THE PROXY LUNA

From the back cover

"When your daughter turns eighteen," Anna said slowly, "my son will come for her. He'll claim her as his wife. And he'll make her Luna of Dark Howl Pack and Queen over the werewolf kingdom."

Mike Hawthorne went very still.

"Anna, what are you saying?" He asked, his voice barely a whisper.

"This is the only way I can repay you, Mike." Her voice cracked, but she didn't stop. "I owe you my life, so in return I'm giving your baby Olivia a future. The best future a shewolf could ever have."

She hurried to the bed and reached down, brushing her fingers against Olivia's tiny hand. The baby's fingers wrapped around hers instinctively.

"You're going to be a queen someday," Anna whispered. "My son will come for you. I promise."
