Destiny of the Wolf (Silver Town Wolf Book 1) Kindle Edition
10th Anniversary Edition of the book that launched Terry Spear's immensely popular Silver Town Wolf series, with brand new bonus content including a novella and research notes from the author.
This Red Wolf needs answers, and she won't let anyone stand in her way…
Fleeing from her red werewolf pack, Lelandi Wildhaven arrives in Silver Town to find out what happened to her sister. But some of the Silver Wolves don't believe her or her motives—instead insisting she's there to make a bid for the gray alpha leader's heart—and they'll do whatever it takes to protect their home.
Pack leader Darien Silver can't help feeling the pain of the past, especially when Lelandi shows up, like a ghost from his memories. When someone tries to silence her, he must accept that things aren't all they seem under his watch—and that this enchanting red wolf might have a place here after all…

Excerpt from Chapter 1 of Destiny of the Wolf
Why had Larissa, her loving sister, ended up dead here, of all the godforsaken places in the States? Maybe that was the reason off the beaten path, surrounded by wilderness, a place to hide from the harsh realities of the forced marriage, safe from Bruin's retaliation should he ever have located her. But she hadn't been safe. And now she was dead.
Out of the corner of her eye, Lelandi Wildhaven thought she saw her cousin, Ural, slink into the woods in his wolf form, but she had to be mistaken. He wouldn't be angry enough with her to shapeshift this close to Silver Town and risk alerting the gray lupus garou pack that a couple of reds had slipped into their territory.
Ignoring her gut instinct telling her this was a very bad idea, she pushed open the Silver Town Tavern's heavy door, the squealing of the rusty hinges jarring her taut nerves.
Five bearded men sitting at a table turned to stare at her, and at once she feared the worst they saw straight through her disguise.
She shoved the faux eyeglasses back into place, hating the way they kept sliding down the bridge of her nose. The weather-beaten cowboy hat she'd picked up at a resale shop half swallowed her head, making her look like a little kid wearing her dad's Stetson. Amber glass lights hanging from brass rods high above softly illuminated dark oak tables and a long, polished bar. Slow-spinning wooden fan blades circulated the air, impregnated with the smell of gray lupus garou. Her nerve endings prickled with fresh awareness. Dingy antique mirrors covering the back wall behind the bar bore mute witness to the goings-on in the place, as she suspected they had for decades. If they had captured all the images of the bar's existence what a story those mirrors could tell.
Another bearded man crouching beneath the lip of the bar suddenly stood to his full six-foot-four height. The glass and dish towel he held nearly slipped from his grasp as his appraising glance took in every inch of her. His lips turned up at the corners slightly. Deep laugh lines were etched in his tanned skin and shaggy black hair extended to his shoulders, giving him the appearance of a rugged mountain man, unused to civilized trappings. What disturbed her most was that he was a gray, like the men drinking at the table. She'd anticipated it would be a human-run establishment frequented by lupus garous, like the bar back home.
"What'll you have, miss?" he asked, his voice warm and welcoming.
Expecting a chilly greeting their kind didn't welcome strangers venturing into their midst, especially if she were human and this was an exclusively gray lupus garou tavern she hesitated.
"Miss?"
"Bottled water, please." She'd meant to sound tough, to match the look of the place. She'd intended to be someone different, with her red hair dyed black and the high-heeled boots giving the impression she stood taller, more like them. The blue contacts she wore hid her green eyes sufficiently, but she still felt like Lelandi, triplet to Larissa, with barely any visible difference in appearance, except her eyes were greener and her hair more red and less golden than her sister's had been. Had her voice betrayed her?
The small smile on the bartender's face was more likely because she was a stranger who'd walked into a wolves' den without protection than because she'd given herself away. She cursed herself for not disguising her voice better, but the barkeep's warm demeanor gave her a false sense of security, which could be the death of her if she wasn't careful.
The bartender handed her a chilled bottle of water and tall green glass. "New in town?"
"Just passing through," she said, paying for the water.
"Sam's the name, miss. If you need anything, just holler."
"Thanks." Hollering for a drink was definitely not her style.
She chose a table in the farthermost corner of the room, half-hidden in shadows. Although any of them could see in the dark as well as she could, this location would keep her out of the main flow of traffic. She hoped she'd seem inconspicuous, not worthy of anyone's scrutiny, and most of all, human.
Lelandi glanced at the door. According to her information, Darien Silver Larissa's widowed mate should be here soon.
One of the men got up from his seat and gave Sam some cash. The man cast Lelandi a hint of a smile, then returned to his chair. Small for a gray, stocky, hair a bland brown, eyes amber, his clothes carrying a coating of dust, he had a soft, round baby face. Looked sweet, a beta-wolf type. Smudges of dirt colored his cheeks, and he wiped them off with the back of his denim shirtsleeve. His eyes never straying from her, he smoothed out his raggedy hair and took another swig of his beer.
Sam joined Lelandi and handed her the cash. "Joe Kelly paid for your drink, miss. He works at the silver mine, which explains his slightly rough appearance. But he cleans up good." Sam gave her a wink, and returned to the bar.
Should she turn down Joe's offer? On the other hand, if he was interested in her, maybe she could discover the truth quicker.
"Thank you," she mouthed to Joe Kelly and his chest swelled.
The other guys started ribbing him in low voices. The tips of Joe's ears turned crimson.
Her stomach clenched with the notion that Larissa had had the audacity to mate with a gray, especially when she had a mate already. She'd said she wanted to find herself,
and she did. Six feet under. Yet, Lelandi couldn't help feeling it was her own fault, that if she'd taken Larissa's place back home, or even run away with her, she might have kept her safe. But what about their parents? She couldn't have left them behind not with her dad so incapacitated but hell, she hadn't been able to protect them either. They had been murdered anyway.
She tamped down a shudder, hating that she hadn't stopped any of it. But once she learned what had happened to Larissa and put the murderer in his grave, Lelandi was going to locate her brother and their uncle damn both of them for leaving the family behind.

