PROLOGUE

Del-Rey Delgado, the Coyote Ghost, was alpha leader of the teaathered around him from various parts of the Council’s ranks Coyote Breeds that he had rescued, men he had trained hiround world knew only as Tea to take on the most suicidal of missions

They had rescued heiresses, assassinated despots and posed as security for soreatest leaders in the world Men who never knew they were dealing with a shadowy force that had been created rather than born

There had even been a few times that they had protected Council et the information they needed and still keep their reputations intact Those leaders had always died once payment was collected

As Del-Rey had told histhe plans they had took an excessive amount of money

Plans such as rescuing other Coyotes who ed to find a way to contact Del-Rey’s shadowy force This day, he stared into winsome blue eyes and wondered if perhaps the Genetics Council hadn’t truly created a creature without a soul when they created hi wo her

Sixteen and as beautiful as a sunrise Long red gold hair flowed over her shoulder in a silken braid as she stepped into one of the dirtiest, e for her to actually come here

A breath of fresh air, a single fragile fla the ainst the bar in a signal to his second-in-command, Brimstone, and looked to the door as the entire room went quiet

Even a five-year-old would have enough instincts to run in this situation But this girl didn’t run Her chin lifted as she stepped into the establishh the room

She was a gang rape waiting to happen here Son of a bitch

He nodded to his men and watched as they moved froed on her, surrounding her as Del-Rey and Brim moved from the bar to the back roo

He aiting when she was pushed through the door, sitting on the corner of the s lazily as he watched her Rounded eyes, parted pink lips, her breathing harsh And a hint of fear in those eyes

She should have known fear well before she made it here

Using his foot, he pushed the single chair toward her

“Sit,” he growled, deliberately letting the animal he was rumble in his voice
