Chapter 1 TEASER

• She went over by the fire and plucked at the piglet I'd just killed. Pulling it apart a bit and putting the rod through it as she made me wait.
• Whining, I laid on the fur. Staring at it hungrily. I licked my chomps every time she walked over to give it a turn. Shifting my paws eagerly.
• I looked at her from beneath my brow. My yellow eyes soulful.
• I want to eat it now.
• But every minute it cooked, it smelled even better.
• I rose when she got the cloths to put over her hands.
• I was dancing behind her as she walked to the table.
• "Just a minute." She said. Pushing me aside as she got there.
• She wiped it with a cool rag. Making it hiss as it instantly cooled.
• She stuck a dagger in it and began cutting pieces off. She divided them between us and when I eagerly licked up my pieces, I closed my eyes to savor the flavor.
• They were Heavenly.
• The best meat I've ever had.
• I decided I liked the meat cooked.
• Her way.
• I was young. And she was teaching me how to eat.
• So, I was eager to learn.
• I took in everything. I was smarter than anyone in my pack had realized.
• Eventually, she was taking me with her. Walking me to the river and back.
• I tried to stay by her side as she indicated she wanted me to.
• But sometimes I got eager and wandered off.
• When I heard her step on a twig or kick a rock, I remembered I left her and rushed back.
• Despite what she'd said, she let me stay.
• I brought home food. She cooked it. And she let me stay.
• Nearly a year had passed, and I was restless. Thinking of that dream. Envisioning her touch on me. Feeling how it aroused me.
• I wanted more.
• I was outside with her one day when I caught the scent of a female wolf.
• Every male instinct in me went wild and I pursued that scent. Finding her licking her paws from eating something she'd just killed.
• I couldn't wait. I climbed over her. Hooking her shoulders with my paws and shifting my hips to try to find relief for my aching parts.
• But in moments, she'd somehow managed to turn within her own skin. Sinking vicious teeth into my paws. Catching my neck and tossing me aside. She bit around my face and neck. Sinking in teeth while I whined and tried to roll away. She bit me repeatedly. Even biting near my tail as I fled her brutal jaws.
• I rushed back to the woman. Bloodied and head lowered in shame.
• "What happened?" She dropped her basket to rush to me. Lifting my head to look at my wounds. "You took off so fast, I thought you'd found some supper!"
• It was that moment while I looked in her pretty blue eyes. That I decided I hated my kind.
• I want to be what she is.
• I want her.
