All of that changes one night when a large, black wolf appears in her backyard and Lia finds herself inexplicably drawn to the creature. Within one cycle of the moon Lia learns that werewolves are not the creatures of myths and fairy tales that she believed them to be. Even more incredibly, she is one, and so is Gran!

Prologue

Selene cracked the door open and sniffed the air before stepping outside. Little Lia came out behind her, one hand holding a tiny basket and the other latched onto the edge of Selene’s long skirt to remind the child that she needed to stay close. Or that was the excuse anyway, in reality it was so Selene could feel that Lia was near and know that she hadn’t wandered off again. Her heart rate sped up just at the memory of those agonizing moments on their last excursion into the yard, when she looked up from the chamomile she was harvesting expecting to see Lia plucking the petals from their centers, only to realize she was nowhere in sight. It had taken only seconds to find her, seated in the mint bed chewing on the foliage, but it had felt like years. The fear that gripped her had been almost unbearable. Selene looked down at the mass of white blond curls and sighed. Her little wolf was far too independent and stubborn for her own good. They padded out through the grass, their bare fe

Chapter One - 12 Years Later in No Wolf's Land

Jake sniffed at the gentle breeze, following the sweet scent that had captured his attention and lured him from the depths of the woods. He knew it wasn’t safe to be this close to cottages in his wolf form, but the scent was undeniable. He had to find the source and he wouldn’t be able to locate it quite as well in his human form. The scent was too soft and there were too many other smells in the air. Humans, furniture, cars...all the strong harsh smells that came with human activity and covered over everything else. Under the harsh chemical smells there were the soft earthy smells and animal scents, which were muted now by the season of rest. December was a time of hibernation and rest for plants, the earth, and many wild creatures. Even though the snow was yet to arrive, nature was resting. He could have followed her through the bush without issues, but here, on the fringes, with all the human smells it was harder. Still easy enough for his wolf nose, not so much for the human one.

Chapter Two - 12 Years Later, Liana's POV

Liana stood perfectly still for a moment, watching the animal in the grass. A huge male wolf. She didn’t know how she knew it was male, but it definitely was. The way the moonlight shimmered on his pitch black fur was absolutely breathtaking. He didn’t seem to be aggressive… a large pet dog maybe? A wolf had been her first thought, but that was impossible. There hadn’t been wolves in Nova Scotia for a few hundred years. This animal didn’t seem to be planning to attack her and certainly wasn’t running away. A low growl rumbled at her through the grass again, making her heart race and she took another step back, stumbling a little. Okay, so maybe he was thinking of attacking. It certainly sounded like a wild animal. She took another step up the trail, slowly backing up the steps to her cabin. She should have listened to Gran. Never go outside at night. But the night air was so crisp and clean smelling! The breeze and moonlight had seemed to be calling her…They’d argued about it again but

Chapter Three - The Winds of Change

Jake slumped down into his leather armchair, running a hand over his face. “COFFEE!” he yelled into the empty room, knowing the omegas in the kitchen below could hear him and would bring it quickly. It was later than he usually wanted his coffee, but they would have been waiting for the call to bring it promptly.Last night had been long and miserable, so he was in a bad mood this morning. Going down to eat with everyone would be a really bad idea. He’d spent hours in that tiny little shed last night waiting for the man with the gun to go back inside. Then he’d waited another hour, until almost dawn, just to be sure he the jerk wasn’t watching from inside.He was still furious with the man for frightening his mate the way he had and then laughing at her.It had taken all of his concentration to keep from charging out of that shed to attack the oaf.“You bellowed, Alpha?” Mark said sauntering into the room, his stride long and confident with a little uplifted movement at the end of each

Chapter Four - The Winds of Change Liana's POV

Liana lay on the hardwood floor by the fire, staring up at the bunches of herbs and flowers that hung from the ceiling. Her calculus book was open beside her but not much of her homework had been finished. She’d been up late but forced herself out of bed early so Gran wouldn’t be suspicious. Her head was aching with the lack of sleep and she was more than a bit distracted but what she’d seen. Nothing could hold her attention for more than a few minutes, certainly not enough to answer these math questions. She could take the few steps to the kitchen and brew a tea to get rid of the headache, but that seemed like too much effort at the moment. It was cold out today and smelled a bit like snow. Would the wolf come back in the snow? That would be dangerous for him, Albert will be on the lookout. His black fur would really stand out if everything else was covered in white. His footprints would be easy to follow too. It would be nice to have snow for New Year's though. There hadn’t been any

