They looked like orange confetti, Zeus thought, with everyone wearing the Search and Rescue uniform-heavy neon orange canvas pants, orange T-shirts, black heavy-duty hiking boots, and small gray vest and packs with first aid gear and tools. “All right, team.” Matt clapped Sammy on the back. And if people thought the Mad Creek group was weird, Matt dealt with it somehow, keeping the secret of the quickened, well, secret. He was a full-blooded human, so he was less likely to get distracted by the job than the rest of them, and he knew just how to coordinate with the other human relief crews at a disaster site. You could see the pride behind it, wanting to break out.
He had his hands on his hips and was giving them all a stern look.
īut their team commander, Matt, didn’t release them just yet. His skin itched with the need to run, sniff, find. The team was eager to get moving, Zeus included. “Mine is on!” Sammy called out with barely suppressed excitement. Zeus knew his radio was on, but he obeyed Matt and checked it anyway, as did the other eight quickened in the Mad Creek Search and Rescue team. And make sure your radios are on so I can contact you. Remember: stay in your section and stay with your partner. He senses what Zeus feels for him… but it’s forbidden.Ĭan Mad Creek save this lost quickened clan? Perhaps-if they can learn how to run with the wolves.Īn Excerpt from How to Run With the Wolves Timo is shocked to discover a whole group of “two-skinned” working as a rescue team, and he is particularly fascinated by Zeus, a gentle giant. Not trusting the “one-skinned,” and with their numbers dwindling, the Qimmig are on the verge of extinction. Timo’s pack of dog shifters left their Inuit village generations ago and have lived wild ever since.
But the Qimmig pack’s laws are as harsh as the Alaskan winters, and Timo is out of his reach. Zeus falls hard for the primal beauty of Timo and of Alaska itself. When he sees a mysterious and wild-looking quickened-a dog shifter-at an earthquake site in Alaska, Zeus is compelled to investigate. Zeus loves his job on the Mad Creek Search & Rescue team, and his inner Saint Bernard is finally being used to his full potential.
