      Chapter 1

      MY NAME IS LOGAN AND I’m an alpha, a werewolf to be precise.

      I lie in bed tossing and turning, sweat rolling down my face as I had that same nightmare once again. The memory seemed to haunt my dreams, that horrific nightmare of my entire pack being slain in cold blood while on a camping trip. I remembered it like it was yesterday; in fact, I remembered it so often, so vividly that it was completely destroying my life.

      First, there was nothing, just the gentle sounds of the forest: birds chirping, leaves rustling in the autumn breeze, and children giggling, splashing, and playing by the pond.

      The afternoon was like any other, a day bathed in sunlight and illuminated by glowing patches of blues and greens here and there. A perpetual blur of warm, familiar faces and peals of laughter brought life to the place as the forty or so people who had become the very world to me prepared the fire for dinner.

      That dinner was why I was sent away in the first place or, more specifically, because of the fire. The night before, some of the other teenagers and I were roughhousing, horsing around a little too close to the angry flames. The huge stack of kindling the elders had gathered tumbled inside and went up in smoke before any of us could stop it. The others scattered to the wind the second the stack went down, but I froze in place.

      I couldn’t just run like them, as much as I wanted to, because the man who peeled himself way from the other adults and started walking slowly toward me was more than just the leader of the pack. That man, the one with the furious scowl on his face, making a beeline in my direction and paralyzing me with that cold stare, was my father.

      Logan? he questioned, his voice stern, though still harboring a note of amusement buried beneath the harshness. Would you care to explain what’s going on?

      I gulped and looked down at the fire that was roaring away, crackling with delight as the burst of new fuel fed the flames and sent them stretching up to the trees. I was... I paused, my mind racing in panic. I was just trying to add some more wood when the whole thing slipped inside. I’m sorry, I added half-heartedly, as if my lie had even the slightest chance of passing his scrutinizing ears.

      My father lifted his eyebrows in disbelief, and suddenly, his amusement was far more pronounced, almost sarcastic. It was as visible as the guilty shifting of weight I tried so hard to hide. Really, son? That’s the story you’re going with?

      I sighed and lowered my voice, then cast a quick glance over my shoulder. Look, it was an accident, okay? Me and some of the... I mean, I was just goofing around and knocked the pile over. I’m sorry. I’ll replace it tomorrow.

      He chuckled, deep and low, before glancing over my shoulder as well. It may have been my imagination, but I could have sworn I heard half a dozen pairs of feet scrambling back into the woods.

      You protect your friends, he said softly, looking me up and down, with a strangely fond, proud smirk on his face. That’s a good thing, Logan, but they are only one small part of this pack. To protect one of us is to protect all of us. We mustn’t ever draw lines from within. That only leads to infighting or...worse. His dark eyes searched mine as his face tightened thoughtfully. Do you understand?

      I nodded quickly, standing as straight and tall as I could. Yes, sir.

      These lessons were given to me more than they were given to the others, but I cherished them. One day, my father’s job and responsibility would be mine, and I had to live up to some pretty great expectations.

      He looked at me for a second more before nodding briskly. Good...and yes, you will gather another pile before dinner tomorrow night. When a high-pitched cackling echoed behind him, he grimaced in pain. In the meantime, I must now listen to Mrs. Catterly’s story about her tone-deaf niece.

      Haven’t you heard that story before?

      Only nine times, he said, shaking his head.

      I grinned and watched as he headed slowly back to the others, flinching every time the old woman’s voice soared above a certain decibel. I knew that would be me someday, but I really couldn’t wait. But in the meantime...

      Logan!

      I turned around and saw five pairs of bright eyes gazing back at me from the dark.

      Dude, is he, like...really pissed? asked Isaac, my best friend.

      I shrugged and pasted a cocky grin on my face, then returned to the others. We continued our fun without a care in the world, each moment as blindingly utopic as the next. What we didn’t realize at the time was that fate had a cynical side, a way of taking all that away from us in a heartbeat.

      It was that unfortunate convergence of events that carried me out to the woods the next day. To gather the kindling, I had to wander through the trees, picking up random bits. I tilted my head up to the setting sun and listened to the sounds of the woods.

      My father had taken me out there often, ever since I was a boy. He always encouraged me to close my eyes and let my other senses range out around me, picking up on everything. I heard the birds, the wind, the distant brook. I even heard the gentle, muffled footsteps of a lone fox padding the forest floor a half-mile away. Then I heard a sound I had never heard before out there. Screams?

      The kindling dropped from my arms in what felt like slow motion, before I even made a conscious decision to let it go. For a split second, I just froze. I couldn’t move even if I wanted to; it was as if I had simply forgotten how.

      Then, again without conscious thought, I looked down and saw my legs running, my feet pounding the ground faster than I had ever run in my life, as fast as my father. The trees streaked by, blurring into a single wall of green, until I came to a sudden stop. I looked around in horror and confusion at the place where our camp was supposed to be. What the...? I muttered, shocked beyond belief.

      All I could do was gaze around in utter heartbreak, taking in the sight of the smoldering remains of what had been my life. The burning cabins and scorched grass were littered with the mangled bodies of my kin, my friends, all torn up beyond recognition, massacred and bloody. The few who weren’t yet casualties were doing their best to fight, but it was doing little good, and it was clear that they were about to join our fallen comrades. It all happened so fast, and some just stood there, as stunned as I was. Five old women were piled up beneath a picnic bench with an ongoing game of poker on top; I doubted they’d even had time to look up from their cards.

      Almost worse and more unsettling than the carnage was the fact that I had no idea who the enemy was. Who—or what—the fuck are they fighting?

      One of them blurred past me, and I stumbled instinctively away. The thing laughed, emitting a cruel high-pitched sound, before returning to its
