Camilo Carter is The Doctor of East Hadena, one of the deadliest serial killers the city has ever seen. He's excellent at what he does, with no signs of getting caught any time soon. He thinks he has it all figured out, sees himself as almost bulletproof. He's never slipped up, never come remotely close. Camilo is untouchable. That is, until the really hot lead investigator of his case moves in across the hall. ~ "Perfect," he tells me, tone low. My heart practically stops beating in my chest. "I meant you're perfect." Decari doesn't know. He has no idea how untrue that is, how far off. He doesn't know, and he can't know. He can't ever fucking find out! He just can't, and I'm terrified that if I let this continue any longer... I'll get too comfortable. Too secure. I can never allow myself to doubt his loyalty to the law. If I'm to give in, I need to promise myself that. I take a step forward, and we're so close like this that I can feel the heat of his body. I finally move my gaze up to his eyes, which look a lot darker like this. He is entirely focused on me, and I don't think he even realizes he does it, but his hand drops from my face and finds its way to my hip a moment later. The world seems to disappear as I look into his eyes, deciding to warn him one last time. "You'll change your mind."

Hydra's secret wasn't a weapon. It was her. Codenamed Hellhound, she was the final survivor of Project Wolves-Hydra's most classified experiment. Designed to be the perfect obedient soldier, she was more than they realized: a wolf-shifter with a mind of her own, forced to hide her humanity beneath fur and fangs. When the Avengers raid a Hydra base, they expect to destroy another enemy asset. Instead, they find a creature who shouldn't exist-one that the Winter Soldier once trained, and one that remembers him far more than he remembers her. But Hellhound has secrets even Hydra never uncovered. She's not just an experiment. She's not just a wolf. And as the Avengers debate whether to trust her, she walks a razor's edge-between proving she's not a threat and revealing just how dangerous she truly is.
