Matt’s mom taught him to fear the town of Springwater. It may have been where Matt was born, but it was a violent, dangerous place. It had already taken Matt’s father, and if any of its residents learned Matt had been born there, they would want to kill him.

 One Friday night, Matt meets a tall, attractive stranger at a bar. Things seem to be going well until he learns that this mysterious stranger is from Springwater. This would ordinarily be enough to keep him away from him. However, soon afterward, a gruesome murder will embroil them in a life-or-death mystery which will force Matt to question everything he thought he knew about who he can trust and who he even is.

“I lean forward, burying myself more in him. In the smell of Mate. Not just of a person, of sweat and skin and breath and blood, but of destiny. Of a moon that calls to me and tells me I am his and he is mine.”

The Springstorm Alpha

Nick brings me back to his apartment, and, after some goodbyes, leaves me alone. Just when I was starting to get to like him, I have to be without him for twelve hours. Damn those Bloodfangs; working him like a slave.


At least they give him a lunch break. He said he’ll come home for that and bring home something to eat.


Once he leaves, I shower and change clothes. After that, I lie on his bed, and look at my phone. I do some searching. Part of me expects to find things accessible here that wouldn’t be in the outside world, like an inside out version of the fact that you can’t access most of the internet from China. There’s nothing like that, though. Even inside Springwater, there’s nothing online that would tip a human off about the true nature of the world they live in.
