Paige Tyler | Secrets from COMPANY OF WOLVES
December 3, 2015
What was your favorite part about writing IN THE COMPANY OF WOLVES?
Why?
In the first two books of the SWAT Series (HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF and WOLF TROUBLE) the stories
revolve around the two most senior members of the Dallas Police Department SWAT
team (SWAT Commander Sergeant Gage Dixon and squad leader Senior Corporal
Xander). IN THE COMPANY OF
WOLVES is SWAT Officer Eric Becker’s story. Becker is one of the younger
guys in the Pack of alpha werewolves and he’s only been a werewolf for about two
years compared to Gage who’s been a werewolf for fourteen years and Xander who
went through his change eight years ago. The idea of being able to approach the
story from a completely different direction really appealed to me.
Now if the fact that he’s simply a “newer” werewolf was the only aspect of
Becker’s personality I was dealing with during the story, the book probably
wouldn’t have turned out the way it did. But if you’ve been paying attention to
Becker in the first two books in the series, you might have noticed that he has
a somewhat casual outlook on things like rules and pack authority. Plus, he’s in
a place in his life where he’s completely ready to meet The One for
him—that one woman out there each werewolf is fated to be with.
Put all this together and you can probably guess that Becker is a young
werewolf just looking to get himself into trouble. And when he meets the heroine
Jayna Winston in the most insane “meet cute” situation ever, even I was shocked
at the things he does! Once he thinks he’s met The One, it’s like his
head just left the building. As you can imagine, Gage gets completely pissed.
There was a time about halfway through the story when I wasn’t sure who was
going to hurt Becker more—the bad guys or Gage!
Beyond Becker and his youthful adventures, another thing I loved about
writing IN THE COMPANY OF
WOLVES is the chance to develop my particular werewolf mythology a bit more.
Not to give anything away, but you’ve had two books to see how alpha wolves
behave, and now it’s time to introduce you to the other kinds of werewolves out
there. The stuff the reader learns about in this book make for a load of fun,
with all kinds of twists and turns. I promise you one thing for sure, I think
everyone out there will lose their minds as they start realizing where this
series is going!

He opened his mouth to order her to drop the MP5 she had aimed at him,
but nothing would come out. It was like she’d robbed him of the ability to
speak. Shooting her wasn’t an option, though. And the idea of arresting her
didn’t make him feel any better.
There's a new gang of criminals in town who are organized and ruthless in the
extreme. When Eric Becker, along with the rest of the Dallas SWAT team, ends up
in the middle of a shootout, he immediately senses werewolves-a lot of them.
Turns out, the new bad guys are a pack of wolf shifters.
In a spray of gunfire, Becker comes face-to-face with the most gorgeous woman
he's ever seen. Becker does the logical thing. He hides her and leaves the scene
with the rest of his team.
Jayna Winston has no idea why that SWAT guy helped her, but she's glad he
did. Ever since she and her pack mates got mixed up with those Eastern European
mobsters, everything had pretty much fallen apart.
So what's a street-savvy thief like Jayna going to do with a hot
alpha-male wolf who's a police officer?

Re: Paige Tyler | Secrets from COMPANY OF WOLVES
He needs to be trained/mentored by the older wolves. Thanks. (Jana B 7:03pm December 3, 2015)
I think they would make him do things that he might think where dumb but really teaching him. (Jennifer Beck 7:12pm December 3, 2015)
He's probably go through a lot of bullying or tough love so he'd grow into his alpha male role of being able to protect others and fending well for himself... maybe? (Lisa L. 7:54pm December 3, 2015)
Learn from his mistakes... grow as an individual to shine when the time is right. (Colleen Conklin 8:14pm December 3, 2015)
He would need to overstep boundaries or make errors of judgement in his youthful irreverence. Then he would need help getting out of trouble. (G. Bisbjerg 1:02am December 4, 2015)
Fall for him. (Marissa Yip-Young 6:11am December 4, 2015)
Listen and watch from the older and wiser and learn from mistakes that he makes . (Joan Thrasher 12:58pm December 4, 2015)
Tough love would probably work, but a strong guiding hand might be better. (Sandy Haber 4:15pm December 4, 2015)
He might face challenges from the older ones or be less listened to in matters of decisions made. Thanks for the contests (Gloria Vigil 11:10pm December 4, 2015)
Have enough confidence in himself and what he wants to become to get him through the teasing, training, and emotions (Brenda Rumsey 8:54am December 5, 2015)
I think he should keep his mouth shut and his eyes and ears open and learn as much as he can. (Janie McGaugh 12:44pm December 6, 2015)
Needs to be alone alot. (Emily Stemp 11:32am December 6, 2015)
Usually, they feel the need to prove themselves to the others to assert that they're part of the team and deserve to be there! (Nicole Potter 8:03pm December 6, 2015)
Train, jump and Love!!! (Sharon Sommer 8:17pm December 6, 2015)
he probably gets all the chores and also a lot of tough training (Diane Sallans 12:51pm December 7, 2015)
He has to learn and go through rites of passage the same as other. (Nadine Stacy 1:39pm December 7, 2015)
He'd have to undergo something similar to fraternity hazing from his peers and lengthy period of mentoring and training from the elders. Probably something like growing up in ancient Sparta. (Irene Menge 3:19pm December 7, 2015)
Be trained (Emily Stemp 9:57am December 8, 2015)
Face challenges and take risks - as well as lots of mentoring and running the gauntlet, as it were - rites of passage, as mentioned by other readers. (Felicia Ciaudelli 10:42am December 8, 2015)
I think there would be a lot of joking going on, pranks, plus the need to prove himself to the alpha wolves. So there would be a lot of mistakes to learn from but also parts where he could prove himself. (Jeannie Platt 12:23pm December 8, 2015)
I am sure there would be hazing at the very least and depending on the older ones, there could be some macho posturing and/or fighting to prove superiority. (Shirley Cochran 2:55pm December 8, 2015)
would have to be one heck of a fighter and wise. (Angela Parrish 3:11pm December 8, 2015)
Hmmm... #1. The ability to endure good-natured ribbing by the older- wiser wolves. #2. Share a 6 pack with "the pack" and remain standing. #3. Prove he can shift faster than those older-wiser wolves. #4. Show them he can: get the girl! Ha-ha. (Susan S 9:06pm December 8, 2015)
