"Thank you Alpha,” Lumen said politely when Mathew served her.

She sat in her chair, fully dressed, and wore an expression somewhere between well manner lady and starved predator, and a small thread of drool dripped from her bottom lip. Mathew sighed and went to wipe her mouth, she snarled and bit at him, and then immediately affected her best impersonation of a well-mannered lady. The spectators all snickered under their breaths, and Mathew shrugged, “You can take the girl out of the wolf…” Part Three in the Dormant Desires Series. For a comprehensive back story please read Alpha Awakened and Omega Rising. This short story is approximately a five hour read. In this third installment, Lumen is our focus. She is a lycanthropic wolf, shifted to human. Her perceptions are that of a wolf, and her psyche is absent of all human morals or civility. As we follow her development and integration with the rest of the Alpha Pack, we find out more about the ancient curse inflicted upon all shape shifters. With the lifting of the curse follows a multitude of ramifications, including the apparent mated status between Mathew and the now human looking, wolf acting, Lumen. There are comical moments, heartbreaking moments, lots of passionate moments and more in-depth study of Jacob, Allison, Samantha and the rest of the Alpha Pack. Graphic sex scenes are depicted and this title should be read by only a mature audience less
