Throne to the Wolves


J.A. Cipriano - 2016
    Mage. Nerd. Gamer Extraordinaire.And yes, I wrote that on my nametag. I was having a great day right up until Justin Bailey, werewolf prince and Grade A Pain-In-My-Ass came barreling into the shop I work at. Then he threw around words like "blood feud," "sorceress," and "murderer," so I couldn't just kick him out, especially since they all seemed connected to me.Now the only thing I can do to clear my name is use my magic to help him find the culprit before the council of wolves takes matters into their own hands. If they do, they won't just kill me, they'll put the kibosh on anyone who's ever talked to me.I guess Uncle Ben was right about that whole responsibility thing.
