Victoria

PUBLISHED
Victoria Amsel is the myth that lives inside of every horror story that mothers tell their children to scare them into obedience.

Dominic was one of those children, growing up on horror stories of a vicious monster, a wicked mutation of werewolf, vampire, and witch. As a child these stories terrified Dominic but now as the Alpha of the strongest pack in the Americas, he sees past the children's stories, realizing how irrational they were. And now he's developed his own horror stories, the merciless Alpha that lusts for blood. Ceasing to believe in or fear the childish legends he focuses on ruling his kingdom, until one day the myth turns up in his territory.
