The Urban Wolf by
Zerlina Valinski
Genre: Paranormal
Romance
Ragen Kerrigan a gorgeous young
woman who has a way with animals as well as hurting people. She heals with a
mere touch. Using this mysterious skill, she does not understand, she’s a much
admired Vet.
Liam O’Neill is a,
Zerphalin, a shape shifting warrior, much like a werewolf, created by the
Celtic goddess Macha. In his past existence in another realm, his heart was
broken. Now he lives in the mortal realm. He’s lonely, yet turns down sexual
advances of a beautiful Sensual Moon Witch. Liam longs for something more than
meaningless sex. In his long life time, he’s had enough of passing affairs and
sharing a woman is out of the question.
Goddess Achtland appears
to Liam out of the blue. She issues him orders to find a female relative of
hers currently living in the mortal realm. In return, Achtland promises him to
help find his mate.
Ragen goes to
Chattanooga, into the big city, to a fund raiser for their animal hospital.
After letting her friend off, Ragen parks her car several blocks away. As she
walks to the event she’s accosted. Out of nowhere, an amber eyed champion
arrives saving her. Liam, owner of The Urban Forest, introduces himself as the
Urban Wolf. He invites her to his club after the fund raiser event ends.
Ragen accepts his
invitation, not realizing her life is going to change forever. With the help of
Liam, she’ll embrace her place in the supernatural world. Ragen is about to
become the Warrior’s Faery Princess.
The heavy beat of the
music filled the Urban Wolf Club. The place was packed to overflowing. Liam had
sought the privacy of his office just to get away from everything and everyone,
even if that meant rustling through the papers on his desk trying to decide
what bills to pay first. The check book was open, and he’d already paid ten
bills. “Damn I hate doing this shit. It’s hard to think with all this noise.”
At times it could be
difficult running two different clubs. Tonight both were packed. It was talent
night, the night for local performers to show off their best. They came from
all around to sing, dance, and play various instruments for the chance to win a
big prize, to be on stage and be heard. Some had real potential, and on a few
occasions talent scouts had come to his club to hear the performances. So,
tonight was the busiest night of the season in both clubs and to make things
worse, the moon was full.
Upstairs he catered to
the local humans while downstairs he hosted the more special clientele. Both
groups had their issues at times, especially when the supernaturals mixed with
the human customers. And, he had a feeling, it was going to be a particularly
challenging evening. A large group of Sensual Witches was visiting on their way
to the new Lustulian temple to serve as priestesses. For the moment, the lusty
women and the local pack of werewolves were downstairs enjoying some carnal
delights.
Even in his back office,
the sound was overpowering. “I just need to give it up.” Liam put his head in
his hands. “But I gotta get these paid tonight.” He slammed open his ledgers,
then turned on the computer. He could smell the varied scents of all of the
people in his territory. The human patrons paid the bills and kept his cash
flow where he liked it. But their emotions were powerful and he could sense
them, especially the more nefarious ones. Sometimes they threw him into
overdrive. He was a predator and some of them were no more worthy than prey.
Damn, I need a vacation.
He snarled. I’ve gotta get away from everything.
After writing two more
checks, he stuffed them into envelopes. The annoying noise pounded in Liam’s
aching head. “Fuck, I can’t think, there’s too much going on here tonight.” He
threw down his pen, and it rolled off the other side of the desk. As he was
about to get up to retrieve it, there was a knock at his door. “What?” His jaw
tightened with irritation.
“There’s a delivery for
the kitchen.” Tobias opened the door to stick his head in.
“Come in.” Liam waved.
“They need your
signature. I’ve checked everything, it’s all here.” Tobias pushed the door open
and walked to Liam’s desk.
“Kinda late for a
delivery on a Friday night.”
Tobias stopped at the
front edge of his desk. His hair was unfashionably long and shaggy. He handed
Liam the bill of goods. Liam reviewed, signed it, and then handed it back to
him.
“It’s only 6:30.” Tobias
shrugged. “It’s not really all that late.”
“Oh, guess not.”
“But why are you working
on a Friday night? You’re the boss.”
“It’s gotta get done.”
Liam frowned. “I’ve got nothing better to do, and I just don’t want to deal
with the crowds tonight.”
“Can I bring you
anything? You should really cut lose. Enjoy the night.”
Liam barely heard
Tobias, his mind deep in thought as he looked over the next bill to be paid.
“Hey, you listening?”
“What?” Liam looked up.
“You still here?”
“Yeah. Did you hear me?”
Tobias frowned.
“I guess not.” He looked
back down at his ledger.
“I asked if you’d like
me to bring you something.”
“Nah, I’m fine. I have
some whiskey.”
“Okay. Call if you need
anything.” Tobias closed the door as he left.
