Coyote's Call

Gideon's worst night ever starts out with a bang that will change his whole life. Gideon Wells has been cast out of his bear shifter clan for being a curse, and he's inclined to believe they're right. After all, everything from fertility rates to shifting abilities has gone down the tube since he was born. Then when his car catches fire and mutant scorpions-he thinks they're mutants, anyway-almost get him, he's more certain than ever that he's bad news. Not that he's just going to roll over and die. Ignoring a prophecy might not be wise, but coyote shifter Miller Hudson has seen and heard too many false prophecies to put any faith in the one proclaiming him to be the alpha and-along with a mystery bear mate-the savior of the now defunct coyote den he grew up in. Besides, there's no need for the den to be brought back together. None of them can shift, so what's the point? The buzzards circling overhead on the far edge of his property lead him to the very last thing he ever expected to find.
