Hooded

He might be a wolf in disguise.

Ever since the world fell apart a year ago, I've been doing whatever I can to survive, serving food at a trading post in the flooded hills of eastern Virginia and sometimes taking men to my room upstairs.

They have to pay, of course.

Cade stops by every few weeks. He's gruff and quiet and not looking for friends, but he always treats me okay. I don't mind having him as a customer. I actually start to like him, which is the last thing I expect in the hellish place the world has become. But Cade isn't the harmless loner he's been pretending to be, and his secrets could drag me into danger.

I thought he was just a regular guy, but all this time he's been hiding a wolf.
