Resisting The Heat

In my pack, I was never just Samantha Wilde. I was the red-haired mutt. The girl who couldn't shift. The one with wolf blood in a coyote pack. No one let me forget it. So I learned to survive the only way I could: I kept my head down, hid my secrets, and stayed away from wolves.
Especially him.
Jason Kenneally.
The wolf who taught me exactly how dangerous wanting someone could be.
For years, I told myself I was over him. Over everything he'd made me feel.
Then young shifter women start disappearing, and when one of my friends goes missing, Jason comes back into my life with answers my pack doesn't have. Only now, he isn't the boy I once trusted. He's the new wolf Alpha, and getting to the truth means working with him.
What we uncover leads us to a demon that feeds on desire and leaves no trail behind. And I might be the only bait that can draw it out.
But hunting a demon is not my only problem. As we search for my missing friend, I start uncovering secrets about my family, my blood, and why I was never able to shift.

This is a slow-burn paranormal romance, so the intimacy develops later and naturally with the characters.

Content warning: This story contains mature themes, strong language, bullying, emotional abuse, violence, abduction, alcohol use, and sexual content.

Quick note: The changes in italic formatting throughout the story are intentional and will make sense as the story progresses :)

English isn't my first language, so I'm both excited and terrified to share my writing. If you enjoy Sam's story, comments mean a lot because they help me know what's working and what to improve.

Thank you for reading.
