Samantha plans on killing the beast, or die trying. This time, Samantha has no choice. She is the beast&rsquo;s next target.</p>

Now he must protect his brothers and grandparents, and Samantha as well. Yet, not only has the beast returned, but so has the legendary white wolf, <em>The Ghost</em>. Together, with his family and <em>The Ghost</em>, Thorne prays he can keep Samantha safe and rid the world of the beast that could destroy them all. But for Thorne, time is running out. Like Samantha, he too has become the target of the beast.</p>
