Who could love a monster?

Lena asks herself this question after a freak encounter with a wolf leaves her bitten and transformed. It took no time once the symptoms hit for her to realize she was a danger. A killer.

So, ignoring her shattered heart, she leaves.
 
Leaves Los Angeles. Leaves Ice Hockey.

Leaves him, the one who taught her what it meant to love. Eason.
 
For the next five years, Lena did all she could to forget by starting a new life for herself in a little rural town. But, just as the moon rises, the past finds a way back. Eason, a star ice hockey player and owner of her heart, wants her back. And ushered with him comes an old crime tying them both together.
 
Lena knows she should push him away, it’s the only way to keep him safe.
 
Yet, through the turmoil of it all Lena can’t help but think that maybe ... being a monster isn’t that bad after all.

Howling Hearts Echoed on Ice

The single most important person to me. The one person who could make me plan a romantic trip when romance wasn’t even my thing. 


Yet, here I was, driving through the darkness of rural Alaska, with a sulking ice hockey star slumped in my passenger seat.


That was what falling in love with someone as special as Eason would do to you.


He hadn’t spoken more than ten words since we left LA. His right hand, the one that should be gripping a hockey stick right now, laid useless in a cast on his lap. I could feel the waves of frustration rolling off him, filling the car with a heavy silence.


It was obvious he didn’t care to be here in the little effort he’d put into his outfit - a gray hoodie and jeans. A perfect representation of his mood. Normally Eason always tried to incorporate the team's color - gold, navy blue and white - into his outfit, even though they heavily contrasted with his dirty blonde hair. That’s how much he loved hockey.
