Darion by Lisa Cullen

Angela
I’ve never known what it felt like to have a home. I may have grown up in Beaver Brook, but this little community has always made me feel like I didn’t belong. The outskirts is where I feel most comfortable, but even then, there is no space in the in between that feels like mine.
That is until I find myself face to face with death.
A stroll through the woods changed my life in an instant. The sharp bite of a big cat wakes something up inside me that feels like it’s always been there. Darion, the only man who has ever made me feel seen, is there to guide me through my first shift.
My world is changing. I’m changing.
It’s all I can do to hold on, but there is more change on the horizon.
The humans of Beaver Brook are growing restless with the shifter presence. Their intolerance and hatred burns hot and leads them right to us. Darion is the alpha of the leopard pack, my new family, and if we have a chance at surviving this fight he needs to listen to me.
I never felt like I belonged in Beaver Brook but I know what drives the humans. I never saw myself fighting against them but here I am, throwing my lot in with a pack of wild cats I hardly know desperate to save them, myself, and the man I love.
