Trials of the Blood

It's hard enough learning to be both werewolf and pack when you haven't felt like you belonged anywhere for most of your life. Even harder when you learn you're part of a protected bloodline that the American military itches to get its hands on. Harder still when that bloodline gives you terrifying powers that threaten your newfound belonging. Oh yea, and that guy you thought liked you before? He's a vampire.

With a simple phone call, 2000-year-old werebear Kristos finds himself inexorably pulled back toward the purpose he was built for. A purpose he's been trying to ignore for easily half his life. A purpose he thought had died long ago. But this purgatum is the first he's known of in centuries. The church killed the last one. Racing to her side from halfway across the country, Kristos learns that the day-walking vampire from his past is still alive.

Naiya is a wereleopard. Except she doesn’t know how that’s even possible, considering her entire breadth of knowledge of such things comes from pop culture and classic horror movies. So when her wealthy adoptive parents—in a flash of frustrating cluelessness—drop her into rehab just so she can get picked up by some shadow organization, Naiya can’t help but feel like everything she thought she knew about herself is wrong.
