Heart of the Wolf by Terry Spear

Heart of the Wolf:
Red werewolf Bella flees her adoptive pack of gray werewolves when the alpha male Volan tries forcibly to claim her as his mate. Her real love, beta male Devlyn, has been out of her life for years, but comes after her when she finds herself accidentally captured by humans. Bella becomes convinced that Devlyn only wants to return her to Volan, but soon realizes that Devlyn loves her as much as she loves him, and is willing to fight Volan to the death to claim her. That problem pales, however, as a pack of red werewolves takes to killing human females in a crazed quest to claim Bella for their own. Bella and Devlyn must defeat the rogue wolves before Devlyn's final confrontation with Volan.

I have absolutely fallen in love with Terry's wolves! I love how she gave her wolves lupus garou characteristics, and their strong qualities of love and desire make her characters come to life on the pages. The love story she has written is balanced perfectly with the mystery and action. The world of the lupus garou seems almost tangible through Terry's strong voice, the book is filled with sensuality, humor, when Bella is accidentally tranquilized while she is out running in the woods and taken to the zoo...and a bond of love that can never be broken.

This is only the first of many in Terry's lupus garou books and I can't wait to read more!
