When one of the pride is captured and experimented on they can only think of one punishment for the outsiders. Alison Biggs finds herself caught up in a battle for dominance as the entire pack pick her for their gang revenge. Her work as a receptionist for the shadowy complex had always been innocent until the alpha leader of the pride stages a daring rescue of the kit Samuel. Taken to their den and held responsible for the injustice, Alison immediately finds herself at the mercy of the powerful beasts and their inhuman passion for revenge. EXCERPT Alison saw a back door to one of the buildings in the alley and grabbed at it, twisting the knob and letting out a sob when it didn't budge. She looked for another door that was close by but didn't see any. Far down the alley she saw what could only be the back side of a restaurant with a large trash bin next to a pile of boxes. It was far but there was at least a door and there might be people inside. She was going to have to make a break for it. As she started to run the door next the garbage bin opened and a man in a stain covered apron came out, kicking the door wide with his foot because he was carrying several bags of trash in his hands. "Help me!" she screamed. She ran towards the man, crossing the alley and sprinting towards him. He turned to face her, his mouth open as he tried to understand why he was being yelled at. A dark shape dropped down over the man and Alison skidded to a stop. As he let out a yell the man was thrown to the ground and the bags of garbage spilled into the alley. The creature leaped on him and the back of his head was slammed into the cement with the weight. Alison saw the creature rise up to its haunches, sitting over the cook who was now knocked senseless. The creature was vaguely human, a muscular male who’s features blended from feline to man. Lean and naked except for a short layer of fur he looked at Alison, his pointed ears turning to take in every sound around him. Alison saw that a thick tail sliding from side to side behind him. He leaped from the cook and bounded directly to Alison, the moonlight flashing on its extended claws, reaching for her. Shrieking she turned to flee and immediately tumbled to the hard ground. She tried to regain her feet when a second creature dropped down directly in front of her. He was similar to the first but even larger, a lion-like mane of hair framing his face. His eyes focused on hers and she was shocked to see the slit pupils of a cat that seemed so out of place on the lean, half man body. His paw like hands gripped her shoulders and he slowly pulled her closer to him until she was face to face with it. She could hear him letting out a low growl and saw the lips pull back to reveal a row of pointed, sharp teeth. It was too much for Alison, she fainted in his arms like a rag doll, held up only by the monster's grip on her. He tossed her over his shoulder and leaped up to catch a window ledge before jumping again to a higher one. Alison's limp body dangled over his shoulder, swinging as he pulled himself to the rooftop. The first creature she had seen quickly joined him and they set a path back to the den. less

She quickly finds herself torn between the Alpha male and his second whose fight for dominance has her as the prize. Driven out of their protected den the Pride is now being hunted by the powerful Sebastian Gold, a man determined to discover their secrets at any cost. Alison is brought along as they flee to find a new home, and perhaps find out that what they really want is with them already. Excerpt She knew that they had regrets about what had done to her in their fury for revenge, a violation of her body to match what had been done to Samuel. She still had the scratches from where the claws had scraped her skin in their passion for her. She didn't have the lightning fast metabolism the men did and it would be a few more days until she was fully healed. Once Samuel had regained enough of his senses from the drugs they had sedated him with he had told the Pride that Alison had no involvement with what had happened to him. She had just been a piece of decoration for the company she worked for, a pretty face to sit in the lobby to make them seem like every other business in the location to the causal eye. When all Hell had broken loose and Gerald and William had raided the complex to save Samuel she had fled into the night. She didn’t get far and was quickly captured as a right of vengeance. After the first night she never saw any of the men after dusk. Her door was always locked and she could not search them out on her own. She wasn't sure she even would if she could, their nighttime forms were terrifying. But, she had to admit, they were also very exciting. She remembered how the beasts had ravaged her in their anger and couldn't help but feel a stirring inside her. She had secretly enjoyed the carnal lust of being used so raw and unprotected but kept this fact from the men. She didn't want them thinking that they had to pick someone else for their revenge. Now she was stuck here. The Pride valued their secrecy over all else and now that she knew their secret she couldn't be allowed to leave. It was nearly noon and she knew any minute Jacob would be bringing her a tray of food. It was always some type of meat like fish or steak or chicken, a testament to their feline nature. She didn't mind the constant protein but after days of it was really craving something light like a salad. She was tempted to ask if she could pick some of her meals but never did, this wasn't a hotel and she wasn't a visitor. She was a captive. There was a knock at the door and Alison knew something was different right away. Jacob never knocked, none of them did, and they would just walk into the room without concern for modesty or privacy. It was just one of the little things that made them so different from normal humans. “Come in?” she said, it came out as a question, unsure of what was on the other side of the door. It slowly opened and Gerald walked in. Again she was struck at what a beast of a man he was even before the Change. Broad shouldered and muscular he came in and sat down on one of the couches in the room, motioning her to come to join him. Alison took a spot by him and looked at his face expectantly. “It’s been a week,” he said. “I know,” she answered quietly. “We cannot release you,” he said, his eyes downcast, looking at the floor. “I know that too,” she said. He still refused to meet her eyes so she continued. “So what will you do with me then?” she asked him afraid to know the answer. “WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME DO?” he roared and Alison jumped at the explosion. less

Excerpt “You will need to be undressed, your body will tear through these clothes,” Samuel said, almost apologetically. She smiled even if it was a little forced and began to take off her clothing. Once she was down to her underwear she paused and saw that they were all looking at her hungrily. When these men were changed into their feral forms they had a harder time controlling the most basic urges. There could be nothing for it, and she unfastened her bra to toss it onto the little pile of clothes she had made. Her panties slid off and she stepped out of them, kicking them aside to stand naked in front of the seven beasts. She extended her arm to Mathew. Finding her vein, he slid in the needle and depressed the plunger. Alison forced herself not to jerk back as the metal pricked her skin, feeling a little queasy at the sight of the blood. Suddenly she felt like the room had fallen out from under her. She stumbled, but was held safe by the clawed hands of the men around her. They lowered her to the floor of the ship and watched as her body shivered. An awareness of her surroundings dawned on her like never before. She could hear the beating hearts of each man around her, quick and strong. She could hear the lapping waves as they slapped against the side of the ship. The floor was cold on her back and she could sense every inch of it where it touched her. She could also smell the ship around her. It painted an almost three dimensional map inside her mind of where each man crouched beside her. The smell of the past crew of the ship lingered as well, something she had not noticed in her human form. The light that came from the portholes had seemed so dim before now provided amble light to see even the far corners of the room. Her skin felt itchy and she raised her arms in front of her face to see that thick, soft hair was sprouting from them, from her entire body. A wriggling sensation came from the below the small of her back and she knew that she was growing her cat tail. Touching her tongue to her teeth she almost bit herself on the sharp fangs she now had. “Alison, can you understand me?” came a voice. She tried to focus on who had spoken but her eyes, now much larger and foreign to her, wouldn’t respond the way she wanted them too. Concentrating, she narrowed her eyes and looked into the face of William, who cradled her. She could see every detail, every hair, and every line. His feline face was cast in worry for her. Even like that, he was beautiful to her. She felt an urge rise inside her body. She wanted to run, to jump high, and to chase anything that ran from her. Looking around at the men who crouched beside her, she realized she wanted something else as well. Something primal, something to quench the heat she felt in her new form.
