There I was, surrounded by dark black figures. Honestly this is why I stayed around people, always getting myself into stupid situations like this, a whimper erupted from my throat "w-what are you?" I said as loud as I could, which wasn't very loud.
"Why don't you pick on a dog your own size?" A huskier voice called from behind me, I didn't want to turn around so I just unsteadily stared down at my paws, I thought about how after this I was never leaving my house again, well not alone at least. "Well? Get going!" The voice said a bit more frustrated, but the figures did leave, and not in a walking fashion but in a 'well I'm not ready to die so I'm actually gonna listen' kind of way.
Ok wait wait wait you don't even know my name yet! Well let me start from the beginning because you have A LOT to learn my friends....
Well hi, I'm Samantha- a curious little, wait you people believe in werewolves right?! Well your about to because I am NOT explaining this whole thing over again. Anyways back to the story, I'm Samantha a rather curious werewolf, my birthday is in two days and I have yet to find my mate, I'm always pestered by my younger siblings and parents about it their always saying 'maybe if you went out more often' or 'dear you will never find him if you don't go outside' and that's why I live in my own house now.
BEWARE I DO BITE
Anyways I'm going to let you figure the rest out on your own because I'm to lazy to tell you the rest of my life! Goodbye to all the octopuses round here....
(I may call you octopuses from now on...weird but interesting name)
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.
