Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
Madi, fresh from Princeton with offers from Harvard and Yale, should be thrilled—but she’s burned out and bitter about privilege. When her brother loses his scholarship, she vows to pay his tuition herself. The only way? A high-paying Wall Street job. With her rebellious best friend cheering her on, Madi sets out to infiltrate the world she despises.
“I’m Googling.” Ruby lunges for a phone. He doesn’t stop to take off my snowy clothes, just carries me down the hall into the great room where twin fires burn. The entire crowd follows us. “Maybe put her in a warm bath,” someone suggests. Blackthroat veers off, back toward my bedroom. “No, not a bath.”…
“I suspect whenever we make an appearance.” I stand and get dressed. Madison dons a blue dress that belongs to Ruby. “No.” I shake my head, surveying her. “I want the window.” She puts her hands on her hips. I’m more relieved than I care to admit when I see traces of amusement around her…
Blackthroat saves me from answering. “Don’t make her perform, she just came back from the almost-dead.” “Right, right. Sorry, Madi.” Eagle holds up a hand to forestall any more conversation. I twist to look up over my shoulder. “Eagle knows my name.” “I know your name, too, Windows, I just choose not to call you…
My pack brothers grip my shoulders to pull me off. “Or maybe she is,” Nickel cuts in, voice raised. That verbal acknowledgement-the truth I haven’t even been willing to fully admit to myself-calms my wolf. “Maybe she is,” Nickel repeats when he sees his words had an effect. I slowly release Billy’s throat. “But you…
Dammit! I try to climb, but for every step I take, I slide right back down. Oh, fuckity, fuck, fuck. Okay, stay calm. I will just have to hike out. I will follow it in the same direction the footprints were heading, and maybe if I get lucky, I will find them again when I…
My new temporary office is quiet. The only sound is my typing. The phone blares, making me jump in my seat. I grab it, hoping it’s Brick. It’s not. It’s Billy, ordering me to send over a report. “ASAP. Mr. Blackthroat’s orders.” He sounds smug. Does he know what’s going on? I bite back my…
I need a reason to confront him. And my opportunity comes at five pm on the last day of work before Thanksgiving break. I take a call from the assistant of the lawyer who’s handling the land deal for the Blackthroat Family Foundation. Emergency paperwork, he explains. We need Brick Blackthroat’s signature ASAP. “My boss…
The dogs race out, barking, followed by Dane, his bushy gray brows slanting down like a grizzled guard dog, himself. “Expecting someone?” “No. But that’s my chopper.” I put August down. “Run inside, bud. Uncle Brick needs to figure out why his pilot flew back in the middle of a snow storm.” And then I…
Vance takes the hint and leaves me to my misery. I stare out at the whirling snow, and something in me cracks. I can’t do it anymore-live this divided life. Living in a human world with pressures from every side. Leading the pack. Running the business. Fighting the Adalwulfs. Knowing what to do about my…
“You think Benson Senior is torn?” I outline her thinking. “He wants to get on with his golden years but also doesn’t want to leave his friends behind?” She angles her body in my direction. “If you were to sell Moon Co., would you take a deal that might cut out your CFO and COO?”…
