Wolf Awakened
Avery Song - 2020
At night, I'm
Willow De Luca,
cage fighter champion with a slight temper problem.Regardless of which role I’m playing, I’m plagued by the inability to shift, a condition that has Papa Dearest deeming me a ‘mistake.’ All the same, it’s worth enduring my double life if it means staying out of my father's business and ignoring the growing legacy that's waiting for me to claim.Unfortunately, no matter how rich and powerful you are, the universe isn't going to grant you everything you want. In Father's case, it was having a son. In mine? Finding a mate. Without an inner wolf of my own, meeting a wolf shifter who’s connected to me is essentially impossible. It’s a forbidden dream I'd all but given up on.Then my carefully balanced life is disrupted by the arrival of a new pack that intends to make me the target of a power play to take the De Luca territory. However, one glimpse of Dimitris, Neo, Saint, and Jayce is all it takes —
I want to make them mine.
I’m willing to bet everything on a dangerous gamble, because maybe being a wealthy boy by day and lethal girl at night is the double-play I need to earn the grand prize.
