Leslie

Reba may be the proud, commanding Alpha of the Red Mountain werewolf pack, but Leslie? Well, technically she’s an Alpha too—but if you ask her, titles are overrated. Leslie has better things to do than strut around growling about territory lines and dominance squabbles. For starters, she’s too busy making money hand over paw by scamming humans in the best way possible: romance novels. Not just any romance novels—Omegaverse novels. You know the kind. Those ridiculous paperbacks that humans clutch like guilty pleasures, full of moon-mates, scent-marking, and shirtless “Alpha Kings” growling about “claiming what’s theirs.” Leslie eats that nonsense for breakfast. Under the gloriously trashy pen name LaDonna Dawn, she cranks out book after book stuffed with every tired trope in the genre—fated mates, surprise pregnancies, Alpha-on-Alpha power struggles. If it makes her laugh, it goes in. The joke? She’ll be the first to tell you it’s garbage. Absolute, Grade-A trash. But humans can’t stop buying it. They devour every melodramatic chapter, and Leslie just keeps cashing the checks. Every cent funnels straight into the Red Mountain pack account. Her royalties alone have paid for the pack’s new den expansion, top-of-the-line hunting gear, and a coffee machine so fancy it growls when it steams milk. Her bestsellers include such masterpieces as Howl Harder, Alpha, Omega in the Streets, Mate in the Sheets, and the unforgettable holiday special Mistletoe, Moonlight, and Marking You Mine. To the outside world, Leslie is a reclusive romance queen. To the pack, she’s the one who keeps the lights on. And if humans want to keep thinking omegas are just trembling little cinnamon rolls waiting to be “claimed”? Fine by her. Leslie will happily sell them that fantasy—for $6.99 a pop, paperback or Kindle.