Chapter Five - The Unknown

Jake sat in his truck watching the house where his mate lived. The girl appeared to live there alone with an elderly woman. Both smelled like wolves, though there was something different about their scent. It was almost like that of a young one who was on the verge of finding their wolf but had not yet turned. That couldn’t be the reason though, they were both well past the age… or did neither of them know they were werewolves? Could that happen? Wouldn’t they just change anyways during a full moon? Certainly, during a wolf moon, the goddess would have changed them at least that one night of the year.He had almost gone up to the house to introduce himself, but he wasn’t sure what to say if they didn’t know they were werewolves. Before he’d worked that out, the pair had left. That had been about three hours ago. He’d thought about following them, but decided against it and stayed by their house to check out the area and see what he could learn. It seemed safe enough, except for the one

Chapter Six - Telling Tales

Jake gave one nod of agreement. “You’re sure?” Jake raised an eyebrow. Every werewolf knew their destined mate by scent from the day they turned eighteen. It was the moon goddess's highest gift to a werewolf.“Look, I don’t know what happened, Selene never really said and I didn’t ask. It wouldn’t be my story to tell anyways. I will tell you that the older woman was running when we met her, a little over eighteen years ago. She was terrified of someone, still is actually. She has lived her entire adult life scared of this one wolf and his pack, certain that they are looking for her.” David sighed again and ran his hands through his hair making the brown curls stick out at odd angles on his head. “Okay look,” he said at last. “Liana is only seventeen, so she won’t scent a mate for a while yet.” Jake relaxed a bit against his seat. She wasn’t rejecting his scent, she was still a juvenile and not scenting him yet. That was easier to deal with.“How long until she’s of age?” “Not long,” D

Chapter Seven - Mysteries

Lia tried to push the blinds further apart and get a better look at the man in the truck on the side of the road. She couldn’t get a good look at him from this angle though, and Gran wouldn’t let her open the curtains in the main room. She could see enough of the shape to know it was a man, but that was all. She could see Mr. Rogue better. He was standing outside the truck and had been talking to the stranger for a long time. Sometimes he looked pretty shaken by whatever it was the stranger had to say. Her hearing was really good, but they were just far enough away that she couldn’t hear them clearly. Giving up, Liana flopped down on the soft woolen blanket that covered her bed and pulled out the note that Ellie had slipped into her pocket as she headed for the door with Gran. She’d realized right away that she’d have to be alone to read it, otherwise, Ellie would simply have told her or given it to her right out front, not slid a note so quickly and cautiously into her pocket while hu

Chapter Eight - Wolfsbane

Mark wiped his face and stood up from the table, calling out “Black jeep coming in fast!” Everyone in the pack house froze, catching the image from the mind link. Then they jumped up, rushing to the windows to see what was happening or to the door to get to their posts. Jake’s long strides got him to the front steps quickly. He mind linked with Jake, sharing the full image along with the scents that the border patrol had sent to him.“Is it the one you told me about from the buffer zone?” Mark asked, “That Lone Wolf’s ride?” Jake nodded. Most black jeeps would look, smell and sound the same, but somehow he was still certain this was David’s.“Seems like it, but there must be something wrong. Just yesterday David said he didn’t have any use for the bush, now here he is coming fast, apparently all alone.”“They’re Lone wolves, that would make them alone by definition,” Mark scoffed in disgust, his dislike for the idea of lone wolves obvious.“I suppose. But they’ve been there for a deca

Chapter Nine - A Picture or a Thousand Words

It had only taken a few more hours for the two Rogue girls to wake up feeling perfectly fine. They had been able to heal themselves completely, not needing the parental bond to help at all. Mother Luna had said it would be safer for David to wait and see rather than jumping right in, just in case any of them still had traces of the toxin on them. Neither of the girls remembered anything about their poisoning, even after they were told the words that Lia had mumbled as she’d fallen back to sleep. No matter how many times they went over it, nothing seemed to indicate how the women had been poisoned. The Rogue sisters knew what wolfsbane looked and smelt like, as well as how to handle it safely, but neither remembered having seen it that day. It wasn’t one of the things they’d been in the attic to collect.Jake sat in a chair by Liana’s bed, as far away from her as his wolf would allow. He didn’t want her to wake up and be scared by seeing a stranger beside her bed. His wolf had argued th
