Enjoy an exclusive excerpt from Christmas Wolf Surprise 

When Maverick Wilding had gone running as a red wolf with his twin brother, Josh, he had seen
the woman trying to fetch water in her water bag for a campfire meal, he suspected, having
smelled the smoke from the campfire. It was good that Maverick and his brother had split up to
cover more territory while looking for any sign of a reindeer in the area.

But as far out on the lake as the woman had walked and then seeing her trying to break a
hole in the ice, he knew it was too dangerous. With his sensitive wolf hearing, he’d heard the ice
cracking in a way that meant danger, and he’d raced to warn her, to chase her back away from
the peril in the event she didn’t heed the warning. He sure hadn’t expected to fall into the lake
himself and he was still chiding himself for the mistake that could have killed him.

He was grateful that the woman’s brother, Weston, had rescued him. Maverick’s fur coat
had kept him warm and helped to stave off the initial shock of the cold, but the longer he’d been
in the water, the worse he had felt, and realized his struggles to pull himself out of the lake had
been in vain.

Now the woman, Gina, was petting him in her tent and he was finally feeling better,
warmer. She’d put that awful-smelling antiseptic on her hand, and he wondered if she’d cut her
hand on the jagged ice. He’d smelled her blood and hoped the cut wasn’t too bad. He glanced at
her, enjoying the warmth from her body, her blanket helping to dry his fur coat also. He breathed
in her scent—woodsy, sweet, and human. She was a pretty brunette, her hair tangled about her
shoulders, her dark brown eyes closed now.

He had to get out of there as soon as possible so he could meet up with his brother before
Josh worried something bad had happened to him though.

“I don’t know, do we push on and keep searching for Bigfoot, or do we turn back like
Gina said?” Bromley asked the other man still at the campfire as they put out the fire.

“I think we should wait and see how Weston is feeling in the morning,” Patterson said.

“They will never stop hunting for Bigfoot and werewolves, even if it kills them,” Gina
whispered to Maverick. “As if any of that were real, of course, just between you and me. But I
do worry about them encountering bears or a wild boar, or even a cougar—much more likely and
more dangerous than Bigfoot or werewolves.”

Werewolves. The last time Maverick’s red wolf pack had heard about Bigfoot and werewolf hunters, their pack leader, Leidolf Wildhaven, had gotten involved, learning that the
hunters had actually witnessed an Arctic wolf shifting in Maine. Those same men then killed two
of the werewolves from the pack that they’d discovered, injecting them with silver nitrite, though
that would kill any human, part wolf or not. One of the werewolf killers, who had all called
themselves the Dark Angels, was dead. One had been convicted of the crime of killing the two
men, that he swore at his trial were werewolves. And Leidolf had actually bitten the third man
and turned him into one of their kind to get him to reveal the location of the other werewolf
killers. He was now working for him and his mate, Cassie, at the pack ranch as their accountant.
Sgt. Elijah Wilkinson had formerly been a finance NCO in the army, but everyone called him
Sarge.

Maverick would have to warn the rest of the pack not to strip and shift out in the open
where these men were located. He was afraid Josh would track his scent here and worry that
these people had hurt him. What if Weston and his buddies thought Josh was a werewolf too?
