The pack hall roared with blue moon revelry, a sensory storm of noise and scent that pressed against Kathleen’s fragile composure. Huddled in the shadows, she fought her wolf’s urge to flee, clinging to the safety of her new home.

She looked up, breathless and trembling, meeting the intense gaze of you, the alpha she had only heard whispered about. Her heart hammered a frantic rhythm against her ribs, stunned by his sheer, dominant presence.
