“Thank you for calling Centerburg Bank and Credit account management. This is Leigh, how may I help you?!” 

For the millionth time since I started this job, I wonder how I got stuck here in my hometown, when all my other high school friends, even my old crush Donovan, managed to go on to do so many more cool things in way better places.

“Hey, Leigh, how was your weekend?” A voice like smoke and velvet flows through the headset that soothes my Lycan ears.

Butterflies and sparks make my cheeks flush.

How is it possible for a Lycan to fall in love with a voice?

Mackenzie thought her life working at the local bank was boring and simple until, suddenly, it wasn’t. 

Can such a simple love survive the return of an old flame, brutal fights with Shifters, and a violent mystery that rocks a small town?

It will be a close call, but for Lycans, you can always press one.

For Lycans, Press One

With my heightened Lycan senses and instincts, I can make out the trail they took through the forest. Cameron and Rivkah keep up with me as I maneuver through the forest as quickly as I can.


‘Faster! Need to Hunt! Need to protect!’ My Lycan instinct blares to life in my mind, but I can’t tear through this forest like a raging bull. If we end up attracting too much attention to ourselves, then we won’t be any good as backup to help Roxy and the others.


A flash of Roxy smiling radiantly in the bathroom of the MMA gym flutters through my mind and I tear off north, the claws on my feet kicking up loose dirt and grass. After miles of running through mud, hurtling over fallen logs, and ducking under sodden pine branches, we pick up a faint spicy scent.


We take extra care with our steps to be as silent as possible as we hear the hum of a generator and see a faint artificial light through the dense trees.
