    About this ebook

    As a submissive wolf-shifter, Kelsey Yates has always bowed to the dictates of her powerful alpha wolf parents. That changed when she met Rue, a powerful alpha in her own right, despite the fact that she is human. When Kelsey’s parents learn of the forbidden relationship, they set out to put a stop to it. For once in her life, will Kelsey push beyond the boundaries of her omega status and fight for her happiness and her human mate?
    "Nature of the Pack" is a short story that goes with the paranormal romance novel True Nature.

      Author’s Note

      Nature of the Pack takes place after the last chapter but before the epilogue of my novel True Nature. Rue and Kelsey had a moment to catch their breath after the rollercoaster of events in True Nature, but now they’re facing new challenges. I hope you enjoy sharing their adventures.

      Nature of the Pack

      Put your hand here, Kelsey said. She leaned closer to Rue on the couch, took Rue’s hand, and guided it. Rue’s calluses tickled Kelsey’s skin, sending shivers through her body.

      Like this? Rue asked.

      A little more. Yes, yes, that’s good. Now move your fingers in a circle. Yes, exactly like that. The feeling of being watched made Kelsey look up.

      Their Saru guard, Zoe, peeked over from the kitchen and stared at them, her face a bright red.

      Danny glanced up from his PSP game too. He looked at Zoe and then to Kelsey’s hands, which guided Rue’s to form the right hand shape.

      So that’s the sign for shape-shifter? Rue asked.

      Exactly. And this means wolf-shifter. Kelsey combined the sign for wolf with the one for shape-shifting.

      Zoe hurried away.

      What’s going on with her? Rue glanced at the Saru’s retreating back. She looked flustered.

      Danny grinned and signed, She thought you two were using your hands for something more fun than signing.

      Heat rushed up Kelsey’s neck and made the tips of her ears burn as she realized how her sign language instructions must have sounded to the Saru.

      The devilish sparkle in Danny’s eyes reminded her of Garrick. At fourteen, her brother had constantly played pranks on the other pack members. Just a few years later, he had become a responsible second-in-command. She hoped Danny would find his place in the pack too—even if it was a rather unusual pack.

      Rue shook her head. You know, you Wrasa have dirty minds.

      Us? Kelsey and Danny exchanged a glance.

      The doorbell shattered the silence. Lights flashed.

      Saved by the bell, Kelsey signed to Danny.

      I’ll get it, Zoe shouted.

      Since their return to Clearfield two months ago, the Saru had isolated them from the rest of the world. Most of the time, Kelsey was secretly grateful. After she had outed the Wrasa to the human public, every stranger—Wrasa and human alike—felt like a possible threat to Kelsey.

      Zoe’s steps stopped in the foyer, and then Kelsey heard her
