Sky Brooks World: Ethan

Pack life is dangerous on an ordinary day. But now the vampires have broken a tentative truce, and a young lone wolf is at the heart of a secret scheme to shift the balance of supernatural power forever. Ethan-Beta of the most powerful pack in the country, the Midwest Pack-must keep those he cares for safe. Skylar barely understands what she is, and her introduction to the supernatural world is terrifying. In her eyes, werewolves are no different than the vampires who killed her mother. As the vampires' efforts to capture her grow bolder, she reluctantly accepts the Midwest Pack's assistance. Ethan soon discovers Skylar is more than she seems-a werewolf who can wield magic in previously unknown and dangerous ways. The list of Skylar's enemies grows, and some in the pack want to kill her to prevent a larger catastrophe. Will Ethan risk the lives of his brother and packmates to protect a woman he doesn't know? Ethan will kill Skylar if necessary, but first, he will do everything in his power to save her.

Someone is determined to destroy the Midwest Pack and the Northern Seethe. Sworn enemies, the were-animals and vampires form a fragile alliance that is threatened from within. As if Ethan, the pack Beta, doesn't have enough to worry about, his ex, Chris, is getting closer to learning pack newcomer Sky's secrets, his brother Josh is playing with magic that could kill him, and Sky has formed an unlikely friendship with a very unusual vampire. In a race against the clock, Ethan must save his pack, distract Chris, and protect Sky and Josh from their reckless and potentially deadly actions.

Ethan's losing control. Past choices are coming back to haunt him, and an old curse threatens to drive him from the pack. As if Ethan doesn't have enough to worry about, Josh is helping Sky dabble in dark magic, drawing the attention of every dark witch from miles away. While Ethan tries to shield her from the consequences of practicing dark magic, an unknown enemy has come looking for revenge, and an alliance between the fae and the witches threatens to draw the pack into all out war.

A pack is only as strong as their Alpha. After an attack injures our Alpha, a rival pack tries to take control of the Midwest Pack. I have to consider the unimaginable to protect my pack-challenge our Alpha. A challenge against the pack's Alpha is a challenge to the death. Am I prepared to do this? Loyalties are divided and our pack is ready to implode. Saving my pack from self-destruction becomes impossible when Sky's relationship with an enigmatic vampire puts a price on her head, and Josh's continued use of dark magic brings on the wrath of the witches and earns him new enemies. While the pack's in chaos, it's not just them I need to protect, but Sky and my brother as well. I'm starting to lose my tenuous grip on my control.

I vowed to protect my brother and my pack at all cost, but this time the debt for the protection might be my life. A war between my pack and the witches is long in the making. They'd do anything to destroy us. When a close ally is nearly killed by them, Josh goes rogue and retaliates. It's not without deadly consequences. While I'm handling the mayhem that's threatening to destroy my brother and pack, an Alpha from another pack is causing havoc in the only thing in my life that isn't a wreck-my relationship with Sky. But losing Sky to another man becomes the least of my worries when her spirit shade forces her to cast a dark spell over the pack. Now I fear I might have to choose one: Sky's life or my pack?

We've secretly lived among the humans for centuries. Anonymity is our weapon of choice. But that's about to change. An altercation between were-animals was caught on video and went viral. Now a vital member of our pack is sitting in jail and if I can't get him out before he shifts during the full moon, then our existence will be discovered. If we are outed, there is a risk we'll take the rest of the supernaturals with us. They'll do anything to prevent this from happening, including ridding the world of were-animals. We were once a pack of hunters. Now we are the hunted.

Keeping our existence a secret protected the pack. Now the wrong people know about us. That's the reason the Alphas and I have been abducted to be hunted for sport, but we have no intention of going down without a fight. Escape seems nearly impossible once it becomes apparent that we've been betrayed by those that we once considered allies and many of our secrets have been exposed. If we are to survive this, we need our pack. With the disappearance of the Alphas, Sky has become the Elite Alpha. Sky has always been the pack's heart but she'll have to become darker and more ruthless to help us. I have no doubts that Sky will rise to the challenge but I know it will come at a price. As my mate, I'd give my life to protect hers and I know she'd do the same. That's the problem. The cost of our safety might be more than I'm willing to pay.
