Primal Law
1
Kalen Black knew he should stay inside tonight––or rather, remain at the Alpha Pack’s top secret compound, the place he
currently called “home.”
A malevolent force moved in the night, something ancient and evil. Its physical presence prickled over the Sorcerer’s skin
like static electricity, raised the hair on the back of his neck. He couldn’t identify what type of being it was, and didn’t know
what it was after.
Yet.
The presence wasn’t human, he knew. But that didn’t mean the entity wasn’t here on behalf of Orson Chappell, CEO of
NewLife Technology, the Pack’s number one enemy. The man was responsible for hideous experiments on humans and shifters
in an attempt to merge their DNA and gene strands in hopes of creating a new breed of super-shifter.
Hell, I’m a Sorcerer with the ability to shift into a rare panther. If Chappell’s somehow heard of me, the asshole
might’ve sent one of his lackeys to snatch my ass.
Or the approaching danger could be from his past, returned to exact due punishment for his mistakes. God knows he’d made
more than his share while scraping to survive. The memory of one awful transgression in particular made his blood run cold,
and he prayed with all his soul that the threat prowling nearby had nothing to do with him directly. Yes, he should stay inside—
except that he didn’t have it in him to hide when his sins may have placed his new friends in the line of fire.
He had no choice. Tonight, he would ignore the internal warning that had saved his ass so many times before. Because he’d
heard that a certain gentle doctor with dark, curly hair and a winsome smile had driven into town to meet with friends, and in
doing so had unknowingly placed herself at risk. Sure, odds were she’d be fine, but it wasn’t a gamble he was willing to
