Teen years are real life with training wheels… except everyone keeps kicking the wheels. Group chats turn into courtrooms, one joke becomes a screenshot, one bad decision becomes a reputation, and somehow teens are expected to communicate like adults, manage emotions like pros, and “just ignore it” while pressure, rumors, conflict, and online drama run wild. Teen Sense: Uncommon Common Sense for Real Life is a practical, no-fluff guide for teen boys and girls who want more confidence, control, courage, empathy, and communication in the moments that actually matter.

After thousands of years asleep in the ice, Ryeth the Sapphire Dragon is waking, and it's the touch of one man's mind that draws him from his dreams. But Ryeth's body is still trapped, leaving him powerless to address the issue of his brother, the Black Dragon, who has already threatened Simon's pack.

Cain McKiernan had been told his brother, Jonah, was dead, and he’d never believed it. But what else could he do? An unprotected omega kid on the streets was as good as dead...or worse. But even as an adult, Cain hasn’t been able to escape. Until Team A.L.P.H.A. captured him, thinking he worked for the cartel, and one of them tortured him. Until his mate found him. Until his brother saw him.

David Dempsey, the younger omega brother of Team ALPHA’s crazy twin duo, has gone missing after a camping trip with some human friends. He'd only planned to celebrate his upcoming college graduation - but somehow ended up taken captive by a sketchy group after catching them in a criminal act when he wandered too far away from his group. Simon "Boomer" Chiarelli is a laid-back alpha with a love for things of an incendiary nature - but nothing has ever been as explosive as the connection he feels when he catches the scent of his mate.

Tanner Wong was in the wrong place at the right time to help another omega in distress. When the only way to save the man is to knock at the front gates of one of the most powerful mafiosos in the city, Tanner didn’t hesitate. After all, his middle name is Danger. What he didn’t expect to find on his errand of mercy was his heart’s desire: a mate and the family that came with him.

River Erikson is a man on the run. After scenting his true mate, he’s done everything in his power to escape. Just because he was born an omega doesn’t mean he needs to answer fate’s call and drop to his knees for some alpha. Especially not a smug mafioso who thinks way too much of himself. Luckily, his job at STAHP - the vicious vigilante organization that works to police shifters when law enforcement can’t - keeps him busy enough that he can try to forget how his traitorous body reacts whenever a certain muscled Russian is around.

Finn O’Toole is an omega in an alpha’s world. He’s done everything he can to make sure that doesn’t interrupt his ability to get his job done, and it never has. Until him. Antonio Montoya is the notorious leader of the vigilante group STAHP, and stands for everything Finn despises. When the powerful alpha discovers that the Alphabits’ only omega is his mate? It doesn’t matter how far Finn runs...Antonio always gets what he’s after. Thankfully, Antonio has information that the Alphabits need.

Leaf Erikson didn’t mean to get caught up in STAHP’s craziness. If his brother River hadn’t joined them, Leaf never would have been caught in a flood and rescued by the Alphabits. He never would have scented his mate’s scent on the helicopter pilot. Never would have known his true mate was out there. But he does know. And now, he will do anything to find him, no matter what it takes.

Axel Wilson is extremely protective of his former street crew, a bunch of child thieves who are under the care of his mentor, Saul Hagin. But Saul is dead, and Saul’s mate Ira has dollar signs where his heart should be. Not knowing what else to do, Axel makes a call for help, not realizing that his problem is going to land smack dab in front of the Alphabits, and drop him right on top of his true mate’s lap.

Six years ago, Lance Lancaster (no, his parents hadn’t hated him - they were just that snooty) lost the only member of his family who cared about him - his six-year old autistic half-brother, Spencer Maximillian. He’s certain the anti-shifter group protesting outside of Spencer’s school is to blame, but no one has made any progress on the case, and he’s certain everyone has given up. Until Oswald “Ozzy” Ryder and the Alphabits pick up the cold case.

Gizmo Jones has an obsession with technology, and he doesn’t care who knows it. The smarter, more connected, and shinier it is, the better. When Gizmo and Ozzy are sent to the backwoods of West Virginia, the worst Gizmo thinks he’ll face is a couple of rednecks trying to shoot down one of his fleet of drones. He doesn’t expect to run smack dab into a cult masquerading as a summer camp who are determined to separate shifter kids from their animal sides. Caleb Brooks had been one of those kids once.

Pax is the mysterious, faceless hacker the team turns to when their usual sources fail - and he likes to keep it that way. But when one of their information requests ends up with his bunker being raided by the cartel, they’re the only ones to whom he can turn. Zeke Dempsey is raw, rough, and utterly unprepared for the lipstick-clad spitfire who suddenly bursts into his life, claiming both his heart and his dull knife. He always thought finding your true mate made the whole falling in love thing easy - he couldn’t have been more wrong.

Pierce Steele was the Alphabits first recruit, and is team leader Sam’s right hand man. This whole investigating thing is fairly new for a man used to being a pilot, but he’s always loved pups. When he and the awkward bear shifter Cyrus are sent to investigate a lead on a missing child case down in the armpit of Florida, he expected it to be easy. Interview a few people. Grab the kid, take him home to his parents. Case closed. He did not expect the fiery omega Adrian Shultz to stand in his way. He certainly didn’t expect the daycare worker to be his fated mate.

How many days and opportunities will pass you by (missed out and wasted) in the rest of your life because your sabotaging negative thoughts hold you back from being truly happy and fulfilled? Whether you’re dealing with shyness (which is a form of social anxiety), low self-esteem, or depression, it’s important for you to know that you are not alone and there is help for you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a form of psychotherapy, a proven and effective method that professionals use to help people modify their limiting and irrational thoughts and behaviors.

Tony Peterson has seen friend after friend find their mate, including his brother, but he’s pretty much given up on it happening for him, especially since he’s not a typical alpha. It’s okay though, he has his son Dexter and a great job helping shifter kids heal and navigate the system. What more could he want? Joey Novak had to fight his way through a lot of prejudice to be seen as equal to all his alpha brothers, and he doesn’t regret a minute of it. Living on the wrong side of the law means you have to make your own, anyway.
