Storm faces seemingly insurmountable odds to keep her dwindling pack
of werewolves alive and together. She fights hunters- including the
brother and father of her deceased lover-and the pack takes another
devastating loss. When they seek sanctuary in a small town near Lake
Tahoe, high in the secluded Sierra Nevada Mountains, Victoria
discovers they are infringing on the territory of a vastly more
powerful Alpha wolf. To save her pack, she uses her feminine wiles to
seduce the Alpha. Nothing comes easily for Victoria. Her plans are
complicated by the Alpha's erratic son, a ghostly wife, and a
vengeful witch. Not even her status as a Valkyrie or the favor of the
Goddess Freya can change the course of destiny for Victoria or her
packmates.

Hunger Moon Excerpt #8
Victoria stared after him. She passed Mick to Sophia. Without hesitation, she ran
after Logan, following him out the front door and into the snowy winter day.
She caught up with Logan in the parking lot. He had his back to her, walking toward
a parked vehicle. Victoria didn’t hesitate; she charged him at top speed. She knew how
fast he could change shape. She would not make the mistake of underestimating him
again.
Logan turned on his heel as she bore down on him. Victoria extended her right arm
high and grabbed hold of her dagger's hilt. Vanadium appeared in her hand. The ribbon-thin
blade glittered with a thousand rays of refracted light, creating a rainbow effect.
"Fuck!" Logan sounded as impressed as he was astonished. He slipped into a
defensive stance but Victoria was already on top of him. She hit his chest with her full
weight. Her momentum propelled him into the side of a cabin, and she pinned him, one
hand pressed against his chest above his heart. She held the tip of her weapon at his
throat.
Wait. A silken whisper filled her mind, startling her into compliance. She did not
know the voice, but it felt familiar nonetheless. It repeated: Wait.
Logan's hands touched her sides and she felt his razor-sharp claws against her
ribcage, the tips positioned to gut her. His threat was implicit: mutually assured destruction.
She did not care. She snarled into his face, showing her teeth. Her eyes glowered;
her power encircled them. "You dare come here threatening my pack. Our young. I should
kill you where you stand."
Wait. Still in her mind, the voice stayed her hand. She felt compelled to obey.
Logan's power rose alongside hers, and his eyes turned to liquid gold, molten
depths to drown in. He stared at her, body held tense. His heart thudded beneath her
hand, a potent and hypnotic rhythm.
Her core heated with her awareness of his superb physique. In that moment,
she wanted to fuck him as much as she wanted to kill him. Victoria's mouth contorted
in a grimace, and she damned her undisciplined hormones for her attraction to such an
inappropriate male.
Logan's expression changed, and his jaw worked. The aggression did not subside;
it altered form. Without warning, he released his hold on her sides and held up hands
already returned to human. "No matter what else I might be guilty of, I don't kill pups. I
picked him up because he was cute. I had no idea you'd assume I wanted to hurt him.
That's all, I swear."
She gnashed teeth. She wanted to rip the heart out of him, but also knew that her
unreasoning anger came from fear. If she could not control it, then it would become her
master.
Glaring, she backed away from him, dagger still drawn. "You murdered blood kin—
your own mother. Killing a cub would mean nothing to you."
Logan blanched and staggered. Her words moved through his heart as effectively
as the blade of her dagger. Unbearable hurt and rage showed in his eyes. "You're a
fucking bitch, Victoria."
"Yes, I am. Now get the hell away from here. Don't come near my pack again. Next
time I will kill you."
With a final hateful glare, he left.
