I'm a doctor and a researcher. My pack is small, in a quiet part of central Texas. It's a simple existence, and I like it that way. It's just me and my two besties, living our best single lives.

I've barely made it off the bus when I lock eyes with the hottest wolf I've ever seen, and he reeks of power.
