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

My nose didn’t deceive me. This really is a human town. A small one, granted, but there still might be clothes around here somewhere, and once I have those, I should be able to find out where I am.


I search the town’s perimeter for a sign that might tell me its name. I don’t find one. What I do find is an older man with a beer belly and a long, ill-kept beard. He’s sitting on his patio, smoking when he spots me. Straight away, he rushes into his house. At first, it seems like he’s running into his house to get away from me, but less than a minute later, he emerges with a shotgun.


By the time I realize what he’s doing, he’s already fired. Several shotgun pellets imbed into my flesh. I run. He fires again, and more of them burrow into me. I yelp. Just because they’re not made of silver doesn’t mean they don’t f*cking hurt!
