Seventeen-year-old Morgan Daniel has been in the witness protection program most of her life. But The Panteras have caught up with her and her younger brother. Her car is totaled, she's hurt, and the street gang is closing in when wolves with glowing eyes appear out of nowhere and chase away the killers.
Then a very cute guy who handles a bow like Robin Hood emerges from the woods and takes them to safety at his fortress-like home.
And that's just the first sign that Morgan and her brother have entered a hidden world filled with secrets...
EXCERPT
“Should we stay, or go while the smoke lasts?” The cloth muffled her
voice.
“You
can hardly walk.”
She
couldn’t argue that point. Neither could they wait to be found. “The Panteras
won’t give up until we’re dead.”
“Maybe
they think we are,” he argued under his breath.
“Maybe.”
She
suspected Mateo would demand a body, even a charred one. Make that two. She and
Jimmy didn’t have much choice, though, other than to crouch in dread while the
fire crackled.
“Next
birthday, I want an AK-47.” He nudged her. “Look.”
She
fixed her blurry gaze on what appeared to be a black wolf emerging from the
trees. The creature was larger than she’d thought wolves were, and she’d
understood none remained in these mountains. They were all farther north or
west. Somewhere else.
Apparently,
she was misinformed.
Judging
by its size, she guessed this was a male. He stopped before their hideout. Eyes
the color of red coals surveyed them before he turned and darted down the trail
she’d spotted.
“Holy
cow, Batboy. Did you see that?” she whispered.
Jimmy
didn’t reply. He prodded her again.
She
stared at the big brown and gray wolf that took the black one’s place. Where on
earth had he come from?
The
beast turned its furry head at her and Jimmy. His eyes shone with a luminous light,
like fireflies...
