Eva has two problems; Her wolf and her lover are both avoiding her. New werewolf Eva has two problems. One, her wolf seems reluctant to make an appearance and two, Alex, her lover and alpha of the Kingwood pack, is avoiding her. Has she failed at being a wolf before she'd even begun? He bit her to save her life, so why won't he even look at her now? If she's not a wolf, she can't be his... Biting Eva to save her life was a mistake Alex can't regret, but pack law states he has to let her go if her wolf doesn't manifest. So far, Eva's wolf seems non-existent, a fact more than one member of the pack has noticed. He has to distance himself from her, send her away, but he can't. Add in a deal he doesn't want to make with the local vampires, and Alex is ready to cut loose and deal with some issues with his claws and teeth... But pack law rules absolute and a challenge is issued that could destroy their future before it begins...
