Bloodling Wolf (3 page)

I glanced around at the waiting people, ready to prove Chase wrong. Any werewolf, no matter how entrenched in his human mind, can find the alpha in the room at a glance—during critical moments, each wolf looks to the alpha for hints of the next step, so all you had to do was watch their eyes. I was sure I'd see dissent in this motley crew, with gazes trained in many different directions. Or perhaps they would have found time to at least groom a proto-alpha during what must have been hours of debate about whether to flee or stay.

But Chase was right, as always. When I glanced around the flashlight-illuminated crowd, every stare came straight back at me. And they weren't all women and children either. Even my favorite uncle was present, meeting my eyes and giving a decisive nod before carefully shifting his gaze a few inches to one side in submission. As unbelievable as it seemed, these normally sane werewolves had chosen a bloodling to be their leader.

It's a good thing I was wolf brained, because a human teenager would have been terrified of the responsibility. What did a fifteen-year-old bloodling know about managing a pack, let alone starting one from whole cloth?

Luckily, a bloodling is nearly all wolf. So when the Greyhound bus pulled to a squealing stop beside us, my wolf knew what to do—I led my new pack into the future.

I hope you enjoyed
Bloodling Wolf
! If so, I'd be eternally grateful if you'd consider writing a review (even of just a sentence or two) on Amazon or Goodreads. Your kind words help strangers decide to take a chance on a new author, and they urge me to keep on writing.

While you're on Amazon, you might enjoy checking out my other novels and short stories.
Shiftless
is set over a decade after the events in this story, and the novel follows another werewolf's journey to find the lupine half that she's squashed. Along the way, Terra realizes that Wolfie may be a bloodling, but he also holds the key to her heart. In addition to being available in ebook and paperback form,
Shiftless
is the first of my books that has an audio version available on Amazon, Audible, and iTunes, so feel free to listen instead of read! The second novel in the Wolf Rampant series,
Pack Princess
, is also available on Amazon (with an audio version in the works).

Non-werewolf books include
Burgling the Dragon
,
a middle-readers sword-and-sorcery novel that will be enjoyed by fans of Harry Potter (especially if you wished that girls got to take the lead in more of the adventures).
Flight of the Billionaire's Sister
is a young-adult short story that stands alone, but that also leads into my billionaire romance novel,
Despite the Gentleman's Riches
, while
Watermelon Summer
is a young-adult novel about a teenager tracing her roots back to the Appalachian farm where she was conceived. Finally,
Lollipops, Garlic, and Basement Salamanders
is a collection of three urban-fantasy short stories.

Flight of the Billionaire's Sister
is also available for free download if you head over to
