Orphaned in the forest as an infant, Kai grows up the only
human among a pack of werewolves. When the pack learns that Marcellus, a
renegade Skinwalker with an insatiable thirst for carnage and an unreasoning
hatred for humans, has returned to finish what he started with the murder of Kai’s
parents, for both Kai’s safety and that of the pack it is decided that Adair,
the aloof and amiable werecat, will lead Kai to the safety of the human
settlement nearby. With danger closing in and the attraction between them
growing can either survive with their lives and hearts intact?
Teaser Excerpt:
Kai was more confused
than ever. “What? Why? I don’t even know anyone named Marcellus.”
“It doesn’t matter if
you know him or not. You’re human.
That’s enough. I’m sorry you got the wrong idea about us. If you calm down and
think rationally, you’ll realize that the best place for you in the human
village. They can protect you. You’ll be happy.”
Kai shook his head and
looked up at Adair. How was he supposed to calm down? His entire life was
crumbling around him. “I’ll die there.” It was true. Kai wouldn’t know anyone.
He had no idea what it meant to be human. In the pack, in the forest, he was
free. The village would be a prison.
“If you stay in the
forest you will die. The pack won’t
protect you. Even I can’t protect
you. In all probability Marcellus is the one responsible for the deaths of your
birth parents.”
How dare Adair bring his
natural parents into this? He knew how much Kai thought about them, how much he
missed them sometimes. Just when Kai thought Adair couldn’t sink any lower.
“I hate you!” Kai
screamed in helpless anger and pain. He saw Adair blanch before he turned and
took off running as fast as he could, tears blurring his vision and hurt
tearing his heart to shreds.

Adair stood there
stunned as Kai ran away. He had never seen Kai look the way he had.
Heartbroken, devastated. The fact that he had put that expression on Kai’s face
left him gasping. He wanted to go after him, knew that he should, but he
couldn’t seem to get his feet to move.
I hate you! The words
echoed in his ears, slicing into him like a blade. He just wanted to keep Kai
safe from Marcellus. He should have also kept Kai safe from himself as well.
He should have realized
what Kai thought was happening between them when he used the words ‘mate me’.
Kai had been raised with pack values and would see their coupling as a sacred
rite, not as an act of mutual pleasure as Adair did. He was a damn fool. He
knew better, yet gave in to his baser instincts and desires to have Kai just
one time. He let his judgment be clouded and now all hell had broken loose.
“Kai!” He called heading
off after the human. It felt awkward to walk on two legs. “Kai! Come back
here!”
Worry clawed at him. Kai
was alone. Marcellus was somewhere in the forest. Marcellus who hated all
humans and was hunting Kai. Adair had to find him. He stopped and sniffed the
air, trying to pick up Kai’s unique human scent, but Kai had just bathed and
his scent wasn’t discernible. Kai could have run in any direction. With no hint
of scent, Adair had no clue which way to go. Any way could be the wrong way
taking him farther away from Kai and bringing Kai closer to Marcellus.
