Q&A with Bonnie Vanak, author of Obsession
Are you a plotter
or pantzer when it comes to writing?
I’m a “plantzer.” I do both. In addition to writing my self-published Werewolves of Montana series, I also write for Harlequin, so I have to turn in a synopsis. A synopsis is a terrific writing tool. With my Werewolves of Montana books, I’ll write a basic synopsis when I’m starting a new story. It helps me to gain a good idea of the characters’ motivations and emotional conflict.
Do you prefer an alpha, beta or gamma hero?
Alpha, definitely. Love writing and reading about alpha males. In my new Werewolves of Montana Mating Mini, Obsession, the hero is an alpha werewolf who lost his pack.
Which would you rather read, historical or contemporary romance?
Historical romance. My first books were Egyptian historicals. I had so much fun researching the Victorian time period of Egyptian history when archaeology was extremely popular. I included a real historical character, Flinders Petrie, in The Falcon and the Dove, my first book. There’s a fun scene in Obsession, where I include excerpts from The Falcon and the Dove, as the heroine is reading it. Jessica is a werewolf who adores reading romance novels!
What’s next in your Werewolves of Montana series?Passion, the third Mating Mini, will be released next month. And I’m working on Redemption, the fourth Mating Mini, and The Mating Challenge. The Mating Challenge is Aiden’s book. He’s the leader of the Mitchell pack in Montana, a very sexy alpha wolf who has been pursuing Nikita Blakemore, alpha female of the rival Blakemore pack. I’m planning to release Aiden’s book this summer. I already have the cover and if you “like” my Facebook page, you’ll see it posted there.

EXCERPT #1 FROM
OBSESSION(copyright 2015 by Bonnie Vanak)
No one would miss
her. They were too absorbed in the thrill of the run.
But something
scuffled along the forest floor. Jessica tensed. She lacked the
magick to properly clothe herself, and she was too exhausted to shift
back to wolf.
A beam of silver
moonlight spilled upon the forest floor, and hit the wolf standing
there in the quiet glen.
Raphael. He’d
turned around to find her.
Jessica shivered
anew. He shifted back to Skin and stood before her, equally nude.
Moonlight glinted on his dark hair, shadowing his face, silhouetting
his strong, athletic body. Such a prime example of a fierce male
Lupine. Desire flushed her body, chasing away the cold. Then she
remembered what he was.
Pureblood.
Unlike her.
Her arousal faded.
She stared into the forest, her chest hollow.
“Why are you
sitting here?” He joined her, sitting on the ground, lacing his
hands around his knees.
He was still naked,
too. Jessica hugged herself, more from the cold than modesty. “I
felt like a break. Just wanted to absorb the beauty of the night in
Skin form.”
What a lie. He could
easily see through it, she knew he could. But Raphael only leaned his
head back against the tree. Then he waved his hand, conjuring a large
flannel shirt and handed it to her.
“You look
chilled,” he murmured.
Grateful, she
slipped it on and thanked him. He regarded her with his steady gaze.
This Lupine didn’t ask why she failed to conjure clothing, or make
her feel awkward.
Jessica looked at
him. “I’ve always been different from other Lupines. In my pack,
my alpha doesn’t like me socializing much with the single males
because he doesn’t want me choosing a mate from them. He likes
keeping the bloodlines… pure.”
“Your alpha is
narrow-minded. He cannot appreciate your true beauty. Simply because
you can’t run as fast as the pack, or have the same magick as most
Lupines doesn’t make you weak. Just different.”
A wry smile touched
her mouth. “Funny. I just said the same thing to Daniel.”
“I know.”
“You overheard
that?”
Smiling, he picked
up a lock of her hair, and rubbed it. “You have a very kind heart.
It’s one of your many unique qualities, Jessica. Compassion for
others. A naughty sense of humor. And a most exquisite mouth. Small
and ripe, as sweet-looking as a fresh cherry.”
No man in college
ever told her that. They just wanted her to lie down and spread her
legs. Jessica had wanted more. Needed more.
His gaze dropped
lower, to her legs.
“You’re quite
tempting. And very clever. And naughty.”
Her jaw dropped as
he pulled her into his arms, and turned her over on his knee. Raphael
pulled up the shirt and caressed her bottom.
“So plump and
lovely. Such a sweet ass.”
