Excerpt:
"Who are you?"
His voice, thick with a growl, made her shiver with real fear. Elijah Kane was no ordinary man he was Wolvryn, descended from pack leaders and a captain with the L.A. SWAT team. He could rip her to shreds and arrest her.
Eva recognized the sound of a partial shift. His fangs were probably cutting into his bottom lip, sending a rivulet of blood down his chin while black-tipped claws curved into vicious killing implements.
She'd seen what claws like that could do to human flesh. So much blood. He flipped the light, momentarily blinding her and she backed against the wall, stunned by how massive he was.
Impossibly tall, probably about six foot, five inches, a solid two hundred and eighty pounds of pure muscle, with ebony hair that dusted his shoulders and moss green eyes that narrowed with suspicion as he awaited her answer he was both beautiful and terrifying. And nearly naked.
"M-my name is EvaEva Kaylee. I-" She stopped as he abruptly sniffed the air, everything about him tense. He strode to her, coming within inches, crowding her personal space and causing her to shake. "W-what are you doing?" she dared to ask when he wouldn't back away. "Pleaseyou're scaring me."
"What are you?" he asked, ignoring her plea. "I smell humanbut not human." Suddenly his lip curled and he stepped away. "You're a half-breed."
She tried not to feel stung his opinion was nothing new. Most pure Wolvryn scorned her kind. Lifting her chin, she said as coolly as she could muster given the fact that she was scared out of her mind. "Yes. I am half-human. And if I had a choice, I wouldn't be Wolvryn at all. I hate being part freak."
"What pack are you from?"
"I have no pack."
