"I'm not fucking gay!" Hunter growls out, his fists collide with a poor locker as pack members look with shock.
I'm frozen in place as Hunter lashes out, my heart beats fast as his cold black eyes set on me. He bares his canines and it breaks my trance, i hold up my arms in front of me in a stop motion as I step back slowly.
"Hey, whoah whoah whoah, buddy." I start, moving back faster as he walks closer to me.
"You." He growls out angrily. He lunges at me, his claws barely missing my throat, pack members gasp, whispering in horror and shock. Everybody thought he was ok with gay people, but apparently not. He tries one again but slips and lands on the ground hard.
I take my opportunity to run away as he lays on the floor, I run into the boys bathroom and go into one of the stalls, fumbling with the door till it's locked tight.
I try to calm down as my heart slams against my rib cage, I try to gasp for air but nothing happens.

Life isn't always fair to some people, ask Ethan Rees for example. He's stuck with a asshole mate better known as Hunter Adams.
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.
