after almost dying from silver poisoning his first thought on waking was her safety. He deserved so much more than she could offer him.
Katherine smiled weakly at him and stroked his face. She loved him so much, he was a part of her heart and would always be her first love, but he wasn’t her soul mate. She’d walk away from him because she knew it was a lie to stay.
“I’m fine. How do you feel?” She brushed her fingers lightly over the pale pink skin that was forming over what had just been a deadly wound.
Maxwell flexed his arm and grimaced. “It’s still a bit tender but it’s nothing compared to what it was.” His pale blue eyes darkened as he remembered the agony.
She pressed a kiss to his forehead, then covered his eyelids, nose, and mouth with her soft lips. “Remember us,” she whispered. “Don’t think about the bad.” She grasped his hand and squeezed tight.
A fleeting smile graced his beautiful mouth and lifted her heart. He would be alright. He was stronger than she’d ever thought. Everyone would be in awe of him now, of how he’d fought a hunter and survived a silver poisoning.
Maybe he’d survive her leaving after all.
Katherine leaned forward and wrapped her arms around him, burying her face in his neck. He was her first love, the man she should have connected with on a soul deep level. It wasn’t enough though, their love. It wasn’t enough to keep her here, frozen in time, unable to move on and evolve like the rest of the world.
She needed to leave home and travel the world. If Alpha law dictated that she wasn’t eligible to rule, then she would find her place and purpose out there, without her parents to pick up the pieces if she made a mistake.
Not yet though , she thought. She’d leave, but not right now. Right now she wanted nothing more than to curl up on Maxwell’s lap, breath in his familiar scent, and surround herself with family and friends.
Whatever and whoever was out there would just have to wait.

Like Katherine? This is just the beginning of her story and a tiny glimpse into what made her the woman and wolf she is. Her story continues in Book I of The Guardians trilogy, Blood of Eden , available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iBooks, and Smashwords. Here’s a little taste…
When Katherine LaFlamme is summoned home by her father, the Alpha of the North American wolf pack, she drops everything and answers the call. Despite her desire to experience the human world before she settles down, Katherine is fiercely loyal and, as her parent’s first born and the pack’s best tracker, she’s an essential part of the family.
There’s trouble at home; a hunter has invaded their territory and murdered several of their kind and a rogue wolf has been stalking the female members of the LaFlamme family. To make matters worse, a secondary claim to the Alphaship of North America has risen, setting the entire pack on edge.
Then Katherine meets a mysterious wolf named Quinn and things begin to get interesting… and very deadly. Katherine and Quinn are swept up in a puzzle of ancient rites, prophecies, and mythic lore which reveals that there’s more to both Quinn and Katherine than first meets the eye.
