Bitten

After a year in Toronto, Elena Michaels has carved out a dream gig as a freelance photographer and is in a fiery romance with sexy, smart ad exec Philip McAdams. There’s just one problem: Elena is the only female werewolf in known existence, and has managed to keep that secret from the man she loves.

Now in Stonehaven, Elena works with the Pack to determine which werewolf is responsible for the murder, while keeping her distance from Clay. She’s anxious to track the Mutt and return to Toronto where Philip has just landed a new ad campaign from James Williams.

Tensions at Stonehaven flare when a pack of hunters, on a search for the killer wolf, come upon the dead body before the Pack has a chance to deal with it.To distract the hunters, Elena spooks their dog with a look –it lunges at her, tearing into her arm. Clay worsens the situation when he hurls the dog to the ground. Tempers flare and the dog’s owner, Braxton, vows he will make Clay pay.

Elena and Logan return to Stonehaven for Pete’s funeral. But Pete’s death isn’t the only burning issue –Pete wasn’t killed by the rave Mutt; there’s another murderous werewolf at play! Jeremy sends Clay and Elena into Bear Valley to track the Mutt who killed Pete. The scent leads them to the Bear Valley Motel, where they locate the room where Pete’s murderer has been shacking up, along with his photo album of trophy kills. They realize someone is turning psychotic killers into werewolves and turning them loose on the Pack. But why?

When Sheriff Morgan discovers Michael Braxton’s abandoned truck at the edge of Stonehaven property, all eyes turn to the Danvers family,and all suspicion turns to Clay, specifically. Jeremy offers to involve the family in a search party sweep of the territory, but when the locals (including Braxton’s hunting buddies) cry fowl about Clay’s involvement, only Nick and Elena are sent out to help find Braxton.

Back in Toronto for Becky’s wedding, Elena swears she catches a glimpse of Santos on the street.... is he stalking her?? To allay Philip’s concern over her shift in mood, Elena reveals a bit of her history of sexual abuse in the foster care system, telling Philip the “ghost” she saw in the crowd was a foster brother named Jason.

Daniel Santos, having now stepped out of the shadows as the leader of the Mutt uprising, requests a meet with the Pack to discuss a potential truce. The Pack sees this as a perfect opportunity to set a trap for their enemies and end the uprising once and for all.

While Nick takes on the gut-wrenching task of erasing Antonio’s existence in the human world, and Jeremy is sidelined by with a strange poison, Elena and Clay are left alone to deal with the Mutt situation in Bear Valley.

The Pack comes together to take on the notorious ex-Pack enforcer, Jimmy Koenig, who has been hired by Santos to kill them. As they move to intercept Koenig in a derelict factory, Clay and Elena must find a way to bridge the emotional gap between them over residual resentment about the bite.

Elena returns to Toronto for her photography show with Clay at her side as protection (by Jeremy’s orders). She is surprised by Philip, who knows her relationship with Clay is deeper than she’s confessed in the past –curious to get to the bottom of it, Philip insists Clay stay with them at the apartment. As the two men sniff each other out, each with their own agenda, Elena tries to prevent her two worlds from colliding.

Elena and Clay are holed up in Philip’s apartment while Elena attempts damage control with Philip. Philip is now aware of their past as lovers, but there’s something he doesn’t know (above and beyond the fact that they are werewolves)...she explains that their lives are in danger, feigning that she and Clay are part of a crime family at war.

Devastated by Clay’s capture, Elena returns to Stonehaven, where she gets “the call” from Santos. He instructs her to meet with him...alone or Clay dies. As Elena attempts to persuade Jeremy to let her meet with Santos, Logan’s car pulls into the Stonehaven driveway...with Rachel at the driver’s seat and a severely injured Logan in the back. Jeremy jumps into ER mode to save Logan’s life while Nick calms Rachel’s frayed nerves about the “family business.”

Aware that the Mutts are recruiting an army, the Pack prepares to take the fight to them –with Elena’s cell phone stashed in the back of Santos’s car, they can track the Mutts to their every location and strike when the time is right. But the Pack is trying to buy time so Clay can heal –the torture in the barn took its toll. Elena helps Clay recover in the infirmary, comforting him with the knowledge that she now knows the truth as to why he bit her.
