Tamaska is to become a wolf shifter but she might not survive the change.
Rogue Wolf
Protector Wolf Shifter Series Book 3
by Lilliana Rose
Genre: Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy
Tamaska started up the car, ready to drive back to the pack. She’d promised Kodiak she wouldn’t return to her apartment, but it was the middle of the day, when vampires slumbered or whatever they did…hung upside down like bats? She was safe in any case and the chance to shower, to wash away the past few days and grab some clean clothes was too tempting.
What’s the worst thing Kodiak could do to me?
The thought opened all sorts of delicious possibilities that she shut down.
It wouldn’t take long. She’d just grab some of her clothes and toiletries, a few things that would make the clubhouse more like home for her.
“But he said to head right back.”
Tamaska drove the car through the crazy Sydney traffic, heading back to Kodiak.
Home called just as strongly as doing what she was ordered to do. She was sick of wearing sweaty, stinky clothes stained with blood.
It reminded her of the vampires, the fight, and the death she’d witnessed.
Tamaska gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if that action could push away the images burned in her mind.
A horn blasted from behind, and her attention crashed back into reality.
The lights ahead were green, and the cars behind were impatient for her to drive on. Tamaska took her foot off the brake too quickly and lurched forward.
Another blast from a car behind her set Tamaska on edge.
If she was careless and caused an accident, the pack members likely wouldn’t be so forgiving—especially Onai, since Tamaska drove his car. She needed brownie points, not black crosses against her. She couldn’t keep messing up and doing the wrong thing.
Kodiak wouldn’t need to know.
And he wouldn’t, not if she was quick. He was too busy with his new role, leading the pack. He wouldn’t even notice, never mind be angry at her.
All she had to do was to get to her apartment, then get back with the carpet cleaners.
Easy.
Tamaska parked in front of her apartment.
It’s close to the clubhouse, anyway.
Without another thought, she got out of her car and hurried inside the apartment building. After being transformed, she would never need to go back again. It made sense for her to get some of her things now rather than later.
Excuse after excuse for this disobedience filled her head.
The sun shone warm on her skin—another excuse…it was too early for the vampires to out hunt her.
Returning to the apartment might be a sightly risky detour, but if she skipped the shower it wouldn’t count. She’s just go in, grab some things and leave. Easy.
The elevator ride to her floor was slow, and she had to stop herself from pacing the small space. Fortunately, none of her neighbors seemed to be around, and she hurried to her apartment before anyone saw her and started asking questions.
Tamaska took the hidden spare key out of the lockbox, unlocked the door, and swung it open. She’s just do a grab and dash so—
She gasped. Her hand covered her mouth as she stared, horrified, at the sight.
Her neat apartment was torn apart.
Tamaska stood frozen in the doorway. The words who did this filled her brain, but she knew. Of course, she knew.
Vampires.
Tamaska is being hunted by vampires. It is not safe for Tamaska to go out alone but she doesn’t listen. Tamaska is staying with her mate, a wolf shifter. Tamaska wants to be a wolf shifter but her boyfriend/mate, Kodiak is not sure that she would survive the turn and is reluctant to turn her.
Tamaska wants to go out alone one day after an attack she wants to be more help to the pact. She hopes if can help the pact more they will accept her as one of them. Kodiak nor any member of the pact think it is safe for her to go out alone with the vampires doing everything they can to get their hands on her. But Tamaska convinces Kodiak that she would be safe as it is still daylight and we all know vampires can’t come out in the sunlight.
I didn’t want Tamaska to go out by herself or at all I was so worried about what would happen if she did. But Tamaska wanted to help the pact besides all that she had her own agenda to complete. Tamaska wanted to go home and grab a few of her own things. I was like no don’t do it as I was afraid of what would be waiting for her there and I was not wrong.
The vampires are tired of not being able to capture Tamaska and as they need her badly for their own purpose decide that if they can’t have Tamaska herself then they would take Kodiak instead. They are convinced that they can get Tamaska to come to them if she wants to see her boyfriend again.
What is Tamaska going to do now? Will she turn herself over to the vampires to save the one she loves? How will she save him? Is there another way to save him without giving over herself?
Rogue Wolf is the third book in the Protector Wolf Shifter Series by Lilliana Rose. Rogue Wolf kept me on the edge of my seat waiting and wanting to know what the vampires were going to do next. The suspense had me chopping at the bit as I raced through each page trying to figure it all out. I couldn’t turn those pages fast enough as I had to know now.
I would highly recommend Rogue Wolf to all vampire and wolf shifter fans! Grab your copy of Rogue Wolf today! Be sure and check out the first two books in the series as well as I know you don’t want to miss one moment of this amazing series.

A sound rang out above her, in the direction she’d come from, and made her freeze. Her blood chilled.
Tamaska wasn’t losing her mind, and she wasn’t alone.
