Their love isn't like any other. They aren't supposed to be how they are, but that's just what they are. They can't change it. They are falling through the cracks in the system and having to pave their own path.

Lane watched those he loved, with every part of his heart, have their lives taken away. As their bodies fell limp, his wolf raged. Ever since that day, he's taken every measure he could think of to keep werewolves away. He has masked his scent, moved to a farm surrounded with human neighbors, and has dropped contact with anyone he knew to be a werewolf. He was a lone wolf and lived happily so. Then comes a rogue with a strong scent. Her every touch leaves the grass on his front lawn smelling like her. With an angered wolf, he threatens to end her life if she doesn't stay away. And, it works... until it doesn't.
The creatures came at the darkest hour of the night. They attacked, slaughtered and took. That night, they took so much from Aria. Her screams didn't cease for hours and even when they did, her tears couldn't stop falling. When she meets Lane, all she can remember is what the creatures, the pack wolves, did to her. Her only instinct is to run and hide.
Turns out, the Moon Goddess had another fate in mind for them.
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
