    About this ebook

    As the heir to the alpha position of the Villalobos werewolf clan, Catalina de Villalobos has been fighting the undead for years, but in recent months, the vampires have become bolder and more organized.  When the vampires dare to go on the offensive and attack the Villalobos pack members, Catalina knows that can mean only one thing:  War.

    Catalina is not eager to battle the undead because it will risk the lives of her pack members and for too long, she has longed for peace for her people.  But the vampires daring attacks may not leave her any choice.

    Complicating matters, her father has called for the Gauntlet, an ancient Villalobos rite that will pit prospective shifter suitors against each other in order to win Catalina’s hand in marriage and a place as second-in-command to the very alpha Catalina.

    Catalina wants only one man at her side, but the clan’s human physician is forbidden to her.  Instead, Catalina is faced with the prospect of being mated to one of the clan’s most powerful, but untrustworthy, werewolf.

      Undead Uprising War Approaches - Caridad Pineiro

      Chapter 11

      After Ramon had tended to her, she took the coward's way out and phoned her father to let him know she had returned.

      Are you okay? he asked, paternal concern coloring his voice.

      I'm fine, only . . .  There were three of them tonight.  An elder with two younger undead.  Another newly turned vampire, she advised and eased into Ramon's side, seeking the solace of his arms.

      I had similar reports from others after the hunt.  They encountered at least two groups where the vampires were not alone.  They were new vampires, as if they've increased the pace at which they are turning humans.

      This is so not good.  We need to discuss it with the pack, she said and glanced at Ramon uneasily.

      Ramon slipped his arm around her and cradled her close as her father replied, In the morning.  Rest.  Let your wounds heal.  Although you haven't said it, I know you were hurt.

      I'm fine.  Good night.  She hung up the phone.

      Easing fully into Ramon's embrace, she laid her hand over his chest, needing the reassurance that came from being close to his solid presence.  There's no fooling him.

      It's why he's the leader.  Ramon covered her hand with his and scooted them down in the bed until they were lying side by side, she on her uninjured right side.

      How do you feel?

      Better.  She ran her hand back and forth across the solid muscles of his chest.

      He bent his head and kissed her forehead.  I worry so, he admitted and stroked her back.

      Catalina ran her hands along his bare shoulders and brought herself near, needing the warmth of his body even if that was all that they would share tonight.  I'll be fine.

      Ramon knew she believed that and yet in the past week, she had been injured twice.

      What would happen the next time she went on patrol?  Or the time after that?  How many more times would she be hurt now that the undead seemed to be joining together?

      How will I handle if it is something even worse?

      His stomach knotted at the thought.  At the possibility that she would be gone long before her time should come.  He couldn't let it end between them in this thoroughly unfulfilled way.

      Catalina?  He tipped
