Heart of the Beast
{final draft}
Sometimes the people you’re willing to die for, are the ones that kill you in the end.
People are disappearing. Gone into thin air. No one knows what’s become of them.
Jethro Milton is a soldier in training, living on a government military compound, but not just any soldier, a monster created to fight. He’s always wanted to make his country proud by fighting, or so he’s been told. When he meets Fawn, a girl whose love knows no measures – not even the marred appearance of a beast, the ice on his human heart begins to melt. New memories surface - music and laughter, things that never could be. But how can one remember something that’s never happened? As questions are raised about his life in the compound, Jeth must learn that pleasing people isn’t everything.
Collin Dean is the head of the compound, Jeth’s superior and mentor. When the one he thought he could trust turns out to be his worst enemy, can Jethro save the ones he loves and get out of the camp alive? Will he learn that pure love is unconditional?

And what of the innocent humans that come between the two sects of the were race? Will they remain living or will they be annihilated in order to strengthen the were bloodlines?