A moan tore from her
throat as his hand moved lower. Raphael traced the curve of her
buttocks, then slid a finger down to her core. “So very sweet.”
Shock pummeled her
as he brought his hand down firmly on her bare ass.
“That’s for
screwing up my phone.”
As she shrieked out
a protest at the stinging slap, he pressed his mouth upon the spot
he’d just spanked. His mouth felt warm caressing her naked flesh
where the sting of his palm still resonated. Raphael’s gentle kiss
soothed away the brief pain. “And that is for being kind to
Daniel.”
Jessica scrambled
off his lap and sat on the ground, staring at him. “What do you
want, Raphael? You’re an enigma, more than me.”
Moonlight revealed
shadows in his dark eyes, tempered with a flicker of haunting
loneliness. “The same thing you desire, little Red, though we both
deny it. We both want a place to call home.”
Confused, she kept
staring at him. “But you have a home here with J.J.’s pack.”
“I live here. But
it is not home, and can never be a home. I’m a stranger here. So
you see, Jessica, like you, I am also outcast and until I unite my
former pack, it will always be so.”
Her heart turned
over at his confession. She drew closer, slid a hand over his bearded
chin. “I know what it’s like to be lonely among many.”
As she reached up to
kiss him, he lowered his head. Jessica closed her eyes and sighed at
the subtle pressure of his mouth. She parted her lips and he
responded with a light touch, nibbling gently at her lower lip, his
tongue slipping inside the moist cavern of her mouth. She slid her
arms around his neck, inviting him closer.
Warmth spread
through her, heating her blood, surging into her veins like fire. His
scent wrapped around her like a blanket, warm male musk, spices and
citrus. Jessica felt the hardness of his arousal against her belly as
she pressed closer. She wanted that hardness inside her, pushing so
deep that they’d become one, his seed filling her, making her
pregnant with his baby…
Realization hit her.
Gasping, she drew back. Raphael panted, his eyes darkening with
desire.
“You’re coming
into your heat,” he said, his voice deep.
EXCERPT #2 FROM
OBSESSION

He parked a lean hip
against the tree’s trunk and folded his muscular arms. In his red
flannel shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to display tanned forearms,
and faded jeans with scuffed Western boots, he looked like an
ordinary cowboy. But there was nothing ordinary about this Lupine.
Curls the color of
blackest night spilled down to his collar. His strong jaw was covered
by a close-trimmed beard, and a crisp mustache framed a mouth far too
sensual for a man. But there was nothing sensual about the sharp,
angular features of his face nor the darkness of those brown eyes.
Those eyes seemed
ageless, and ancient pain lurked in their depths as he gazed down at
her.
Jessica studied the
acres of green pasture, the gleaming buildings, and thought about the
expensive motor cars parked in the garage. “It must be nice to be
wealthy,” she mused.
“There are worse
things than having no money,” he said quietly.
“Easy to say when
you have plenty of it.”
“I’d trade all
the money in the world to regain what I’ve lost.”
He looked dark and
dangerous and yet he had an air of vulnerability.
“What did you
lose?”
Raphael shook his
head. “Another time, little one. Perhaps one night I will share
that information.”
“You don’t
believe in sharing during the day?”
His gaze became
hooded. “With you, I would much rather share…things… at night.”
Jessica felt her
entire body flare with heat. Every time he gazed at her with those
bedroom eyes, she felt a jolt of sensual awareness.
Her Lupine nature,
with all its raging hormones and sexual need, howled for release.
But his seductive
gaze wasn’t centered on her face now. He stared at her curls.
“What’s wrong?
Never seen a redhead before?”
“Not of that
color. I have met some red wolf Lupines, but their coloring is
darker.” Raphael left the tree, approached her. Before she could
squeak a protest, he wrapped a strand of her hair around his index
finger.
“It is like living
flame that does not burn. But do you burn, Jessica? Burn with the
desire all our kind possesses?”

Dorian is hosting quite the kinky little party. Most of the
guests are in some form of undress. He sits watching everyone around him have
sex with a man by his side and a woman at his feet. The man kisses down his
chest, but he cannot be more uninterested as he looks at the painting around.
With a cleared out house, and an open chest bearing robe he takes a candelabra and
heads through a hidden passage. Down a mirrored hallway to a single life sized
portrait, his own. He looks upon it, sitting before it.
