First 3 chapters of Werewolf Sanctuary, an action packed romance between an alpha
male lycan, and his wolf maiden. The first in a series titled, The Wolf
Maiden Chronicles, each depicts historical romances between alpha Males
and their human wolf maidens.
Since ancient times, the Lupercal Council has kept their people’s
werewolf identity a well-guarded secret. Referring to their kind as
lycans, they shift into a bear-sized wolf, bearing unique markings
reminiscent of Maori or Celtic tattoos. The pack shifts during the full
moon and are under the control of their alpha male leader. The alpha
male and alpha female are not bound by the full moon and can shift at
will. Lycans can only breed with their kind. The exception are the
alpha males, which can only mate with human women known as wolf
maidens, who bear the five-toed paw print or mark of the wolf on their
left hip.
The story begins with Lupercal society in peril due to an unknown
disease infecting their young offspring. The children who do survive
the pestilence, shift too early into wolf cubs, lose their distinct
markings, and end up becoming normal wolves, unaware of their human
consciousness. Normally immune to most known diseases, the Lupercal has
few of their own doctors and must seek the help of a human outsider to
find the cure.
Wyatt Weylin, alpha male of the Montana pack, and leader of a team of
mercenary lycans, flies to a World Wolf Conference in San Francisco,
where he hopes to convince leading authority on wolf diseases,
veterinarian Dr. Madeline Styles to come to his wolf sanctuary and find
a cure. The minute he sees her he feels drawn to her striking good
looks. The sensory chemistry is instant. He tries to suppress the
feeling, knowing that he is forbidden to fall for a human. Wyatt
discovers that the vegetarian animal doctor has the mark of the wolf
and he claims her as his life mate. Madeline slowly learns about
Wyatt’s true nature and the fact that she has been claimed, and like
all lycans, wolf maidens are microchipped to prevent escape. She is
told that she
has three moons to decide if Wyatt is the right alpha for her, and if
not, she must choose another. However, she can never leave their
society. Angered and confused she first balks at the idea until she
witnesses the entire pact shift, and learns that her own grandmother
was a wolf maiden who lost the alpha mate and love of her life. Feeling
the strong connection with Wyatt, she decides to pursue the cure to the
lycan cub disease. To complicate matters Bisclavaret, Wyatt’s enemy and
bad alpha lycan from the Bayou, is determined to make Madeline his wolf
maiden, one way or another.
Reviews for Werewolf Sanctuary
Werewolf Sanctuary by Eva Gordon
Paranormal Romance- May 6th, 2009
4 stars
I typically tend to be more passionate about reading vampire novels
when it comes to the supernatural fiction collection. But I could not
help but become intrigued with this shifter book! It had all the
elements that grab your attention. I found it an exhilarating page
turner from the beginning to end.
Werewolf Sanctuary begins with a burst of action that kept me hooked!
The author keeps the reader engrossed by explaining the main
character’s (Wyatt Weylyn) origin which was highly fascinating. At
Wyatt’s wolf sanctuary, the wolf cubs have been succumbing to various
ailments including death. Wyatt is on a mission to hopefully cure and
resolve this issue.
Maddie is a doctor in the biology of wolves and has a specialty in
their diseases as well. She was a wonderful character. I felt deeply
connected to her since she went through what many single women go
through before they find their soul mates. I particularly was
attracted to Maddie’s down to earth personality and courage handling
sudden new changes to her life in ways she never expected to happen.
How do their lives intertwine? You MUST read it to find out. This is
a guaranteed enjoyable read! There is a generous amount of romance,
action, intrigue and paranormal that will keep you energized and
wanting more!
