CHAPTER 1

Harrison McBrodie snarled at the man dying before him. As he stood over the pitiful excuse for a human, he allowed his claws of his left hand to retreat within as the remaining blood dripped from them.

I didn’t betray them. No matter what they said. Please. Do not let them kill my daughter.

I do not concern myself with your issues. You should not have done whatever it was that initiated the kill order.

The man coughed up blood and spat. What I did? I refused to rape a woman and kill her baby. All in the name of ‘research’ on what it would do to a shifter. He lay back, his energy gone. I protected one of your kind.

Within the next breath, his life ended. The actual killing didn’t bother him and for the most part, he couldn’t care less who they directed him at and let him loose. That was, after
