[Complete] "He follows me around like a predator seeking a moment of weakness before he takes down his prey. But his eyes are soft and tell me a different story." Eighteen-year-old Zara is a born and raised African-American city girl. She's always seen the mountains in the distance, but never once set foot in them--until she wakes up one night in the middle of them with a raging thunderstorm overhead and no memory of how she got there. As if her situation couldn't be more terrifying, she finds a wolf staring back at her in the darkness. Just when she thinks she's about to become his next meal, she discovers that he is not what he seems. Despite her weaknesses and limitations in the wilderness, their journey together becomes a test of trust. But when Zara learns the truth, she's not ready to accept it. --- **You will not find the following werewolf clichés here: alpha's my mate, mate rejected me, abused MC, or super-special-rare white wolf.** An adventure that develops into an interracial romance.

Zara's Wolf is incredible!!!" - Somerlea "Zara's Wolf is an enthralling rollercoaster that not only serves as one of the best werewolf novels on Wattpad, but one of the best books of all time!