Vanessa sits outside of a church. A little girl asks her why
she doesn’t go in. She thinks that Vanessa wishes to go in by the way that she
looks at it, reminding her that its only an odd church. The little girl
prattles on, and asks if Vanessa has a sweetie. Vanessa does not. She tells her
that her father put her mother into the ground, but that they don’t stay there.
Her musings worry Vanessa for a moment, but the girl only meant Heaven or Hell.
Lucy’s nanny comes to collect her. Vanessa goes back to looking at the church
and spot Dorian. She’s drawn from her seat finally.
Inside the church’s garden Vanessa stalks the seductive
Dorian. She sees him stroking some Orchids, inhaling their sweet scent. She
approaches him, and he offers to show her something extraordinary. He brings
her to some purple flowers and asks her to smell them to describe them. The flowers
talk dirty to her, they’re deadly nightshade. He proves to be a fount of useful
information, something he’s never been called before. They stroll in the garden,
and he continues to charm her, bringing her to what he actually wished to show
her. A rare Chinese slipper orchid, one that takes up to fifteen years to
bloom. It only blooms for a moment, and Vanessa asks if it’s poisonous. Like
all beautiful things, he hopes so. Dorian excuses himself, he has another prior
engagement, but tells her where to find him later.
A hematologist, Professor Van Helsing, looks over a blood
sample with Victor Frankenstein. Victor uses his steady hands to prepare
another sample. The blood decomposes almost instantly. Van Helsing tells him that
the blood contains a property that makes the blood not coagulate, one that
would make the host need to consume large amounts of blood. Victor closes the door
before he continues. He wishes to know what he knows, how he came to be
involved when he says that he’s seen it before. Van Helsing tells him that he just
met Malcolm recently , that he knows Malcolm is looking for a cure, but there may
be none.
The monster, Caliban, is stalking his father, still wanting
his father to give him what he thinks he’s owed for having been abandoned. But,
what he’s asking for is not an easy thing. Victor needs not only supplies but
time. The monster wishes for his bride now, but wants her to be beautiful. Caliban
taunts Victor, warning him that humans are such fragile things, that the future
belong to the strong. Victor is left shaken.
Ethan is once again in Brona’s arms. She tells him about a
past trauma, a previous engagement, where her fiancé couldn’t even look her in the
eyes as he screwed her. Her mother told her to marry him, but she didn’t. She
turned tricks. Ethan tells her that they’ve both done things in their past that
they regret as he pulls her close. He comes up with an idea to take her out for
a night on the town, after work. She asks him to be careful.
Fenton struggles in his chains, as Victor prepares a
treatment. Fenton asks for Vanessa. Malcolm asks him why he wants her, everyone
seems to. Ethan and Victor hold Fenton while Victor injects him, and Fenton
turns all weepy. He sees so many monsters, and falls asleep. Ethan asks why
they’re doing this again, they’re seeking a cure. Victor prepares to do a
transfusion, but Ethan tells him its not a good idea. Malcolm is willing to do
it, and Victor warns its going to hurt.
Upstairs Victor and Malcolm discuss the Ripper and his
latest victims. Ethan finds them to be too bloodthirsty. Malcolm breaks up the argument
before it starts. They’re on the verge of finding the cure. Malcolm asks Ethan
to join him when they go abroad to find Mina. Vanessa arrives, and hears their
plans to go to Africa. Vanessa seems unusually chipper. Sembene tells them that
Fenton is awake, and they go to check on their patient. He asks if they are
going to beat him, and they don’t have any plans to. He tells them that he is
hungry, and Vanessa rolls him her apple. He goes mad, calling her the devil’s
whore. He needs blood and guts he tells them. Victor reiterates that it will be
a process.
Vanessa follows Ethan back to the house. It’s not at all
what he was expecting she knows. He wonders how far they plan to go. She isn’t
sure, but tells him to enjoy his evening. Rather than heading back below, she
heads upstairs.
Victor and Malcolm ponder what they should get Fenton to
eat. Sembene brings him a dead cat. Fenton falls upon it, ripping at it with
his teeth.
Ethan and Brona head to a show, to see the Penny Dreadfuls.
Brona has always wanted to come, and she’s very happy to be there. Ethan takes
her to her seat, and she’s more than a little nervous. Ethan even buys her an
orange. Caliban looks out over the crowd as the show begins. Brona is
enraptured in the show, and she’s not the only one who’s watching Dorian Gray
is there too, and Vanessa surprises him by showing up.