Her heart lurched. She didn’t dare to move, let alone risk going back up the stairs. And she couldn’t stay here.
If the staircase led down, maybe there was a way out. But she didn’t want to run. She wanted to get to the balcony area and search for the gem.
Was it worth it?
The softest thump, a footstep on the top of the staircase above her, accelerated her decision. She could only go down and hope there would be a hiding place in the basement—or better still, a way out.
As she raced quickly down the final stairs, a second set of footsteps echoed toward her. Her senses seemed heightened to a level she’d never experienced before.
Since when did my hearing get so sharp?
It didn’t matter. All that mattered was escape. Self-preservation spurred her instincts on, and she rushed down a narrow, dark corridor.
Except it wasn’t as dark as it should be.
Add my eyesight to that list, too.
Soft, orange guide lights pushed back some of the thick, heavy darkness. Yet Tamaska could see the details of the basement area as if it were fully lit.
Her senses screamed. Someone knew she was there. That someone had followed her. She needed to keep moving.
Evenly spaced doors dotted each side of the corridor. Ahead stood a brick wall and an old wooden table with a vase of black roses and a flickering candle. Sensing no way out past the wall, she turned her attention to the doors. Did she dare to open one? The thought of the strange kitchens upstairs chilled her.
She was running out of options.
If she was found, who knew what might happen to her alone in the basement? She would lose the chance to find the Blood Opal, and she wasn’t about to let that happen.
One door stood ajar. Tamaska pushed it open and stepped inside. Immediately, she wished she’d taken her chances and gone back upstairs.
The chilly air in the room hurt her lungs. A strong metallic stench seemed to stain the air, permeating everything.
And in the middle of the room sat a huge, thick table, like an evil thing. It made her want to run as the panic slid in close to her bones, but curiosity drew her closer.
Strange swirl patterns were engraved deeply into the tabletop. The space had to be for something sacrificial. Her gut twisted.
What the fuck goes on here?
She knew.
Red liquid pooled deep in the carved crevices. Was that…blood? Something drew her to it. She reached out, hand shaking, and pressed her fingers against the table.
A jolt went through her, and she snatched her hand away. What was that strange sensation? It wasn’t sharp or burning hot, but more like an energy zap that sent an uncomfortable vibration up her arm. Like a low-level electric shock. It didn’t hurt, but the unpleasantness left her wanting to back away.
Moisture clung to her fingers, and her stomach heaved as she looked. It was definitely blood, fresh enough to still be wet, but congealed. Her mind filled once more with the images of blood drinking.
Coming here was a mistake. I have to go. She turned to step away and bumped into something. And screamed.

She froze. There was a flash of darkness, as if someone stood to her left, and she turned her head. For a second, there was nothing. Then a huge, sleek dog came bounding out of the bushes.
She screamed, her fear of dogs taking over her entire being.
It was a giant of a beast, so much bigger than any dog she’d ever seen before, with clean patches of ochre fur. And it was beautiful. It didn’t seem like a feral dog.
She froze, staring at it.
She couldn’t move as it bounded onto the path coming right at her. Then it paused, stopping short, standing in front of her as its yellow and golden-flecked eyes stared straight into hers, sending heat spiraling through her.
The dog panted. The sight of the rapid flutter of its ribs that came with the breaths it took, almost like it was in total control, chilled her. Its mouth opened and the lips drew back, exposing long, sharp teeth. But in those eyes, intelligence glittered. The dog looked like it was on the hunt.
Tamaska waited for it to come and sink its white teeth into her flesh. Terror ricocheted through her, along with the horrible memories. Bracing herself at the thought of more pain, she couldn’t move as fear gripped her.
A dog had attacked her when she’d been a small child, a savage thing with hate and bloodlust in its eyes, the jaws strong and hungry for meat.
She’d fought and screamed and cried. She’d been too young to fight it off, and it had left scars on her arms and legs. She’d been lucky it hadn’t sunk its teeth into her face. Fortunately, neighbors came to help her, saving her life.
Ever since, she’d had a huge fear of dogs of any size.
Now, here she was, face to face with one that wasn’t on any leash. It looked down into her, almost like it knew her.
She swallowed over the hot, hard lump in her throat. The dog didn’t know her. It was just a huge dog, one that was too close, too big. She was scared shitless. She’d recognized the glint in its eye, the need to attack, the same look she’d seen in the dog who’d attacked her when she was a child.
The dog turned and ran off into the bushes, back towards the place where she'd first felt like someone had watched her.
Tamaska exhaled in relief and confusion. The dog could have bitten her, even attacked her, but it hadn’t.
The thing had looked at her almost like it had been checking up on her.
She raised a shaking hand, the heel of her palm scraped raw but, ignoring the bite of pain, she pushed her hand over her hair.
How had her life suddenly become so strange and complicated?
