Description:
George Owens is comfortable with
his life just the way it is. A wolf- and fox-shifter, George leads a reclusive
lifestyle with his energetic and diva-ish mate Billy, a fox- and
squirrel-shifter.
George has no desire to take over
leadership of the pack, despite his father’s wishes. Edward Owens is feeling
his age and wants to make sure the pack is in good hands should he not be able
to win his next challenge. However, George is adamant that he wants no part of
it.
But events rock George from his
complacency, and he realizes he has to take a stand and fight for what he cares
about. If he remains in the past and cannot change in order to do what he must,
he risks losing everything he loves.
Excerpt
from Chapter Two (George is in his wolf-form):
Even though he
didn’t expect an answer, George called, Billy!
He all but
jumped out of his skin when something landed on his back. He let out a
surprised bark and craned his head to see if a branch had fallen on him. He
couldn’t find anything but caught a glimpse of something moving, accompanied by
a featherlight motion on his back.
Relief flooded
him when the movement ended between his ears, and two tiny paws grabbed the
tips.
Hello there!
Billy chirped.
Sheesh! You
scared me to death! George growled.
Sorry! I was so
surprised! See, I knew it would come in handy that my second form is a
squirrel. I shifted during my fall and stopped rolling down farther.
Unfortunately, I was covered in snow and decided to rescue myself on a tree to
avoid more snow gluing to me.
You knew that?
If I recall correctly, you whined for a whole week after you found out your
second form is a squirrel, George replied.
Billy climbed
down George’s head, turned around, and sat down slightly above George’s nose.
Well, I wanted to be something cool too, and since the second form is often a
larger animal, I was quite disappointed at first.
George’s eyes
crossed as he tried to focus on the little red-furred squirrel. Billy, you know
I hate it when you sit there.
Billy giggled
but remained where he was. I love it when you get that odd look.
Either get up or
get down, George grumbled.
The grumble held
no heat, though. He was too happy that Billy wasn’t injured. His heart still
pounded too fast in his chest, but he was sure it would take up normal activity
soon.
Billy hastily
climbed up and settled between his ears, his tiny paws again clutching them.
Whee! Bring us home, my beloved!
