    Until the night she's attacked by a vicious animal, and rescued by a shapeshifting vampire that she almost seems to recognize: the baritone growl, the mesmerizing eyes, the inexplicable animal attraction. That's because her savior is Caleb, and now he has no choice but to bring Allie into the shadows with him[ to protect her from a rival werewolf pack, and to finally reveal his true feelings for the woman he's been afraid to love.

Possibly the same 'someone' who's playing mind games with Bree, trying to scare her.
