Shifted Truths

SARAH

Two years ago, I watched a wolf rip my world apart.

Now I'm rebuilding what's left of my life in Willow's Haven-a quiet mountain town that promises safety for prey shifters like me. I bake, I smile, I pretend the ghosts of that night aren't still waiting in the dark.

But lately, I can feel eyes on me again. A shadow that doesn't belong. Notes left where no one should've been. Whispers that make my skin crawl.

And then there's Jake Walker-steady hands, warm voice, a smile that feels too good to be real. He makes me want to believe in safety again. But there's something in him, something I can't name, that calls to the part of me still covered in blood.

JAKE

I should've stayed away.

Sarah Miller doesn't need a man like me-a wolf hiding in a town that would burn me alive if they knew what I was. But from the moment I saw her, something inside me shifted. She's fragile, fierce, and braver than anyone gives her credit for. And someone out there wants to break her.

I can smell it.

He's watching her. Following her. Waiting.

And I'll tear this town apart before I let him touch her again.

But the closer I get, the harder it becomes to hide the truth about who I am.

Because the monster she's been running from isn't the only one with teeth.

In Willow's Haven, peace is a promise built on lies-

and love might be the one thing that can't be hunted down.
