When the Werewolves Stop Being Bikers, It’s Time To Look for Them Elsewhere

May 14, 2025 4 Comments

By Juleigh Howard-Hobson

So you won’t take me swimming with you, then? he whispered to her.

He hadn’t changed despite the full moonrise. Elizabeth knew it was time. He wasn’t what she was looking for. And he knew too much. He’d have to be dealt with. Her tail splashed impatiently in the rising tide.