Victor asks if Vanessa spoke the truth about Africa, and his
traveling companions. Malcolm opens up to him. He tells him that he lost his
son in Africa, that he reminds Victor reminds him of him. But where his son was
weak, Victor is not.
Fenton feels his master’s presence. He tries to break out of
his chains, and cannot, so like any trapped animal he begins to chew off his
limb.
Caliban works the stage below as the show continues up
above. The show is a gory mess, as it concludes. The blood frightens Brona for
a moment, but is a hit for all. The crowd goes wild. Sembene watches from the
shadows.
Malcolm and Victor continue their research. They hear a
noise up above, but Sembene has the night off. The chains below are empty.
Malcolm and Frankenstrin go to investigate the noise. A vampire growls at the
men, Fenton jumps upon Malcom’s back. Vanessa is not in her room. Fenton warns
his master that she is not there, and he runs off. Malcom finally manages to
throw Fenton from his back, and he skewers his head.
During intermission Vanessa runs into Ethan. She isn’t
surprised to see him there. He introduces Vanessa to Brona. Dorian finds
Vanessa, and Brona goes all uncomfortable. Brona pretends to not know Dorian,
but he definitely remembers her. As they chat about how Ethan and Vanessa met,
Brona makes an escape. She’s upset over Ethan and Vanessa’s easy friendship,
and tries to drive Ethan into the other woman’s arms. Brona knows she’s dying,
its only a matter of time. She tells Ethan the next time he wishes to sleep
with her, he’ll have to pay her like everyone else. A shocked Ethan watches her
run away into the night. Dorian comes out to find Ethan, to tell him that the
next act is about to begin. Ethan asks if he ever wished he was someone else.
Dorian tells him if that is what he wants to come with him. Ethan asks if
drinking will be involved, and it will, but Vanessa will not be involved, she
is who she wishes to be. Ethan goes with Dorian, and it looks like the show is
about to get even sexier than ever, or so one can hope.
Brona’s consumption gets worse as her hacking continues. She
falls upon the street, coughing up more blood than ever. I think someone is
about to get his bride!
Dorian takes Ethan to a place that isn’t completely legal,
Ethan assure him that it isn’t his first time. Through a darkened passage way
they descend. Bets are being made, and rats are dumped into the ring below.
This is not exactly the thing he was expecting. They bring out ta dog that is
going to kill the rats, one of the best. He begins the slaughter, as the men
cheer. Dorian watches, but Ethan is not amused. As the crowd’s roar becomes deafening,
Ethan has to get away. He heads to the bar for a drink. At the bar some men
take offense to Ethan not enjoying the little sport. They poke at Ethan, and he
gets into a fight. The group overpowers Ethan.
Dorian apologizes for Ethan’s experience in Dorian’s
bathroom. The walls of the bathroom are lined with bottles of fragrance. Ethan
asks Dorian how he chooses, it would depend on how he wants to feel. Dorian
asks Ethan if he like portraits, and Ethan goes all guy’s guy on him. It
delights Dorian, that he plays his part to perfection. The pair imbibe in some absinthe,
Ethan’s first.
Vanessa returns home, and knows something is wrong. Malcolm
tells her that the creature came, that the boy is dead. The creature was after
Vanessa, that it allowed Fenton to be captured and they took the bait. Vanessa
fears that Mina may be beyond their help, that she may be her enemy. Vanessa
reminds him that she isn’t the only one that Mina may hate. He plans to carry
on in the fight.
Ethan asks Dorian if he has a favorite portrait, and he
does, but it isn’t in here. Ethan opens up to Dorian about an Indian town that
are thousands of years old that have some of his favorite artwork. They were
pictures of everything they found important. He appreciated the primitive but
honest art. Dorian wonders if anything can be honest, he thinks perhaps music
can be. Dorian pulls out some music for his vibraphone, and plays the heart
breaking opera for Ethan. Ethan relieves his entire night with Dorian. His
meeting with Vanessa and her cards, seeing the mutilated bodies taken out and a
bite upon his hands. More Absinthe, death, the dog killing rats, Fenton, mayhem.
He stalks towards Dorian as the music nears its conclusion, grabbing him by the
throat and kissing him. He rips away Dorian’s shirt and stops stunned. Dorian takes
his cue, and removes Ethan’s shirt as the music dies down. The two share a
string of sweet kisses as they look into each other’s eyes. Dorian proves just how
seductive he can be. Seduction 101 demonstrated perfectly by Dorian.

