But when he targets the pack of Sanctuary Falls, alpha werewolf Caine Morgan is determined to protect them–and he’s not the only one. The Hunter is using Sanctuary Falls in a terrifying cat-and-mouse-game as he zeroes in on the one prey that ever got away: Holly. As Holly struggles to stay one step ahead of the Hunter, it’s up to her and Caine to work together to save herself and his pack…
But with the body count rising with every full moon, this killer won’t stop until Holly cries sanctuary….and runs.
Short
Excerpt:
Ollie
watched the towering man looming in front of her partner, a scowl etched on his
craggy face. His arms were braced over his chest. Aloof. From his military
cropped hair to the taut muscles that made him look bigger, more imposing. Worried. Then again, the Sanctuary Falls
alpha had a damn good reason to be worried. He was missing a wolf, and with
less than a week until the full moon, there was a good chance that whoever the
woman was, she was in a rundown shack in the middle of the woods somewhere
waiting to die.
“You’re a lion. Not a Hound.”
Sawyer
flinched at that, and Ollie shook her head. The woman needed to stop flinching.
Being the first lion-shifter allowed through the Shifter Town Enforcement
Academy, becoming the first non-canine Hound, was one hell of an achievement.
And definitely nothing to be ashamed of.
“I’m both,
sir. Sawyer Reyes.”
Sawyer
shakily held out her badge and Ollie wanted to strangle her. Don’t cower, don’t
shake. Confidence. The woman needed to learn to wear it like a cloak. No. Screw
that. A second skin.
Caine
Morgan curled back his lips in a snarl, the wolf not at all impressed, and
Ollie headed over to intervene. It was Sawyer’s first month out of the academy.
She’d learn, and if the woman was half what Lennox had talked her up to be,
she’d make a damn fine Hound when she found her spine. It took strength and
courage to survive a killer. It was, after all, why their boss had made them
partners.
Ollie
neatly stepped up behind the Sanctuary Falls alpha. “Mr. Morgan?”
He turned,
dark brown eyes almost black as they narrowed on her. His goatee was neatly
trimmed, but black stubble was beginning to win out, giving him a rugged
appearance that went perfectly with that scowl. She could see why Sawyer had flinched.
The man had a glare on him that could have melted steel. Or made any sane,
sensible person cower.
Instead,
Ollie stiffed her spine and met him head on, holding out her hand. “Holly
Lawrence, Shifter Town Enforcement.”
He gave one
long, slow blink and she knew the moment her name went from casual recognition
to something more solid. The Holly
Lawrence. The one who’d survived. She
felt the familiar anger curl in her gut. It hadn’t been like that, but she
didn’t correct him. If anything, it lessened the scowl on his face. Made the
hard edge to him feel a lot less like a knife to the throat. He still didn’t
seem friendly.
“When was
your wolf last seen?”
“Last
night. And you’re damn well aware it’s four days to the full moon.”
She was.
She knew the phases of the moon better than anyone. She’d lived and breathed
this case during the academy and after. Ollie had worked her ass off to get her
brother to transfer her up from the Colorado Enforcement office to here, to
work with Lennox, but more importantly to work in the state the Hunter liked to
call home.
Caine
stepped closer, menacing, but she didn’t back down. One snarling wolf wasn’t
all that much different from the next. She met his gaze calmly. Something in
him eased as her eyes met his, and the fight seemed to drain out of him a
notch.
“Her name
is Claire Rawson,” he said. “She’s twenty-one; she went out drinking last night
with a bunch of buddies to celebrate her birthday. She went to the bathroom
alone and never came back.”
He jerked
his head towards the pair of women standing in the Shifter Town Enforcement
lobby. “I brought them along in case you needed to speak with them personally.”
Caine held
out a picture next. It was of a spunky-looking brunette with a low-cut blouse,
overdone makeup, and a warm smile that said she laughed easily. Ollie had to
fight the burn of tears at the back of her eyes. If she didn’t find the Hunter,
this would be the face of the woman they found dead in five days.
