"No!" Jamie screeched at the dog.
"Let's go," I pulled on his arm but he shook me off. He crouched down opposite the animal, pulling back his lips into a twisted smile, the kind of smile that only reached his mouth. "Jamie?"
The dog struck his paw towards Jamie, and my brother jolted backwards. The animal seemed to laugh. Then he turned his yellow eyes on me.
In that moment his eyes swallowed me, pulling me into the depths of his being.
"I'm sorry," Jamie fell on the ground. "I'm sorry." But he wasn't talking to the dog any more.
A troubled sibling, and too many secrets to count. A story of death, love, lust, destruction and power. Can Alice survive the call of the wolf?
Rough first draft, in for the ride. I should update often.
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
