Legacy of the Wolf — Daphne Loveling

Cassia has been having increasingly vivid and disturbing dreams for the past month: A large black wolf is hunting her, and it is only a matter of time before he catches her. The mysterious medallion her father gave her as a child holds the key to her legacy - a legacy that only dark, sexy Lukas Benning can help her uncover. Warning: this 5800-word erotic story contains hot, graphic scenes of passionate sex that will leave you panting for more. Intended for mature audiences only! EXCERPT: Fear, sharp as a blade, sliced through her. She ran as noiselessly as possible through the trees, searching for any place to hide. She knew, deep down, that she was too slow, too clumsy, to outpace them, but she was hoping she could get herself to someplace where they couldn't get at her. Sprinting as fast as she could, blindly, she tripped over a tree root and went sprawling. She felt rather than heard the alpha turn his head in her direction. She scrambled to her feet, knowing it was now pointless to try to pass unperceived, and started to run wildly, looking around for anywhere to take refuge. She heard crashing through the trees to the left of her, and suddenly, he was there, in front of her: the wolf, his eyes glinting in the moonlight. Her mouth opened in a scream, but the sound caught in her throat. With a low growl, he leapt at her, covering her body with his. Cassia sprang awake, panting, her eyes wide. The dreams, again. Why would they not stop?They had been coming every night for almost a month, now. Each night, they got more intense and more disturbing, shaking her out of her sleep in the middle of the night. Cassia stared wildly into the blackness, looking for any sign that her nightmare had followed her into wakefulness. Instinctively, she clutched at her medallion for protection, as she had in times of fear since she was a little girl. The medallion, which she wore on a long chain nestled between her breasts, felt warm to her touch as always, comforting her.
