The wolves of Hood Mountain, Book 1 : HUNTER - PART 2, When the wolf is away
When the Cat's Away, the Mice Will Play.
Except in my case, the "cat" is a wolf... and the "mouse" is me.
Bianca Ashford, just your average human.
But as for playing? Yeah, not happening. I'm not in the mood for fun.
My return to California is a total disaster. It's like my karma tanked the second I crossed paths with those damn werewolves-one catastrophe after another, no break in sight.
The people I love keep walking out of my life, and my world turns into a twisted grab bag of surprises. Spoiler alert: they all suck.
Betrayals, shocking truths, attempted murder-take your pick.
But the real kicker? My "forced vacation" in Oregon left me with way more than just trauma.
And meanwhile, back in the neighboring state, an entire pack is probably hunting me down. Because while I'm doing everything I can to put this nightmare behind me, they sure as hell aren't forgetting me-or the bond that ties us together.
For Hunter, their bossy Alpha, I'm not just some random human. I mean a whole lot more. And he has no intention of letting me vanish.
With his blood brothers at his side, he's ready to do whatever it takes to track me down and, more importantly, protect what's his. Their instincts are sharper than ever, but their patience is running out fast.
The wolves are closing in, my secrets are piling up, and I'm fresh out of escape routes.
When my situation spirals out of control, I'm faced with an impossible choice.
Can I make it out of this, or will the endless curveballs finally take me down?
And more importantly... how long can I keep running?
One thing's for sure: this game is far from over.
