wolf surfaces when they find their mate.” Armand stopped to see what Sean would say.

“No throat ripping, as in the movies or becoming a wolf from the bite of another? No humans for breakfast.” Sean seemed to bury his nerves in humor.

Armand looked at his mate’s eyes to see if he understood he was serious. “Their condition is not caused by a virus, or a bite from one of their kind, they are born as loup-garou or they are not. One truth of the legends is that a loup-garou have only one mate. A loup-garou can spend his whole life looking for his mate.” Armand noted.

“Because of the state of the Inquisition in France, the loup-garou migrated in mass to Canada after 1541 seeing the New World as a place where they could live in peace. The population grew again after their losses in France and they made their way across the St. Lawrence River into New York and gradually throughout North America, moving west as the population on the East Coast grew. But the loup-garou population grew slowly because a wolf must find his mate to be fertile and procreate. Until that time, he is shooting blanks so to speak.”

“How horrible for them, going through life having no one to love,” Sean unconsciously wiggled closer to Armand.

If he does that one more time, I’m going to lose control. I’m already on the edge having finally found him. Given a few more minutes and I would have taken him in the shower. I couldn’t even speak without revealing my lust.

“The loup-garou are very different from humans in some respects. The loup-garou make no distinctions between gay and straight. Your mate is your mate whatever the gender. Once a gay loup-garou becomes fertile, a female of the species is usually honored to bear the pups of a same-sex mated couple. A mated male will contribute sperm to impregnate a female. Of course this process became much easier with the research and the practice of artificial insemination.”

“What has any of this to do with me?” Sean turned his face to Armand. The light began to dawn in his eyes. Sean started to move away again.

“Wait, baby, you said you feel safe with me, and that you liked my scent?” Sean looked away from Armand, embarrassed at his perception.

Sean didn’t want to hear what came next.

“I am loup-garou and you are my mate.”
