WOLFBANE SERIES BOOK 2 ***It is highly recommended you read book 1, Wolfbane, before starting this one for context and to avoid spoilers.*** Even as a part of me hesitated, something scratching deep within me, tugging me back to that wonderful-smelling man, I ran. I knew I had to run. *TALIA* For twenty years, I don't know a life outside of the brothel where I was raised; living as a human and hiding as a werewolf in plain sight. Upon finally saving enough money to restart our lives, I find my mother dead, killed in cold blood, her heart ripped out, murdered by one of her clients. Unable to rest until he's dead, I sneak into the murderer's house to avenge my mother's death, only to discover I am mated to his son. I realize the situation before me and, without a second thought, shift into my wolf and jump out of the window, running into the dark night. *ALEX* Well, that's an interesting way to meet my mate, to say the least. It almost isn't surprising—I'm one of those people who attract drama and crazy situations and it's never a dull day in my life. There are hundreds of normal ways to meet a mate and I’m the one that meets mine at my father’s murder scene, my mate being the number one and only suspect. If it weren’t so disturbing, I’d laugh about it. The Moon Goddess clearly has a sick sense of humor. And now—now I must track down this beautiful, mysterious woman with distinct blue eyes that killed my father. *Content Warning: This is a romance with dark themes including explicit adult content, graphic violence, offensive language, and other content some may find offensive.
