PNR w/ a lone ‘ghost wolf’ and a protective alpha
While this could be read as a stand-alone, I recommend it be read in series order for maximum reader satisfaction, as there are reoccurring characters, consecutive timelines and overarching themes.
There are some scenes with potential triggers for sensitive readers. I listed some examples below. In this story, we see familiar protagonists and new issues that may be a part of the series going forward. Here is a little bit about how the story begins:
Rafe is the second in command for the Silverlake pack in Idaho. He has a reputation of being a little irresponsible, unsettled and restless, but those feelings have really grown since his alpha, Jace, met Emma, his fated mated (book #1). Rafe finds himself picking fights more often and unable to really focus, which just increases his feelings of being unnecessary and unneeded by the pack.
Those feelings lead him to go out for a few beers and get into a bar fight. Which leads to his current predicament: Rafe, riding his motorcycle too fast in the rain, on a dirt and gravel road, up and around a mountain side, while being chased by some guys in pickup trucks with rifles. Apparently they were the wrong ones to goad into a fight … now he needs to get far enough ahead of them so he can make the turn into Grizzly’s hidden driveway entrance.
Rafe almost made it, but a sudden appearance of a beautiful white wolf in the road made him swerve. This caused him to go off and over the side. Rafe broke his leg in several places, dislocated his knee, impaled his upper chest on a tree limb, all before he hit his head and was knocked out. The last thing he remembered before losing consciousness was one of the men getting ready to shoot him as he lay helpless at the bottom of the ravine.
Terin has lived by herself since her husband passed about 4 years ago. She was out running when she accidentally caused the man, who she could scent was like her and a wolf shifter, to lose control trying to avoid her. Terin couldn’t leave him like that, she had to help him. The men were shocked when they saw her and mistook her for the ‘ghost wolf’ and scattered when she started to run towards them.
She made her way back to help the man. Terin stabilized him the best she could before she carried him to one of her supply caves not from away. She set his bones, applied a splint, and dressed his head and shoulder after she removed the branch. Right at first she wasn’t sure he would make it, but fortunately he was strong. Terin was able to get him to drink some herbs that she made into a tea that should also help with healing.
At one point the man woke up and touched her. Terin felt something unfamiliar, a longing for more from him. She doesn’t really trust anyone so she feels it would be better if she was gone when he woke up. That way he can’t hurt her when he leaves or is disappointed when he realizes that she is a monster. Those feelings were exacerbated since she couldn’t remember anything before her husband found her, and he thought those things about her before he died. If he felt like that after knowing her for years, how could anyone else think something different?
Rafe woke up hurting all over, but at least he was alive. He remembered his Angel that took care of him and realized she was actually real. She must have lived in the area for some time looking at the supplies gathered in the cave. He got dressed and heard some noise outside. He went outside and saw multiple men outfitted in paramilitary gear with hunting dogs. What they said made every protective instincts he possessed rise within him … They were looking for a white wolf.
