Prologue
The woman moved smoothly around the corner, ever sense hyper alert in the dark. The prey was somewhere close ahead, its heart beating fast in the dark. This was the moment she loved most, sliding through the night like a shadow, an incarnate shape of all man's most primeval fears, with only the steady thrum of the over excited heart of the victim to focus her senses on. There - right there. Gathering her limbs she sprang for the kill.
And was rewarded with a squeal of delighted laughter.
"Mummy!"
"And what's my girl doing up so late? You should be in bed, little one."
The small pouting fact looked up at her through the darkness. "Had a bad dream again, Mummy."
With a quick heave Sophia picked up her daughter and carried her into the lamp lit living room of the apartment.
"Was it the Wolves again sweetheart?"
The small face crumpled into a frown, baby blues wide with worry. "All the Wolves Mummy - all bloody and dying, and all the traps!"
"Was it soon, little one?"
The frown intensified as her daughter tried to place the dream in time. "Not soon Mummy. I was this big", her hand waved in the air at vaguely twice her present height. Inwardly Sophia sighed in relief. Not for years yet. For even though the Pack had rejected her she still knew that one day she would have to go back. Not for her - she didn't need them, but for the sake of her baby, her little true Dreamer, who stared up at her with bright blue eyes. The eyes of her father all over again. Lucas Cates' eyes.