Season two will once again star Laura Vandervoort as Elena, the world's only female werewolf; Grek Bryk as Jeremy Danvers, the Pack alpha; and Greyston Holt as Clay Danvers, Elena's on-again-off-again werewolf BF. Steve Lund and Michael Xavier will also be returning as Nick and Logan, respectively. And they'll have a lot to contend with in season two: Jeremy's not-so-dead-after-all father Malcolm has vowed he's not done with the Pack, Logan's family life is under serious threat, and Elena will have to deal with the horrific fallout from her relationship with Philip.
Although author, Kelley Armstrong, will not be associated with season 2 of the show based on her characters, her facebook page did say that season 2 will be based on the second book of the series Stolen, meaning we'll be introduced to some non-werewolf supernatural characters.

Elena gives
Clay a bath. He needs to get ready, she tells him they’re ready, the mutts
haven’t moved yet. He thinks that he failed her, that he couldn’t save Philip,
but he didn’t fail her. Because of her Philip was in danger, and she finally
knows the truth. He sacrificed their love for her life, no more sacrifices she
tells him. She puts his wedding ban back on is finger, and he kisses her hands.
Nick loads
firewood. Jeremy and Nick prepare to torch their records to protect everyone
should the mutts get ahead. It’s not just for the sake of the werewolves
against humans, but against the mutts too. Jeremy tells him that there are
secrets down there passed down from Alpha to Alpha. Nick grabs the kerosene.
Daniel
Santos tells James Williams, that the pack getting Clay back isn’t the end of
the world, they still have a chance. He asks if Santos knows what rubble does
to Italian leather, but by the scuff marks on his shoes he doesn’t. Williams
isn’t confident in Santos’ thought process, but he thinks Santos may have
tortured the fight out of Clay. Santos knows that didn’t buy them much, he
should have killed Clay when he had the chance. Williams points out that he has
another chance, everything is in place, but they have to strike now.
Rachel and
Logan find a cheap motel, until their flight. Logan tries to comfort Rachel,
but she’s worried about Elena and the rest of the family. Logan looks around,
but he doesn’t have answers. He offers some comfort food, pizza with anchovies.
Logan plans to pamper his baby’s momma from here on out, and she likes the
idea.
The phone
Elena planted in Santos’ vehicle still hasn’t moved. Nick asks after Clay, and
Elena admits that he isn’t good, that they did a number on him. Elena is
worried about him, about Nick too, and plans to make the mutts pay for
everything they did to the people that she loves. She tells Jeremy that Clay is
resting but he needs days not hours. Jeremy doesn’t want to toe around the
distance between them. Elena tells him that neither of them can change the
past. Clay did what he did to protect them from eachother, without protecting
himself. She vows to stand between anything that threatens him, even Jeremy.
Marsden
reads the writing on the wall of the town, and LeBlanc wonders if he’s gone
bonkers. Marsden is a very smart man, he learned hobo code to further himself,
and refuses to ever sleep scared in a field as a wolf again. LeBlanc mocks him,
stupid mutt. Santos comes and tries to prepare them for war. It’s Marsden’s
turn to mock. He bid on the wrong pony in this race. Santos uses Williams’
words about gravel and Italian leather, but the words means less with his own
scuffed non Italian leather shoes. Marsden is the only one of the group
probably wearing or accustomed to wearing Italian leather. Santos says they’ll
see how they look when his feet are using Jeremy’s head as a footrest.
Jorge checks
in with Jeremy. He’s cleaning is done in Toronto. Jeremy asks about Philip.
He’s gone to France. The website for James Williams is a fake, and it’s ran by
Nate Parker, who has gone missing. Last known address is Churchhill, which just
so happens to be where his father Malcolm died. Jorge points out that Malcolm
didn’t die easily, and he needs a show of force against the mutts. Jorge thinks
that he and Joey should head to Stone Haven, but Jeremy declines. He knows the
mutts are after Elena, and he needs to know that if things go South, another
wave of pack will fight to get her back. He tells him if he’s worried about
Elena to send her to Vancouver. Jeremy won’t do that, the pack is stronger when
she’s with them, and it’s the only chance they’ve got.
