** A Standalone Short Story with No Cliffhanger! **After a fifty year treaty between the inhabitants of Bradenton and Dallin, the Vampire King, the Lycans have enjoyed an easy existence among their human charges.

When two Lycan sentries come across a lone human woman running scared in the woods, they realize that things are not what they’ve seemed to be. Sterling and Conrad must decide whether to save the young woman or leave her to her own devices in the woods. But who is Lizette, and how did Dallin come to have her in his possession? Dallin’s purpose is a mystery to everyone, including Lizette, but one thing is clear – he was saving her for something much more important than his next meal.++ 5 Special Bonus Stories Included! ++READ FREE with KINDLE UNLIMITEDScroll up and click the the orange buy now button to start reading TODAY.WARNING: It contains mature language and content, intended for 18+ readers only!
