Agent Knight looked up at the garden wall. It was easily eight feet tall or more. “The...abductor threw your sister on its shoulder and leaped over the wall?” “Not over it,” Eden said, her brow furrowed as she recalled the horrifying event. “To the top of it. A wall this tall is also deep. It's about four feet thick. It stood on top of the wall and...and...” “And what?” Knight's voice was low and persuasive. “Howled!” Eden slapped her hand over her mouth as if trying to keep the words from tumbling out. “It howled like a wolf.”

I was a wanderer. I looked for more. More to love. More to protect. More to save. Joining the military gave me the opportunity to find two out of three. It’s also where I fell in lust with Lawson, but it wasn’t the type of love you write home about. It wasn’t pure. It was the frantic, mind-blowing, toe-curling love that you wish could develop into your one great love. The Marines gave me the chance to explore the world, as well as some unfavorable countries. Until it didn’t.