About the author

USA TODAY bestselling, and award-winning author and creator of award-winning teddy bears who have found homes all over the world including Australia, Switzerland, China, and Russia, and a retired officer of the US Army Reserves, I love to plant trees and flowers and if I could, I'd turn all the deserts green. Time travels are my favorite read, although I love to read most anything, and the Bourne series, Romancing the Stone, Sixth Sense, Legend, The Princess Bride, Stardust, Inkheart, LOTR, and tons of other movies are my favorites.
I love to research, to make urban fantasy worlds real, to bring a little of the paranormal into our world. Even in "Winning the Highlander's Heart" the heroine feels she is cursed and she has second sight. But I try to do it in a way that feels real, and not fantasized. :)

- Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2024The book was in really good the time to write thank you on the outside of the package which I thought was really sweet.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018Darrien Silver the oldest of gray werewolf male triplets who dream mated Lelandi (a triplet herself, two female and one male) but when he meets her things are not quite right. Then she dies pregnant with triplets, suicide they tell Darrien who is pack leader and he blames himself. Then a girl comes into town who keeps saying Larissa when someone says Lelandi. This leads to the grays wondering if something more then being shot is wrong with the little red wolf, while she wonders why they can't remember her dead sister and their pack leader's dead mate's name and calling Larissa "Lelandi" which is her name. This is one very mixed up but oh so good story. Then two red werewolf packs come to the gray pack's town claiming pack rights to Lelandi (who is now mates herself)and Darien isn't giving her up. Only one would have really had a claim if she wasn't mates and her brother ends up telling Darien you are lucky you had brothers girls are a lot of trouble. You have different packs (grays and reds), two sets of triplets , and the dead girl was pregnant with triplets and now a young woman who has been changed to a werewolf and has premiums that now says the others sister is going to have triplets .I loved this book.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2016This was a sexy romance, I would have liked Lelandi to be a bit stronger heroine since she is an alpha bitch but considering all that she was going through I think I can over look some of her weaknesses. I liked the the strength and sexiness of the pack and there was plenty of suspense and action to keep the story flowing. This was the first book I have read in this series but I plan to go and read the first book. It was a good enough read to keep me reading until 6am.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017This story is even better than the first in the series! There are so many twists, turn,s and surprises that just when I thought I had things figured out, I was wrong! This can be read and enjoyed as a stand alone, because there is only a small reference to happenings in the first book. Each book contains a HEA for the main characters and there isn't a cliff hanger ending. I love the world that the author has created and I can't wait for the next book! This is a wonderful paranormal romance and if you haven't read a story by this author, you really should give her a try.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2021Love all of Terry Spear books i’ve read so far . Can’t wait to read the next one ! Was looking for a new author and she’s proven to be a great one.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020I enjoy this author but this story just didn't do it for me. I think if it was about 150 pages less it would have been better.
I didn't feel a connection to the H/h at all, lacked romance and passion. Oh, they have SEX often, but wasn't lovemaking.
Some interesting secondary character's, helped the story. There is some suspense, many villains to choose from and a few twists.
No cheating for our H/h, no cliffhanger, HEA, no romance for me and plenty of steam. (ljb)
- Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2019Thoroughly enjoyed reading Lelandi & Darien's story very much. I love reading a happy ever after story it makes my day. Also love Carmela & Michael's story. Eagerly waiting for the next book in this series. Thank you for writing these stories.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2022Larissa is dead ... The author kept getting their names messed up. I had to keep going back to keep them straight. Don't know how much longer I can read this book! Larissa is dead, Lelandi is the one in the hospital ... More to come.

4.0 out of 5 stars loved book 2 of the Lupus Garou!!
"Destiny of the Wolf" is the second book in the "Heart of the wolf" series by Terry spear.
the is an urban fantasy series about werewolves or as they are known in these books 'lupus garou'.
i really enjoyed this book,even more so than the first book in the series which i found slightly lacking in places.i tried this second book as in my opinion many series start weaker and then improve.this book was by far no exception.
synopsis: Lelandi Wildhaven is determined to discover the truth about her sister's mysterious death.but everyone thinks she's out to make a bid for her sister's widowed mate.Darien Silver blames himself for his mates death.when her twin arrives in his town,he finds himself bewitched,and when someone attempts to silence her,he realizes that protecting the beautiful stranger might be the only way to protect his pack...and himself..
i was unsure at first if i would like this book,as the idea of a man having a intimate relationship with sisters does not really appeal to me,even if one has died.however,any preconceived ideas i may have had were quickly eradicated as i read this book.Though Darien had a relationship with Lelandi's sister Larissa before her death,the relationship between the two lead characters is different,and there is not constant reminders or talk about the day to day and sexual nature of Darien's prior relationship,allowing the leads to forge a relationship of there own,whilst being united in the fight to find a killer.
we are introduced to several secondary characters (which i am sure will have their own stories)who are interesting and help provide a solid understanding of what 'lupus garou' and pack life is all about,without giving long winded explanations.the plot is well paced and lively.the love scenes are sensual even if somewhat predictable.my only negative thoughts on this book is that sometimes i felt more description could have been given.this book could definately,in my opinion, have been longer,without being long winded as the characters were facinating and the plot,would have supported a longer story.however,this criticism could be based on the fact that i was enjoying this book so much that i did not want it to end!nevertheless the book is a good sized paperback and a throughly enjoyable read!!
i have already ordered several books in this series!
