An urban fantasy novella from USA Today bestselling author Eileen Wilks’s world of the lupi, where the darkest magic will leave its mark... FBI Agent Lily Yu is turning twenty-nine—a milestone she’s decidedly ambivalent about. But her birthday celebration is cut short when the naked, heavily tattooed body of a man is found in a Northern California town. The victim was David Pruitt, and years ago, he was close friends with Rule Turner, prince of the lupi. At first it seems like a bizarre ritual killing, but there’s more than magic afoot: David wasn’t human. And the killer isn’t finished... Human Nature originally appeared in the anthology Inked .
