Excerpt: 

“All these victims are females, more to the point, female wolves…Blackwood Pack wolves. I knew three of them, Wallace even more. They’re part of our family.”

An icy chill chose that moment to ripple up and down her spine. Her arms came up again to cross over her chest. She was closing herself off. Fear had a funny way of forcing your body to react in ways you didn’t want them to. Lily started to speak. Her throat suddenly dry, she cleaned it on a cough and finally spoke, in a whisper, almost like a mouse. “What does this have to do with me?”

“I think deep down you know why, but I’ll spell it out for you. We believe that someone is trying to draw bigger prey out in the open. We don’t know who but we think they’re trying to get to either you or your sister.”

Lily knew this time would come. The rise of her wolf and her place in the pack was coming to the fore. Her sister and father let her do her thing, biding their time and just waiting for something to happen that would spark her dominant gene, pick a mate, and step up to take charge. Peering down at the pictures, she realized that now was the moment she had to step back. A deep part of Lily knew that she was never a human woman. She was wolf. She closed her eyes tight, took a deep breath and let the air out slow. Then, she turned towards Wallace. “What does this mean for me, not just as a Blackwood, as a wolf? Be honest. We both knew at some point this…” She motioned toward her home, referring more to her life. “…was temporary.”

“It’s time for you to grow, to become the wolf both of us know you are capable of becoming, that’s what it means for you Lily. You need more than I can give you, you need a mate.”

Lily rubbed her hands down her face. A mate was inevitable. She’d always known this. She hid from the truth under the misguided impression that she could just avoid it. Why? Maybe the idea of having Wallace. In him, there was a comfort she wasn’t willing to let go of. There was no chance for pregnancy, or longing love.

He would find his mate one day—she knew this. Yet, something inside her rebelled against the idea of a mate because she knew that with the mate, came the responsibility. Her father had always told her she was the one. Her sister Catherine wasn’t meant to be an Alpha. She was. Duty, loyalty, responsibility. She was so fucked. It was time, and it slammed into her with all the subtly of a sledgehammer.

Will I fail?

That’s what this all came down to. She was worried she would make a shitty mate and shitty Alpha. She was too curious, too weak, too—human. She also didn’t like acting like an authoritative twat like the other Alpha females. Her mother had died before she knew what a true woman of power could and should be like. Lily could feel the penetrating gazes of Mike and Wallace as she sat and just stared at the murder scenes. She would be safer with a mate, stronger even. This was a knowledge that her wolf sang over.

About the Author

Bonnie Bliss is the brain child of two authors. Bonnie is a husband and wife duo who have come together to weave stories of passion, action, betrayal, and ultimate surrender. They have discovered that mixing genres is their thing. Their tastes go dark, and they love to twist up sweet stories and make them a bit more tense and sexy. Bonnie writes in multiple genres with plans to dabble into more areas of fiction.

One is a Southern California native, the other was born and raised in Yorkshire, England. The husband spends his time giving the wife alpha males with bite. He is a man that needs to see his world in print. He has a panty melting accent, loves listening to music, watching Game of Thrones, and obsessing over Heisenberg. The wife spends her time writing strong women that evolve into their power, they don’t just come out guns blazing. She claims the song California Girls, by Katy Perry is totally accurate. She’s done everything from waitressing, customer service phone rep., Corporate Real Estate, and spent a pretty impressive part of her life working for the Disney Corporation—before finding her way into the publishing world with her husband.
