"So, what are you going to do?" Kai asked.
"I'll wait," Kane responded while looking at the sleeping figure on the bed. "I don't want to ruin her life ."

Kane growled and gripped Kai's hand and pulled it away roughly from the window's glass. "Don't."
"C'mon Kane, you've been waiting years for this moment, and you're just going to-"
"Stop talking Kai or I'll take that as a sign of defiance, and I don't feel like having to look for a sixth Beta this month. Are we clear?" Kane growled.
"Yes Alpha," Kai whispered.

*****
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.