Elena tends
to Clay’s wounds. Clay tells Elena that she owes her a bottle of bourbon. After
she came to apply to be his research assistant, Pete bet him a bottle of
bourbon that he’d fall in love with her. He lost, but they both won in the end.
She kisses him, and her computer goes off. Santos’ car is on the move. She
brings the computer to Jeremy, as long as the phone has battery left they can
track him. Clay grunts in pain, and Jeremy decides to wait and let them come to
him. Nick sees it as a disadvantage, giving them what they want, but Jeremy
thinks that they can pick them off one by one. Elena sides with Nick, but Clay
is with Jeremy, knowing that they will have to kill them to take anything.
Jeremy declare they will win or die there, but at Stone Haven they are
strongest together.
Rachel gets
an earful of her neighbors in the lovely cheap motel. She sends Logan a text,
as the noises get worse. He tells her he’s having car trouble, to hold tight.
Nick brings
in a big bag of bear traps. The mutts are twenty minutes out. Jeremy rearranges
furniture, Clay and Elena board windows. Nick puts a big pot of oil on the
stove. Elena and Clay set some bear traps. Jeremy shows Nick a secret passage
in the Legacy room. Nick asks how he never knew about the passage, and Jeremy
admits that they survive because of their secrets. He tells him that he met his
mother once, that Antonio didn’t want anyone to know he was in love, but seeing
them together it was obvious. Antonio didn’t say a word that day, just staring
at her. Nick admits that he asked Jorge to find her, but Jeremy tells him that
he doesn’t have to do that, he knows where she is.
Rachel looks
in the fridge, it’s empty. She heads out to find snacks, because that’s totally
the safest thing to do when you’re pregnant and on the run.
Clay sits in
pain. He’s clearly not ready for this. Someone pushes their way in, it’s Logan.
They all sit and wait. Jeremy asks how Logan is, and he’s fine. Jeremy admits
that he was scared, Logan asks because he left or because he returned. Jeremy
tells him that bringing Rachel here complicated matters for all of them. Elena
tells everyone that the mutts are getting closer. Logan tells Jeremy that right
or wrong it clarifies things, he cannot adhere to the rules. He refuses to
steal his son from Rachel so that Jeremy can raise him. Jeremy points out that
he was half way to somewhere else, so why did he come back. Logan thinks it has
nothing to do with pack rules, but because they’re his family. No one else is
going to die, not today. Jeremy asks where the mutts are, they’re outside.
Jeremy decides its time to go out and greet them. The pack head out, but they
don’t see them. It says he’s there, but they don’t see anything. Rachel comes
running out of the woods, taped up, with Elena’s cell phone in her pocket.
Logan runs to her, and a mutt comes out of hiding. Jeremy spots it, and heaves
an axe towards it as Logan runs with Rachel in his arms. The axe hits its mark,
landing in the wolf’s skull. With Rachel in Logan’s arms, the pack heads
inside, bracing for the worst. Jeremy tells him to hide her. Oh they’re ready.
Elena sees that they’ll have to fight as humans. There’s no time to change.
They’ll fight in pairs, no one fights alone.
Logan takes
Rachel up to Elena’s room, and unties her. She was blindfolded, and stuffed in
the trunk. She heard the men say they weren’t going to stop until all of them
were dead. She grabs him tight, and then pushes him away angry. He knew it
wasn’t over, and he left her. He confesses that he couldn’t leave her not yet.
He shows her a hidden room in the wall, and tells her to get in. She asks if he
plans to strangle someone else into submission, no, silly girl he plans to kill
them. Rachel finally thinks she realizes what she’s gotten into. She gets into
the hideyhole, and Logan runs off.
LeBlanc
wonders why they don’t just burn it down. Santos tells him that its his house
to Mardsen’s amusement. Santos sends them in, but he’s not coming. A true king
leads the first wave, Marsden remarks, but Santos is no king. He has more
minions heading in, nothing more than meat. Santos doesn’t see Marsden running
in, but he’s not the heir apparent, nor is he meat he makes clear. He’s just
the pain in his ass, he tells Marsden, and sends him to babysit Marsden.
Marsden tells him that he’s going to get everything that he has coming to him,
shaking his hand before heading off.
