The Jaguar Tycoon (Tales of the Were: Jaguar Island #1)

Prologue

The gunman jumped up from his seat at one of the many dinner tables in the elegant hall and began firing.

Mark ducked, even as he felt the near miss of a bullet go whizzing past his head.

He narrowed his eyes, looking toward his security team.

He’d jump in if he had to, but in such a public setting, he really had to at least pretend to be human.

He scrambled off the podium, surrounded by a few of his people, allowing himself to be whisked away into an anteroom while others dealt with the threat. He didn’t like it. His inner predator longed to go take a bite out of the jackass that dared attack him and put others in danger.

But he couldn’t do that. Not here, in such a public place. Not with so many witnesses.

In private, though… There, he could be the Alpha he truly was. And heaven help the bastard who had just tried to shoot him.
