It was after her trip to
Paris that things started to get "weird" for her. Her life will never be the same upon meeting Alpha Grayson, who "kidnaps" her and helps uncover the truth about the werewolf realm and her own self.Author Introduction | Annie WhippleAnnie Whipple, the author of "Kidnapped by My Mate," is a prolific writer known for books such as "His Lost
Queen" (the sequel to the novel under review) and "The Alpha's Doe."Theme: Mate? What Is That?Belle embarks on a less-than-memorable trip in search of her own happiness and stability.Up to that point, she was wholly unaware of the existence of paranormal beings like shifters. Nevertheless, life-changing events can take place in the most
unforeseen circumstances. In Belle's situation, she would have never guessed she would encounter her "mate" on an airplane, much less of the werewolf kind.Readers will also be invited to explore the dialectic between what Freud calls the id and the super-ego. In this novel, Belle instinctively feels an urge she fails to grasp fully and gets intimidated
by it. She does everything in her power to keep this urge at bay, moved primarily by societal pressure and general disdain towards anything mildly associated with werewolves.That last statement reveals the importance of ridding ourselves of prejudices if we want to find true love and happiness in our current milieu.Characters: The Kidnapper and
the KidnappedThe protagonists in this novel are actually mentioned in its "alternative" title: Beautiful Belle and Alpha Grayson.BelleBelle is far from being a happy woman. She has the looks but lacks the "luck," so to speak. She's tired of feeling alone and abandoned, so she goes to Paris to reunite with her negligent mother. At that point, it was her
only option out of solitude, but "fate" had other plans for her.Alpha GraysonGrayson is the stereotypical Alpha wolf. Being the leader of the pack, he's prone to show some muscle time and again. Likewise, feeding into the stereotype, he can be quite aggressive, possessive, and overprotective, especially if the person in "need of protection" is his "fated
mate." Point of View: Let the Mates Speak"Kidnapped by My Mate" is told from the standpoint of the characters (Belle especially). We only see events through their eyes, so the scope is naturally more limited.Plot in Kidnapped by My MateBelle was about to take an 11-hour flight to Paris. She had received an invitation from her mother and new
father-in-law to spend Christmas there in the hopes of "mending the fence" somewhat, an invitation she accepted, albeit reluctantly. She still resented the fact that her mother had not so much as called her for a good five years, but she reckoned her mother was the only person who could keep her company during the season.She was assigned a seat
next to a perverted guy who would not stop staring at her boobs. Extremely disgusted by this sight, she tried to divert the old man's attention by thoroughly searching her luggage compartment when, out of the blue, she felt a pair of strange hands reaching for her waist. The MarkingBelle figured at first that those hands belonged to the same guy who
was ogling at her just a moment ago, but, to her surprise, they were Alpha Grayson's. She turned around, only to be met by some of the most captivating eyes she had ever seen. Belle was suddenly overcome with awe as Grayson began kissing her neck, and she readily gave in to this "young man's" sexual advances. At the same time, she felt extremely
taken aback by the Alpha's odd behavior. Within this short span, the man proclaimed Belle as his "mate," said their "bond" was very strong, and insisted that he would not allow her to reject him.For a brief moment, a tinge of reason came to Belle's mind, and she displayed outrage at the words that this young man was uttering so boldly. However, this
moment of lucidity was over the second the plane went into turbulence. Her fear of dying prompted her to swiftly seek Grayson's protection. He held her tight and told her that everything would be fine. This comforted Belle to such an extent that she'd "fall asleep."Next thing, she wakes up in Grayson's lap. As it turns out, she was not exactly
"sleeping," and she instinctively knew that something had transpired between her and Grayson during this entire episode that would change her life forever.
Belle had been marked by a being she originally thought didn't exist, and before she knew it, she was held hostage in the Alpha's residence. Surprisingly, Belle likened this place to a sanctuary of sorts, a refuge from the mystery that awaited her outside.Plot Twists AheadBelle's love for Grayson would grow stronger with each passing day, and she'd
learn some surprising truths about him that we chose not to disclose for the purposes of this no-spoiler review.

I couldn’t seem to calm myself down, even though I tried.I absolutely hated flying.And an eleven-hour flight to Paris was the last thing I wanted to be doing the day before Christmas Eve. But my mother had begged me to
come spend the holidays with her and her husband.I knew that she’d only invited me out of guilt.I hadn’t seen my mother in over five years, and she’d seemed to have no problem leaving me behind after my dad had gotten sick. It had only taken her one year to get remarried and one more to have a kid. She’d completely cut off my dad and me, acting
as if we’d never existed.So the fact that she was inviting me to come see her now really pissed me off.But I had no one else. Paris was my only option if I didn’t want to spend Christmas alone.Getting through security was easier than I’d thought it would be, and I found my gate with little trouble. But even with all this good luck, I still couldn’t help but
feel uneasy.I had only flown once in my life, for my grandmother’s funeral in Florida. And now, the second time would be for my mother’s wedding in Paris to a man I had never met before—a man who was not my father.So, not only was flying absolutely terrifying, but the only experience I had of it was delivering me into an unwanted situation. I knew
this flight wouldn’t be any different.I waited to board for about half an hour. I wanted to be early just to make sure I wouldn’t miss the flight.

I did not want to have to pay for another one.Once on the airplane, I couldn’t keep my hands from shaking. A flight attendant smiled at me as I walked past her, and, noticing my nervousness, she gave me a reassuring nod.I tried my best to return the smile.When I finally made it to my seat, far in the back of the plane, I looked at the man who I would
sit beside for the next eleven hours. His gaze moved up and down my body, stopping at my chest for a while before meeting my eyes.He smirked. “Well, hello there.”Great. Just perfect.I get to spend the next eleven hours being ogled by a creep.“Hi,” I muttered.Ignoring Mr. Creeper, I picked up my carry-on and lifted it above me to put it in the
overhead compartment. Noticing that the asshole—who was now watching me struggle—had put his suitcase in the middle of the compartment, I huffed, trying to move it with one hand as I struggled to shove mine in next to it.I had almost managed to fit my luggage in when I felt hands wrap around my waist, touching the bare skin of my stomach
where my shirt had ridden up.Thinking it was Mr. Creeper, I tried to jump away, but stopped as the hands tightened around me and sparks ran down my frame. I jerked my head around to see who was attached to the hands, and felt my eyes widen as I took him in.He was breathtaking… Large to the point that he almost looked comical in our tiny
plane.His muscles strained against his black shirt and blue jeans, telling me he must’ve spent quite a lot of time in the gym.
He had chocolate-brown hair, mesmerizing dark-green eyes, and a jaw that could’ve cut through paper.His lips were luscious and full, and I unconsciously leaned in, imagining how it would feel to press my lips against them.A sudden deep growl snapped me back into an upright position, and my eyes met his to find that he was watching me check him
out. My cheeks immediately turned red, but before I could feel too embarrassed, he spoke.“Mine. Mate,” he said, his deep, husky voice ringing in my ears. He squeezed my waist gently as his forehead came down to meet mine, and he breathed in deeply.I probably should have slapped him, but instead I let my eyes close and basked in the feeling of his
arms around me as delicious sparks coursed through my body. I didn’t even know that it was possible to feel this good.I felt his head move from mine as he bent to nuzzle my neck. I tilted my head to give him better access, and he let out an approving grunt.And then I felt him place a gentle kiss right where my neck and shoulder met. First my knees
went weak, then my entire body went numb as a breathy sigh exited my mouth.
He smiled against my neck, chuckling and taking all of my weight into his arms as I leaned completely into him to stop myself from falling.I was in absolute heaven.
