Evie is back and fiercer than ever. After graduating from the Academy two years ago, Evie and her team have already tackled everything the council can throw at them, but when Evie is forced to return to Darkwood territory because of a rise in Blood lusted in the area. Can Evie handle it? Mike was lost for a time, but the thought of his pup kept him from doing anything stupid, that an the stupid hope that Evie might come back to him. He notices Bloodlusted vamps are coming closer and closer to his territory, no one is safe. So when he calls upon the help of the council, he doesn't expect Evie to actually return to him. Although he knows he can't have her, or can he?
