The Wolves in the Band

Abandoned in infancy, Jack Keller has always been a loner, until he meets the four guys who become his family. One complication — they're werewolves — leads to another — so is he. But if living as an outsider was hard, trying to make a place for himself among the wolves is harder yet. Still reeling from the shock of discovering he's not human, he has to accept his place as leader of his pack. He may be a prodigal, but some of the wolves are sizing him up for the fatted calf instead. Now he must go against the entire werewolf community to fight for his birthright, the woman he loves, and the new family he must lead. And to lose this fight is to die.

Mike did as Jack asked. Then they sat quietly, waiting. There were others, other forces, but none of them had the potential of Art's father. Jack wondered if he felt like that to his men.
