This book may not be reproduced or used in whole or in part by any means existing without written permission from the publisher, Ellora’s Cave Publishing, Inc.® 1056 Home Avenue, Akron OH 44310-3502.
This book is a work of fiction and any resemblance to persons, living or dead, or places, events or locales is purely coincidental. The characters are productions of the authors’ imagination and used fictitiously.
Warning:
The following material contains graphic sexual content meant for mature readers. This book has been rated E–rotic by a minimum of three independent reviewers.
Ellora’s Cave Publishing offers three levels of Romantica™ reading entertainment: S (S-ensuous), E (E-rotic), and X (X-treme).
S- ensuous love scenes are explicit and leave nothing to the imagination.
E- rotic love scenes are explicit, leave nothing to the imagination, and are high in volume per the overall word count. In addition, some E-rated titles might contain fantasy material that some readers find objectionable, such as bondage, submission, same sex encounters, forced seductions, and so forth. E-rated titles are the most graphic titles we carry; it is common, for instance, for an author to use words such as “fucking”, “cock”, “pussy”, and such within their work of literature.
X- treme titles differ from E-rated titles only in plot premise and storyline execution. Unlike E-rated titles, stories designated with the letter X tend to contain controversial subject matter not for the faint of heart.

Chapter One
Bruno Tangaree pushed low-hanging tree branches out of his way. The cliffs weren’t too far away, and the salty wet smell of the Mediterranean hung heavily in the air. Moist air clung to his skin, dampening his shirt. He moved silently through the trees, more concerned with whom he’d find than the nearby ocean.
Taking control of the pack hadn’t been easy. Werewolves understood domination ruled. The strong prevailed. Their pack leader was old, beyond his prime. No one challenged his call to replace him. But Bruno wasn’t pack leader yet. He would be in hours though—at midnight.
There was a simple matter to take care of before challenging the old alpha. The werewolves of Malta were headed in a new direction, a direction the old werewolf who’d lazily kept the pack together for decades couldn’t master. Bruno would lead the pack, and he’d do it with his bitch at his side. Now was the time to claim her.
He stopped right before the clearing, camouflaged by the thick foliage surrounding him. Thick damp grass covered the open area before the cliffs. Just as he’d been promised, Renee Guarta stood at the cliff, staring toward the ocean. She’d run here to escape, knowing damned good and well that being out here alone was forbidden. Good little bitches didn’t run by themselves. It gave them a bad reputation. And a tarnished female had a harder time catching a good mate.
Not that Renee would suffer from that age-old belief that still maintained conviction in their pack.
He’d see to it. She was wild, as unpredictable as the elements, and she’d be his bitch. His mate. His woman. He’d made up his mind. There was no other who possessed the grace, the intelligence, the willfulness
