The Royal Wolves 5
Reaching for My Angel
Quiet, laid-back, and the easiest going of all his siblings, Benedek Farkas prefers his books to people. A collector of old and a reader of new, he is well read and well educated, but nothing could have prepared him for her to enter his life. Who knew that she would be the paradox of his existence or that she would be the savior of his soul?
Evangeline “Evan” Farmer's life was not what one would call normal or what any woman would ever dream of when she enters into a relationship till death do they part. But time can change anyone, and for some it only makes them less than what they should have been. Free at last, she roams the country, the open road her world. But a small lapse in memory brings her a whole new set of problems or the way to finally and truly be free. Can she take the chance and open up to him? Can she let him in where no man has ever really been?
The demons of the past haunt her daily, each movement, each breath, and every waking moment. Together they will fight them for a chance at happiness and a life together. Her heart is the carefully guarded jewel that he seeks. And, for a moment of bliss, he'll sweep her off her feet into the romance of her life...

Prologue
Early Spring 1819 - 5 months after death of the Royal family
Handing the cup of water to his brother Laszlo, Benedek frowned slightly at his distracted manner. Stepping away he moved to the oldest of them all and nudged him lightly with his elbow. “What’s bothering Miklos?” he asked in a low tone. Ever since they had settled in northern England near the Scottish border, Miklos had been closing himself off. He only spoke when spoken to and rarely if ever smiled any more.
Shaking his head Laszlo’s eyes turned on their middle brother. “I don’t know. He’s been becoming more distant with every day, Benedek, I’m worried about him.”
“Do you think he’s finally in mourning?” Benedek asked softly. All the rest of them had gone through their periods of anger, fear and sadness over the loss of their parents while Miklos had seemed to just continue along in a haze for a time before the slow shut down.
“Maybe,” Laszlo conceded though if it was mourning he thought, it wasn’t the healing kind. “Keep an eye on him Benedek. He’s more likely to talk to you than me as it is. See if you can’t help him through whatever is pulling him down and from us. I won’t lose another member of our family, especially one of my brothers,” the pre-teen boy said in a voice that had the authority of a fully mature adult.
“I’ll try,” Benedek told him softly. Turning his eyes back to his brother Benedek worried for him. He was too pale, too thin, and he wasn’t sleeping as he should. Maybe a run in the woods in his other form would help and he decided in that moment it would. Just before full night set, he’d take Miklos out to see if that helped at all.
Chapter 1
Here and now…
Rubbing a hand over his face, Ben drove slowly through the little town of North Lynbrook, just north of New York City. Thankfully it was early still, pre-dawn as a matter of fact, so there really was no one but him, the paper boy, and a few early risers out and about. Last night had been another restless and nearly sleepless night. While he knew the reason for his restless nights, he couldn’t really place the blame there as it wasn’t truly fair. Course, his mind didn’t care if it was fair or not, it just was what it was and screw the distinction.
Yawning as he passed the local diner with its lights blazing he was tempted, for a moment, to stop for a refill on his coffee. If it hadn’t been hunting season he would have, but with that many bloodthirsty humans armed with high caliber weapons in there, he really wouldn’t be comfortable. So, with a hint of regret, he kept on driving and made a note to stop on the way back out of town to the city.
Once more, now that the thought of fresh and strong caffeine passed, his mind returned to the reason for his sleepless night. Not even the dulcet tones of Faith Hill coming through the speakers could truly distract him from where his mind was determined to lead.
Three of his brothers had found their mates. It likely would have been all four, he speculated with a hint of dry humor, except that Kris, the only other of the Farkas’ who hadn’t found a mate, couldn’t be bothered right then. The true “geek” of the family, Kris was once again closeted away in his lab working on a cure for something or other and wouldn’t surface until it kicked his ass and he needed a break to see straight again or until he kicked its little ass
if it had one
