Berserker Prologue
"Not now!" Brodolf called to the gods for mercy, though they had never shown him any before. His shoulders continued to hunch, bones cracking, muscles growing and changing. "Kelda!" he roared, his voice contorting with the changing shape of his jaw.Kelda threw her hands over the tortured man, chanting the ancient words that were the only thing standing between her alpha and the curse that threatened to take over his body and his mind. If the alpha was lost, so was the clan."Keep fighting, Alpha!" Kelda, the pack's shaman screamed over the rising wind and the crack of lightning crossing the sky.Brodolf threw his head back and howled, the sound long, loud and dripping with pain. Suddenly, he felt a pop, weak as a soap bubble, but a sign that he had won this round. They had once again beaten back the berserker that lived within him. Slowly, his body righted itself until finally he was left lying on his side, naked and spent, upon the frozen ground. Kelda sat next to him, murmuring non
Berserker Chapter One
Liv - Present day"Fuck it all to hell!" Liv cursed as she grabbed the ticket from the windshield of her state issued Jeep Wrangler. It was the third one this month. What happened to brotherhood of the badge shit? Two little white-headed ladies walking by on the sidewalk gave her the stink eye for her outburst. "Sorry," she mumbled, but she wasn't really. How could a town that had literally one main road have so many fucking parking laws? She felt like she had broken most of them in her first month here and apparently there was no love lost between the game wardens and the traffic cops here. She had thought taking this job as a wildlife biologist in tiny Afton, Wyoming was the perfect way to escape her ex and his new perfectly plastic girlfriend. The one he cheated on her with. The one with the fake ass, fake boobs, fake lips, and who knows what else fake that wasn't in plain sight. And it was an excuse to escape the conditions she had been forced to work in in the Everglades Nation
Berserker Chapter Two
Brodi - present dayBrodi stood on the ridge with Finn, his closest advisor, and surveyed the landscape. He felt he could breathe when up high over his pack lands watching the sun sinking toward the trees in the valley below, the stress of leadership melted away, if only for a few minutes."There, Brand's truck." Finn pointed to the small road at the head of the valley that led into their compound set deep into the National Forest. When they had arrived in the late 1800s, Bridger had been just acres and acres of wilderness. They had slowly purchased as much as they could, working as loggers and opening one of the few sawmills in the back country. When the government had bought up the land to create the National Forest, Brodi had refused to sell, and they had been grandfathered in. Now they were surrounded by government forest. The forest service kept the area pristine, and left them alone for the most part, so Brodi couldn't complain. It gave them plenty of room and privacy to run - t
Berserker Chapter Three
Liv was surprised at how disappointed she had been to not hear back from Asta about getting her hair braided before she had to return to the forest to work, though, in all honesty, there hadn't been that much time. She had to leave the next morning. She didn't often think that much about her appearance, but something about the intricate braiding had called to her. "Oh, well, ponytails have worked up to this point," she murmured to herself, as she finished packing her Jeep for the hour-long trip to her campsite for the next several weeks. "They'll just have to continue doing the job." The young woman and her hulking, tattooed brother had captured her thoughts while she had packed the previous evening. She wasn't sure what it was that seemed to draw her thoughts to them so often. There was something familiar about them that niggled at her brain, yet they were the most unique looking people she had met since her move to Wyoming. Obviously, she would have remembered if she had met them
Berserker Chapter Four
Liv tossed and turned restlessly in her down sleeping bag, her eyes moving rapidly behind her eyelids. She was caught in a dream. A dream about wolves. Wolves with bright, ice blue eyes. Suddenly, the eyes were no longer in a white wolf’s face, but a man’s. A man’s face, all planes and angles; the only thing saving it from being cruel looking was a wide, sensuous mouth. He had some kind of fur thrown over one shoulder and tattoos covered his upper chest and arms. Long blonde hair was braided up in hundreds of tiny braids that were gathered atop his head leaving the sides bare except for more strange but beautiful tattoos. Somehow, she thought she should be able to read them. Were they letters? In the haze of the dream, she couldn't tell. As if feeling her scrutiny, the Viking – yes that's what he was, she could tell now – turned to meet her gaze. His eyes locked onto hers and she forgot how to breathe. Her body thrummed under his scrutiny. Her mind gave her a vague impression of dan
Berserker Chapter Five
Brodi was larger and stronger, but Finn was faster. Especially when he was running in fear for his life. When Brodi finally caught up to him, the smaller man was in his human form, on his knees in front of an ancient Chestnut tree. When he saw Brodi run into the clearing, he lowered his head to the ground in supplication."Forgive me, Alpha," Finn implored. "I beg you! I feared for you. I didn't know what was happening."Brodi walked slowly around his second, growls rumbling deep in his chest as he surveyed him. His stare hard and his eyes gone almost white in his fury. He could see Finn's skin ripple. He was fighting through his fear to stay in this more vulnerable state. Good. He should be afraid. Brodi rounded him one more time with his fangs bared, growled, and then shifted."I'm sorry, Alpha, truly," Finn continued, his voice tremulous. He dared a quick glance up to Brodi's face. Brodi stared down at him menacingly. "You threatened my mate. My mate, Finn. What should the punishm
Berserker Chapter Six
Liv checked the supplies in her day pack for the third time. After last night, she wasn't sure she trusted her own judgment. She wasn't planning on going very far today, not with two large male wolves stalking her campsite. She'd almost convinced herself she had dreamed the whole thing. Surely, she hadn't been snuggling with a giant white wolf with ice blue eyes. She chalked the experience up to too much caffeine, too close to bedtime. She was probably sleepwalking and dreaming. That scenario still didn't make her feel too good, but it was better than believing she had hugged a wolf. Though she was choosing to believe it hadn't been real, she still packed her dart gun and her bear spray in her pack. She was just being smart.By the third day of hiking through the woods, following trails and making notes without any further sightings of her imaginary wolves, she started to relax. This was just like any other assignment. She scribbled in her notebook as she stopped to sit on a rock shel
Berserker Chapter Seven
Brodi breathed a sigh of contentment and watched the forest for any signs of danger. His mate had fallen asleep on his side, her arms still wrapped around him, and his most prevalent instinct was to protect her. He also badly wanted to shift and wrap her in his arms, let his lips explore the luscious curves of her body, and delve into her warm heat. He knew that wasn't an option, though, so he settled for nosing her beautiful hair and absorbed the tantalizing scent that was just hers. As he was enjoying his mate, he heard a slight snap of a twig. His ears twitched at the sound, and he looked to the right just to see his second poke his nose into the clearing. His lips curled up in a silent warning. Though Finn was his closest friend, his wolf wouldn't let him get near his mate in the vulnerable position.Finn lowered his head and spoke carefully in Ruhi."Alpha. I'm so glad to have finally found you. Is everything alright?""As you can see," Brodi grumbled, "Everything is well. You m
