Joining: A Complete Series

RUN FROM THE MOON

On our first date, he stood me up. When I gave him a second chance, he nearly killed me. Davey Cartwright and I grew up together and I’d spent most of high school dreaming of running my fingers through his dark curls. When I finally got my chance to go out with him, he didn't bother to show up.

I never forgave him for breaking my heart. He disappeared from school shortly thereafter, shattering me completely. After dropping out of college, I’m back in my hometown, and wouldn’t you know it? Davey turns up on a dating app. He's a perfect match, of course. I want vengeance, so I bribe him with dinner and drinks.

This time, he shows up. Except now he’s a monster and his sights are set on me. It wasn’t bad enough to leave me ripped to shreds, alone on the street. Now, Davey and his whole pack of shifters are running me down, convinced I’m destined to be their alpha queen.

They can go straight to hell.

SING TO THE STARS

If I run, they can't find me.

My inner wolf screams to be reunited with my pack, but I can't promise myself to them or anyone else. This is all too much for me and I'm in too deep. Mom keeps calling me but how do I return her calls when she can't know what's going on in my real life?

College has accepted me back with open arms despite the fact that I cheated on a test, but I recognize the scent of a Guardian hunting me through the halls. He knows where I am, he knows what I am, and what happens when there's nowhere left to run? We still don't know why a bunch of jumped-up anti-shifter murderers are gathering werewolves, but it can't be for anything good.

Besides that, T, Calvin, Eriq, and Davey are right on my tail. My heart belongs to them, but my mind says they're barking up the wrong tree. How am I going to keep them away for their own good and my own?

DREAMS OF THE DAWN

I never intended to have a family, much less a pack of werewolves at my beck and call, but here we are.

With Lorenzo back on our side, the militarized Guardians are breathing down our necks every time we stop to make camp. I doubt he's helping them yet he certainly messed up things for us. He's going to have to earn our trust back. Our. Me. My pack.

Being an alpha means I'm constantly worried and, as my pregnancy nears its end, exhausted. And after the pups are born? I'm at a total loss. I don't know how we'll keep our pack on the road and safe; not when the Guardians are capturing werewolves and auctioning them off to whoever bids the most.

No matter where we go, we're hunted. No matter what we do, we're in danger.

This has to stop.
