Weathering the Winds of Change
Yui Ito Yoshida had always lived on Hat Island. She didn't think she could live anywhere else. She'd faced trauma as a child, more trauma as an adult, but now? Now she had a mate, two children, and she was happy. Safe. She laughed when they called her the Woman of Hat Island, but she had to acknowledge she was deeply rooted here. It was her refuge.
Then Stefan Lebenev showed up to reopen the Wolf Harbor Resort. And she wasn't sure even the island she loved could keep her safe from the storm he was bringing to Hat Island.
When Stefan Lebenev thought he might be able to keep girl shifters alive during first shift, he needed a place for a research lab. He returned to the only place he'd ever felt safe — Wolf Harbor on Hat Island — and to the only person he ever felt loved him, Yui Ito, now Yui Oshida. The fact that Yui had married Okami Oshida, one of the most feared warriors in the Northwest, wouldn't hurt. Because if Stefan could do what he thought he could? He would change the shifter world forever.
Okami Oshida didn't want Stefan here. He represented change. And change, in his experience — centuries of experience—meant the risk of danger to the people he loved. But as he listened to the man, he knew two things:
One, Stefan's prototype serum could mean his own daughter would live through first shift. He'd do whatever he had to for her to live.
And two? The Woman of Hat Island was calling her boys home. That had far-reaching implications, and might be as dangerous as the serum itself.
