When Quinn, the Supreme Alpha of all the Nine Territories first sees a young man in the arena, he is struck by his beauty and by the fact that despite his chains, he’s barely contained. Quinn recognizes him almost at once as the human who led an assassination attempt on him just weeks before, yet when he tries to take him into custody, he’s shocked to find the human is his fated mate. He has only one option to keep the council from executing the young man for his crimes—to make an example of Aaron, and to debase and degrade him as his love slave so that none of Aaron's followers will celebrate him as a martyr or a hero. Aaron is on a quest to find his brother, separated from him during the plague that devastated the population, killing seventy percent of all the humans on the planet. When he gets word that his brother is among the rebels, he joins them too, hoping to find him. Instead he gets caught up in a failed assassination attempt on the Supreme Alpha, a strong, powerful wolf shifter who now has Aaron right where he wants him--at his mercy. Despite his growing attraction to Aaron, Quinn has to try to keep his heart from getting too involved, and when another assassination plot is uncovered, Quinn has to make a difficult decision. He must put Aaron aside despite his feelings for him and imprison him, even though the mating bond between them means Aaron will suffer and die without Quinn. And when Aaron disappears and word gets back to Quinn that he’s dying, he has to take a leap of faith to bring him home and back to Quinn's bed where he belongs.

Property of the Alpha is the first book in the Supremacy of Wolves series by Victoria Sue.

Quinn is the Supreme Alpha of all of the Nine Territories that make up North America.  When he spots a young man in the arena, who led an attempt to kill him.  While he had a plan for how he was going to treat Aaron, it all goes up in smoke when he finds out the man is him mate.

Aaron has joined a rebel group to find his brother who disappeared years ago.  He will do anything to find him.  While he was looking and trying to show them he belonged in the group, he tries to stay away from violence if he can.  While he is implicated as the leader who tried to kill Quinn, he was set up.

The connection between Aaron and Quinn is intense.  Both Quinn and Aaron don’t trust each other and don’t attempt in the beginning to get to know each other.  Quinn is set on a path to make Aaron miserable and show him that he is in charge.

I found this book well written with a unique plot. The main characters and the secondary characters were enthralling.  While the ending was a little predictable, there are so many twists and turns that keep the reader hooked. I had a hard time putting this book down. Overall, this was a very captivating book and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
