Shifter's Revenge (Alpha Lineage Book 2)

The night scared her now. The sounds that she had grown accustomed to were foreign. It wasn’t that she couldn’t differentiate between the crickets and the nocturnal animals that roamed outside of Maddox’s father’s house. It was the shield that she had lost. The skin that was now inaccessible. The fur and the claws and the teeth that she could no longer use as a weapon now remained a memory from her death.
Had she lost a part of herself? Yes. Did it satisfy some wish that she made months ago when she was tricked into following the carefully laid path of her sadistic uncle? No.
Not anymore. Kera would give anything to be whole again. She wanted to be the woman Maddox fell in love with. She wanted nothing more than to be a strong shifter that could stand by his side and help him fight this ugly war that she brought on. Luke was her uncle and Rayland his. They had bound together to tear apart the shifter pack by using her.
Kera let the wheels turn in her mind without making a sound. She wasn’t ready to think about the possibility of her mother leaving her family and starting a life with her father to protect this pack. The possibility had been weighing on her for a better part of a week. The book her mother had taken, stashed and given to her for her birthday had been the key to this mess. Her stomach sickened as she thought about what could be inside the book. In just a few seconds of being in her hands she had overpowered Maddox and sealed her torture at the hands of Andrew. There was still a dark gap in her memory from the events that lead her away from Maddox to waking up in that dirty cell.
