Book 1 of the "Genetic Monsters" Series Thirteen years ago, a Rogue Werewolf Healer started down a path of destruction, kidnapping, and experimentation that left many dead, and some forever altered thanks to his genetic experiments. He'd been trying to create the perfect specimen, the beasts that used to haunt horror stories and made humans quiver in fear. Direwolves. Lycans. The nightmare fuel of old. His own niece, Rebekah, was his first successful specimen. ----------- Rebekah had always dreamed of meeting her mate, but when 23 came and went, she realized she might spend the rest of her life without her soulmate. She was determined to take over her father's pack eventually, being his only heir, but the Council of Werewolves had other ideas, and they insisted she needed to have an alpha male to take over the pack. Rebekah vowed to take her pack into her own hands; the Council be damned. And to hell with anyone who stood in her way. She'd given up the idea of finding her mate to focus on her responsibilities to her family and her pack. But all she ever wanted was to be loved and admired, so when her mate finally appears on-scene, will she finally have everything she's been waiting for? Will her plan to be the first female leader fall to the wayside, her girlhood dream consuming her? Or will she, like many women before her, find that love does not truly complete you? That sometimes, we are all fated to be someone better, do something better? She could do anything a man could, and she would prove it.
