Special thanks to my friends and family. Thanks to my local writing group for helping me hone my craft. Special thanks to Dr. Rita Carey, who helped me to find my voice. Thanks to Randy and DiAnne for their continued involvement in my career.
I’d especially like to extend a special thanks to those of you reading this book. Without your support, stories like these would not see the light of day.
Thank you.
Battle for Dominance
The edges of the mountains glowed red as the sun slowly surrendered to dusk’s temporary reign. Less than an hour remained ‘til the moon would peak out from its hiding place beneath the horizon, and the hunt would truly commence.
Leone glanced toward the rest of the townsfolk as they followed him up the trail. Only a few of them understood the true conflict pooling beneath the deaths of a few cattle and a missing group of trigger-happy hunters. The other pack, driven either by hunger or greed, had crossed onto their boundaries. Unless a deal could be struck anew there would be a lot of bloodshed tonight—by claw and fang, not by bullets.
Rounding the trail they arrived at the large clearing he’d scouted out the day before. The trail goes deeper into the mountains from here,
he announced. We’d better make camp and rest for the night. It’ll be a long hike tomorrow.
Horses were useless up here. The perpetrators had obviously picked the roughest terrain possible so that only foolhardy townsfolk on foot or members of their own kind could pursue them. The rest of the men nodded at his advice, separating into small groups and gathering fuel for a fire.
They had taken some convincing, but the people weren’t stupid. They’d noticed that the ones who followed their main tracker’s advice survived and that those who took matters into their own hands didn’t. More importantly, they trusted him, even if they didn’t fully understand what was really going on beneath the surface.
So, what do you think we’re really up against?
his brother Wesley asked, watching the townsfolk like an uncle would his nephews he’d been ordered to protect. Safe to say they’d be useless in the fight, I assume?
He nodded toward a stable boy’s shaking hands as he tried to untie his bedroll. Even the local butcher’s face was paler than usual. For years he’d earned his living hacking up flesh that couldn’t complain, much less fight back. It was a poor preparation for combat, human or otherwise.
That’s right,
Leone assured him, Gonna have to make sure none of them follow us, either. There were at least a half dozen separate tracks at the hunters’ lodge. We should be able to handle it if we keep it all— in the family.
Got the answer to that right here,
Wesley said with a grin, pulling a large 5 gallon container of whisky from his pack. "They’ll sleep all
