Chosen Wolf

by Stacy Claflin

  Cawing from a murder of crows disrupted the quiet of the night. I shuddered at the irony of the group’s name because they announced ominous things to come. They circled the outline of the moon. It gave them an eerie glow. They grew louder.

  “Is this a warning for me?”

  Silence.

  Several woodland creatures scurried away.

  Goosebumps formed on my arms and neck. I swept my long hair to the side and twisted it around my manicured nails. The moonlight made it seem especially blonde.

  I took a deep breath and ran a finger along the skirt of my dress. “Do you have a message for me?”

  The black scavengers flew erratically, completely blocking my view of the moon. Their cawing sounded more like screams. I wanted to cover my ears but refused myself the comfort. The noise became deafening.

  I squatted to the ground, refusing to leave. I needed to figure out their message.

  The birds dispersed and disappeared from sight as quickly as they’d appeared.

  Gasping for breath, I stood and steadied my shaking arms. My heart thundered in my chest. I was no closer to understanding the message, but I had ways of finding out.

  Saved by a Vampire is the story of Ziamara and Jet:

  Vampires. Witches. Werewolves. Betrayal.

  Ziamara nearly died, but a distantly-related vampire put a stop to that. After training to live safely among humans, she returns to her hometown of Delphic Cove to settle into her afterlife. Things are as normal as can be, until a pack of werewolves try to tear her limb from limb.

  She survives the assault but returns home to find her house destroyed. Her grandmother is missing, and the only ones who can help her are the very werewolves who threatened her afterlife! Neither Ziamara nor the wolves are excited to work together, but one member of the pack has caught her eye. At a time when the new vampire needs to focus, the only thing she can think about is him.

  When Ziamara and the pack get closer to the truth about her grandmother’s disappearance, they find something more ancient, powerful, and deadly than they ever imagined…

  Preview:

  My mouth watered at the rare smell of bacon and eggs. My favorite. We seldom found scarce commodities like pigs and could barely afford bacon or other cuts if we did.

  “Come down for breakfast, Ziamara,” called my grandma.

  “Hold on!”

  The food smelled heavenly, although what I really wanted was something else entirely. Delicious, red liquid. But I only had one bag remaining, and I couldn’t waste it. Not when I wasn’t sure where the next one would come from.

  Staring at my reflection, I found it hard to believe I’d recently faced death’s door. Though a bit paler than it once was, my complexion had never been better. Not a single mark marred my skin—no reminders of my long hospital stay.

  I rose and went over to my full-length mirror, turning from side to side. My bones no longer stuck out from all my lost weight. In their place were some lush curves, exactly where I’d always wanted them. I smiled, never having been so pleased with how I looked.

  Regardless, I threw on an old hoodie. I would draw enough attention, and I didn’t need my figure to add to that. Another day.

  I ran a brush through my newly long, thick shiny brown hair. Even prior to being sick, it had never been so full of life.

  How ironic, considering I was now technically dead.

  Okay, I’d been more than just at death’s door. I’d passed through, coming back on the other side. It’s all semantics.
