The Kindred: Sable
The Kindred Series ~ Book One ~ Naomi Valkyrie & Sinister Styx


Being a necromancer is murder on relationships...
After a bad breakup six years ago, I moved out to the sticks. I love my own company, but I'd also love a warm body on a cold night.
When a cursed wolf shifter shows up in my woods stuck in his fur skin, I take a chance and let him follow me home.
But no good deed goes unpunished. Danger looms when his past shows up threatening to take him from me.
Using my powers to defend us breaks the curse, but can I keep the wolf? Or will he, regardless of our mate bond, abandon me like so many others out of fear of what I can do?
A quick read short story for a bite-sized reading escape!
