Shifting Hearts

Thirteen years ago, Jessica fell in love with a wolven boy ... or so she thought. When the last night of band camp resulted in a surprise litter of wolven pups, she was heartbroken when her summer love vanished, leaving her alone to raise their human-wolven kids.

Determined and dedicated, Jessica has done everything she can to ensure they grow up as part of the human and inhuman communities, including sending them to Elkwater Music Camp, where their father, Aksel, has been an instructor for the last twelve years.

When bloodlines and alliances run thin, Aksel, the last eligible male of the Sk闤lburg Pack, is tasked by his foster father with mating outside their territory to strengthen the sparse wolven numbers. There's only one problem: Aksel is a one-woman wolven, and he's spent the last thirteen years pining after Jessica, the girl who got away.

Focused on his work as the local high school's band instructor and his summer job as the Marching Band Director at Elkwater Music Camp, Aksel has almost managed to forget his lost love until the day he catches a familiar scent on four of his newest students.
