Excerpt from Whispers of Darkness:
Prologue
“Lincoln knew the second his parents died, he may have only been 6 years old but he knew; the blow to his gut, the unmistakable tear to his heart was all the proof he’d needed.He’d been stalking his friend Caden through the tall long grass that had grown during summer; it had turned golden with autumn providing great cover for his friend to hide in. His sandy fur, dappled with dark eyes couldn’t be seen but Lincoln had always been a predator, he’d been born with the natural instincts of his panther and now he used those instincts, taking in his surroundings; the slightly bent grass, the air currents and then he pounced.
Caden never spotted his friends dark small body as it sailed through the air, they’d crashed together, rolling around in a mass of fur and then sparkling light, an eruption of laughter as two best friends reveled in the joys of their game. That had been the moment he’d felt it.
At first Lincoln had thought he’d been shot, he’d gasped for breath clutching at his chest, looking down he’d expected to see dark red blood spilling from his body but there had been nothing there. Caden had ran for help as he’d watched his friend crying out gasping, but before anyone reached him the pain subsided and Lincoln knew as a dull empty ache filled his heart that he’d never see his parents again, never listen to his mothers soothing voice as she read him stories or sit star struck as his father told him about the battles and fights he’d had against the hunters.
In that moment Lincoln Turner had grown up, his path had been forever changed and he’d vowed to never hide from his heritage, he’d spend the rest of his life hunting down those who killed the innocent. He’d live only for his revenge, for the kill and the rush from his beast, he’d become a lone predator, his heart closed off from the world.
But what Lincoln didn’t know was that one day in his quest for revenge, he’d meet a girl who should have been his enemy and she’d fill that dull empty ache in his heart, she’d become his new path, his new destiny…”
