Unscramble Courage

Book Two of The Moon & Sun Series After everything that I have been through in my decidedly short 18 years of life, I kara Ravenfield, am determined to show them all that I can in fact do this. It's not going to be easy, there's an unknown threat looming, and I feel it in my bones that it's going to affect so much more than just the other wolf packs.

People who have my back but give me the courage and the space to do it my own way. After all, what more can you ask for in potential mates than pure acceptance and support.

Jessie watched Justice North from the far corner of the room and bit her lip. She really wanted to work up the nerve to approach him. He’d been on the news often but he appeared even taller and better-looking in person. Not too many people intimidated her but the man who had been appointed the leader of the New Species Organization by his own people was one of those rare few.

Justice gave orders to her bosses and held the power to change some of the task-force policies that she didn’t agree with. The chance of finding another opportunity to have a chat with him was slim to none. She wasn’t allowed to attend briefings her team leader held with the tall Species leader. Her opinion was irrelevant to him but the issues were important. She hesitated, considering the ramifications. Tim Oberto would haul her into his office if he found out she’d gone over his head. He’d be his normal loud self and tear her to verbal shreds.
