    About this ebook

    A 30-PAGE STANDALONE NOVELETTE SET IN THE HEARTBLAZE WORLD

    Ash, a high school senior from a broken home, performs an act of kindness that forces her into hiding. Now she’s living in the woods, training dogs to guard livestock. She soon discovers that she’s not alone in the forest. A dark, malignant beast is preying on her beloved animals. As Ash edges toward despair, a mysterious stranger appears…

    Magnus, a werewolf from the nearby town of Corby, claims he is hunting the beast, but he knows more that he’s saying. His connection to Ash, and his desire for her, take her by surprise.

    Their forbidden attraction captures the attention of Corby’s dangerous Gray Wolves, a council of elders determined to keep humans and werewolves apart. If necessary, they won’t hesitate to eliminate Ash, if the beast doesn’t get her first.

    To survive, Ash must balance the needs of her heart with the necessities of survival. If she fails, she’ll meet a gruesome end in a forest without pity.

    This is a werewolf story that depicts both human and animal deaths. It is not appropriate for children.

      Good read

      Interesting, realistic main character. It jumps right into tension. A couple spots felt a little rushed, like the author was trying to get under a wordcount. Not quite as emotionally invested in the relationship of the main characters. Excellent short, will read more.

    THE PRESENT

    It’s a warm fall morning as I patrol the fence line with Cerberus, my brave Anatolian pup with the white, fluffy head. Cerbie’s a good dog. He’s not quite seven months old, and already I’ve got him friendly with the chickens and goats, and he’s working on the sheep. Not a bit of chase behavior. He’ll be a great livestock guard dog, maybe the best I’ve ever trained. Once he’s fully grown, I can sell him to a nice farmer, and then I’ll buy a whole litter of pups to train. That is, if I can stand to part with him. It’s a sacrifice I’ll have to make to start my business.

    I can still see Dad, on the last day of his life, scratching his crotch as he yelled, Listen here, girl, playing with dogs don’t pay the bills. Dad’s gone now, but he still manages to visit almost every day. I’ll never be rid of him.

    Cerbie’s sudden growl startles me. He stares past the barbed wire, into the thick woods beyond. Cerbie’s body language is weird, something I’ve never seen. I have no clue what it means.

    I instinctively reach for the slingshot on my hip and scoop a handful of lead balls from my ammo pouch. I was raised with slingshots. I can hit a quarter at sixty feet. Slingshots are the perfect weapon. They don’t attract cops, like guns and bows, and they’re cheap and easy to repair. I built my own slingshot to fit my small hands. Every day I manage to bring in a squirrel, rabbit, or dove. I’ve never shot anything bigger, but a hunting slingshot like this one can take down large game if the shot hits the head.

    I look into the woods and see a dark shape sprawled on a