The mutts
begin with an explosion, as a pair of them come in through the kitchen. Jeremy
and Nick head off after them. Another explosion, this time near the foyer, and a lone wolf comes in. Clay throws a bear
trap his way, ensnaring the wolf, who Clay easily kill. Two more come in, one
the wolf that Clay removed all his teeth, Samuel Boggs. He’s back with some
metal chompers, how very Jaws of him. The pair beat at Clay and Elena, and Jeremy
is given a bath upstairs. It’s a very wet and wild fight. Elena holds her own
against her mutt, and when he hits her with a battering ram, she uses an iron
pole against him. Another grenade sounds, and Clay gets battered with the
battering ram.
A mutt
enters Elena’s room, and Rachel tries to keep quiet, peeking though the small
hidey hole, as Nick takes him on. Jeremy finally drowns the worthless mutt, as
Marsden and LeBlanc storm the castle. Marsden tries to get LeBlanc to focus on
Jeremy, but he still wants a piece of Elena. Elena still goes toe to toe with
pole boy, and Clay finally knocks the battering ram out of Boggs’ hands. It’s
an all out brawl in the kitchen, but Elena is faring well.
Nick and his
mutt continue their fight around the bedroom, as Rachel struggles not to make a
sound. The fight is right in front of her, and she watches in horror as Nick
finally kills the guy. Nick opens the door, sexy and a little out of breath,
and Rachel tells him that she’s so scared that he heart is going to explode.
She wants to get out, but Nick makes her promise to stay there, he will be back
for her when he can. She makes the promise.
Williams
arrives with a big briefcase to the front gate of Stone Haven, where Santos is
waiting. Santos gleefully tells him that everyone is inside, but Williams
questions why he’s not in there too. The orders were to storm it, take it, but
Santos decided to watch it from afar. Williams points out that’s no way to show
Elena the real alpha, and he moves to show Santos a secret of his future house.
On no! My bet is that Williams is Malcolm, former alpha and Jeremy’s pops and
he’s about to show him the secret tunnel into the house. Good thing they didn’t
hide Rachel in the tunnel.
Elena’s
fight takes her down to the basement, aka cage and Legacy room. The door to the
dumbwaiter opens and a big black wolf jumps out, attacking the mutt. And that
is how the pack rolls. Logan rips into the man, when another enters the
basement. Logan takes off after him, as Elena finishes him. LeBlanc grabs Elena
from behind, by knife point. LeBlanc wants to make a new scrapbook, and Elena
taunts him to drop the knife and take her on fairly. Marsden snatches Elena
from LeBlanc’s clutches. LeBlanc is tired of his orders, of the rules to not
touch Elena, when all he wants to do is touch her insides. She some sort of
prize, but he’s not into prizes, and he moves to slash her. Marsden hits him
with a punch that sends him reeling though the nifty glass map. Marsden tells
him its not because she’s a prize, but because she’s a lady. The man does have
a code, and well LeBlanc has been shitting all over it. Elena guillotines him
with the map, and it ends up in his chest, same result. Marsden declares
mutiny, and although Elena has no reason to trust him, he’s declaring it
anyways.
A bloody
human Logan walks back to the house from the woods. What is the point of
shifting back? There’s still a war going on inside.
Clay and
Boggs fight around the kitchen, and Clay uses Nick’s oil to disarm the mutt. He
knocks out his chompers while he’s at it. Elena and Marsden emerge from the
basement, and Clay moves to protect Elena, but she stops him. Marsden is now a
good guy. Clay thinks he’s a Trojan horse, that they should kill him before he
betrays them, but she refuses, he saved her life. Boggs makes a run for it, but
Elena stops Clay from giving chase, they have to find Santos. Clay turns his
attention back to Marsden, telling him that they let Jeremy decide. Jeremy and
Nick head back downstairs. Still no sign of Santos, the pair set out to find
and kill him. Logan goes to Rachel’s hiding spot. Damn girl is gone, dammit
Carl stay in the house, what the hell is wrong with that girl. Logan tears
through the house, and out the way Jeremy and Nick went. Elena and Clay head out
too. Logan tears off into the woods, to look for Rachel, Nick goes with him.
Williams and
Santos seek inside through the tunnel, and find a dead LeBlanc. Now they go
upstairs Williams tells him. The house is empty, and Santos spots Marsden
looking out a window. Santos sounds surprised that he’s alive, thinking that
must mean that the pack is dead. They aren’t, Marsden tells him that it’s all
to hell in a hand basket. Santos doesn’t understand why he’s just standing
there. Marsden was warned that if he ran they would follow, and he believes its
better to face the music anyways, even if it’s a swan song. Santos, coward that
he is, makes a run for it. Santos doesn’t get too far, surrounded by the pack
on all sides. Santos runs back towards Marsden, but he too blocks his way.
