Bad Wolf

I thought I had my future figured out. I was going to finish high school (albeit a year late), join the military, and leave my judgmental family behind. But an unexpected attack on a jogging trail changed everything.

Now, I’m craving raw meat and fighting rages that make it hard to focus. If I can’t figure out what’s wrong with me, I can kiss my future—and any shot at freedom—goodbye. Unfortunately, I can’t figure it out, and I end up back on that trail, out of my mind and seconds from sinking my teeth into a bicyclist.

Enter Jesse van de Beld. He stops me—and he takes me home and shows me there are much scarier things in the world than strict private schools and overly religious parents. He also shows me a kind of discipline I’ve never gotten at school. But his world can’t be real. It’s not the life I want for myself, and I run at the first opportunity. If I keep my head down, I can finish senior year and put the night with Jesse behind me.

But that’s going to be hard to do. Because the bicyclist I attacked was my high school principal—and Jesse van de Beld is taking her place. Like it or not, I’m in his world now. Principals aren’t supposed to teach. But as I soon discover, Jesse has very specific lessons in mind for me…and he won’t stop until I learn them.
