Contest Announcement!!!

Another excerpt from 'Dalara', the first in the lycan series I am working on.  The contest parameters  follow the the excerpt.

Excerpt:
Sage rushed in as soon as he could get out of the car. He had felt Dalara’s fear over an hour ago and couldn't get to her. He knew she was safe and irritated but he was worried still. Council followed him in.
“Dalara?” he shouted just inside the door. He caught her scent coming from the dining room. There she was sitting with Elizabet and and another female as The Warrior stood at the door. He picked her up and held her tight. “Are you all right, my mate?” he asked.
“Fine.”
“Tell us what happened.” Eldest stated.
“I don’t know we were out in the woods.” Dalara said.
“Elizabet?”
“Warrior George was with us. Dalara was the first to catch a scent of two strangers. George was tracking them and sent us here. I assume he alerted The Warrior as well with his call.”
“And who is this?” Sage asked looking at the one female he had never seen.
“Sorry Alpha, I am Mildred Verna Ellis, two hundred eleven years of Alpha Thomas.”
“What are you doing here without my permission?” Sage asked thinking she might have something to do with the others.
“Sage, this is Elizabet’s sister. Council sent her here.”
“Are you sure?”
“Sage she is no harm to your mate. Council did indeed send for her. She is here to help Dalara with paperwork and anything else that is needed. You do not think I would risk my Grandpup’s life now do you?” Eldest asked.
“No, I’m sorry Eldest.”
“It is understandable and I would be worried if you had not reacted the way you have.”
“Sage, I said I was fine.”
“And you know this for sure? You know who is out in the woods?” he snapped.
Dalara knew this was where she had to put a stop to his controlling or it would get out of hand. “Listen here. I am the one that scented them first, I did as I was told and returned home. Now you are not going to control me like this or interrogate me. Do you understand?”
Sage took a step back away from her. No one had ever spoke to him like that. He wanted to smack her but his wolf took control and calmed him down somehow.
“Lucas, join George in the search.” Eldest commanded and before he had finished the order The Warrior was gone.
“Dalara I’m sorry.” Sage looked as if he was a whipped puppy.
“I just don’t want you telling what to do all the time. I have a mind of my own.”
Sage returned to her side taking the chair next to hers. He knew in the beginning it was going to be hard to keep from controlling everything she did. Though this just proved he had been right.

I as am getting close to finishing the first draft, I am starting a contest. The series has no title. I am hoping you, my followers can help. Go through the excerpts previously posted to get the idea of the story lines. Post your suggestions in the comments. If I choose your suggestion you will receive a $10.00US gift card to either Barnes and Noble or Amazon and a few copy of 'Dalara', when published, to expand your reading material.