Jeremy understands that Marsden has had a change of heart, and Marsden admits
to recent wrong doing. Santos turns on Marsden, blaming him for the crimes of
Scott Brandon, the mutt that killed three people before he was killed himself.
Marsden doesn’t deny it. Jeremy questions how he knows that this recent
awakening of conscious is permanent, and Santos pops in with a “you don’t.”
Even Marsden tells him the same. Elena tries to speak on his behalf, but
Marsden stops her. He admits that until recently, he never chose a side, lived
a solitary life, only pledging allegiance to the long con. Santos thinks its
still a long con. For Marsden it isn’t. All he asks for is a swift death.
Jeremy finds more use in his life, and Marsden is moved, Clay is shocked.
Marsden tells him that if he thinks that is best, then he is at his beck and
call. Santos is outraged that his empire of mayhem has fallen, and that Jeremy
finds use for Marsden. He roars that Jeremy never even saw it coming, but
Jeremy sees how it is going to end as Clay grabs Santos from behind. Santos is
resolved to let Clay kill him, but Clay isn’t going to be the one to go it,
Elena is. Santos finds joy in it. He always wanted to put his hands on Elena,
but its her that is putting her hands on him. He overstepped wanting her, her
life, and her children. He tells her that they would have been perfect as she
grips his throat, telling her that she would have been the most important
member of their kind. Clay points out that she already is. Her future, her
everything was never his for the taking, and he tells her that she always had
his heart, and now she plans to break it. She grabs his heart in her hand and
crushes it. They all breathe a sigh of relief.
With the
house is a mess of carnage. Mutts dead all over in nearly every room of the
house, and still Williams has not been seen. Logan and Nick continue their
search of the woods looking for Rachel. Nick stops him. He doesn’t smell
anything, and that’s the problem. Nick wants to turn back, but Logan can’t
stop. He has to find her. When he finds her he plans to go off the grid. Nick
hugs him for what may be the last time, and Logan heads off to find his woman.
Nick turns back to the house.
Jeremy
carries Santos’ body from the living room, and Williams comes from upstairs.
The two come face to face, and its not a happy reunion. Jeremy drops the body,
and he’d hoped that the rumors of Malcolm’s death were true. Malcolm is on a
nostalgia tour, and he isn’t happy that his bedroom has been turned into
Jeremy’s craft space. Jeremy has always been such a serious child, and he
admits that he never wanted a son like him, had he not been hiding behind his
grandfather’s coattail, he’d have killed him years ago. So there goes his
father of the year award. At least with Santos, he listened. Jeremy is ready to
defend his alpha crown, but Malcolm doesn’t want it or even Stone Haven. He
wants Elena. Jeremy has let his affections get in the way of Elena’s full
potential, and Malcolm thinks he’s a fool. Jeremy warns that he’ll have to go
through him to get to her, and Malcolm is counting on it, telling him that he
hasn’t seen his best yet.
In Malcolm’s
car, the computer programmer, Nate Parker, sits. He tells Malcolm he didn’t
even have to go inside, that she came out to him. See Carl, again, stay in the
house! Malcolm introduces himself to Rachel, and asks if she liked his gift.
She sits as far from her kidnappers a possible, probably wanting to die of
fear, with no sexy Nick to save her this time.
Clay removes
the axe from the fallen wolf. Elena finds dog tags on another, and recognizes
the last name. She plans to tell his father of his son’s death, and blames
herself for what happened. She left the pack and her job keeping track of the
mutts, and the mutts capitalized on that. She plans to never let that happen
again, to team up with Clay and keep up the dossiers. Clay likes the sound of
that, but first Elena has something to do.
She heads
back to the house, to her room, and places Clay’s ring in her finger. She moves
to the mirror to admire the way it looks on her and spots something on her bed.
The entire episode the wolves’ sense of smell has absolutely sucked, really and
truly. She moves towards the bed and sees Philip’s head sitting there, and lets
out a banshee scream, and that is the end of the season, possibly series since
it has yet to be picked up by Space and Syfy.
