Hope explodes in my chest when I see the black lines crawling up my arms.
But then a massive gray wolf is in my face, fangs bared, a terrifying growl pouring from between his canines.
It happens so fast I can’t do anything to stop it. Teeth sink into my arm, clamping down viciously as they pierce me. Something in my soul—in the core of who I am—shatters.
I scream at the loss, and fire ignites under my skin as something new, something unwelcome fills the void in my chest.
“There you are,” Dillon boasts in my head, his voice slimy, wrong…unwanted. “Now you’re ours, just like you always should have been.”
Agony swells in my veins.
Pain tortures me with its touch.
Anguish mocks my loss.
And then everything goes black.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Ivy is one badass mofo who somehow tolerates Ann’s weird jokes. Ann is brilliance personified who graciously doesn’t judge Ivy’s bossiness or overall disarray. With a friendaversary that goes back to pre-publishing days, these bitches like to write dark and sexy stuff and laugh with each other over their horrible, eye-gougingly bad stick figure drawings as they try to map out scenes.
This is their first book together but they both have a shit-ton of other books for you to check out.
