Whispers of the Wildwood [EPUB ebook] 
Moon of the Shifting Tides

Enter the rain-drenched forests of the Pacific Northwest, where the Wildwood Lodge whispers ancient secrets and harbors a pack unlike any other. Within its weathered walls, Elena Reyes, a dog trainer with an uncanny empathy for animals, confronts a challenge that will push her gifts – and her heart – to the limit.  Summoned to guide young Liam Hayes through his first werewolf transformation, Elena finds herself caught between the rigid traditions of Alpha Leroy Hayes and the raw, untamed power stirring within Liam.
Liam, a canvas of intricate nature-inspired tattoos, carries the weight of an ancient prophecy, one that speaks of a werewolf whose power could either unite or shatter their world. His storm-grey eyes mirror the turbulent skies above the Wildwood, reflecting a desperate plea that resonates deeply within Elena’s own wounded past. But Leroy, scarred by betrayal, views Elena and her “modern methods” with suspicion, creating a volatile tension that threatens to erupt as the moon waxes full.
As Elena and Liam navigate the tumultuous path of his transformation, a hesitant friendship blossoms, deepening into something far more profound. They share their vulnerabilities, their hopes, and the scars that have shaped them, forging a bond as strong as the ancient trees surrounding them.  But their fragile sanctuary is threatened by Teresa Perez, the ruthless alpha of the rival Bloodmoon pack, who senses Liam’s untapped power and plots to exploit it for her own vengeful ends.  And unknowingly, a local photographer, Emily Carter, stumbles upon a truth that could expose the werewolves’ hidden world, igniting a ticking time bomb that threatens to shatter the delicate balance they’ve maintained for generations.
Under the spectral glow of the full moon, Liam’s transformation unleashes a chaotic storm of primal power.  With the Bloodmoon pack descending upon the Wildwood, Elena must choose a side – and embrace the full extent of her own extraordinary gift.  In a breathtaking battle of wills and untamed instinct, Elena and Liam face their greatest fears, challenging ancient prophecies and forging a love story as wild and untamed as the whispers of the wildwood itself.
