    About this ebook

    Derrick Starr is a sad excuse for a dominant werewolf. Unlike most werewolves, he’s sworn off meat and has an abnormal preference for sweets. He’s also in a bad state—his lover left him and he’s just learned that he has type 2 diabetes. An unexpected act of kindness triggers his meeting with Jack, a submissive wolf on the run from his abusive Alpha.

    When Derrick finds out that Jack is his fated mate, will he be able to do what it takes to protect and claim what’s rightfully his?

      The idea of a diabetic werewolf beta, who also happens to be just a tad overweight because he likes sweets, had me laughing out loud. And as I got into the story, my amusement at the very humorously written tale only increased. What a fun idea!

      Derrick is not exactly the "standard" werewolf. He doesn't like meat, prefers his food sweet and sugary, and is more than a little frustrated at his lack of fitting into the mold. What has him almost depressed is the fact he desperately wants a mate, but cannot imagine who would want him. Several exes have contributed to his lack of self-esteem, and his birth pack went as far as to banish him, but he doesn't let that get in the way of being an all-around nice guy. Helping out Jack when the man's life is threatened comes naturally to Derrick, and damn the consequences.

      Jack is an unusually submissive gamma who has been abused, is running from the alpha who mistreated him, and finds it hard to trust. Getting saved by Derrick surprises him, but the lack of overt dominance and meanness makes him suspicious. It takes him quite a while to learn to trust that Derrick really is just a nice guy.

      If you like unusual werewolf stories, if you enjoy lots of humor with your paranormal tales, and if you're looking for a fun, hot read, then you will probably like this short story.

    Chapter One

    It was the pain that woke Jack Lee up. Tendrils of it streaked from his bandaged left calf and up his thigh, making him whimper. The bandages were soaked and needed changing, but he couldn’t get up. Not yet at least. Not when there was something large and heavy lying on top of his chest and breathing down on him.

    Jack had no idea how he got his leg bitten—at least it felt like it was bitten. Heck, it felt like something with teeth had gnawed into it. He also had no idea why he was naked under the sheets and why there was a large, reddish dog lying on top of his chest either.

    What the hell happened to him last night? The more he racked at his brains, the more it hurt to think. He was supposed to catch the last train back to the Upper Cities, but he’d missed it for some reason. He was on his way to his motel to pick up his belongings, but he never made it there.

    Jack frowned and strained his neck to peer at the room. Clean royal blue wallpaper and wooden furniture. For some reason, the room smelled of chocolates, vanilla, and musk. The scattered candy wrappers explained the chocolate, but not the other two smells. Vanilla and musk were decidedly familiar smells, smells he could affectionately associate with a particular someone, but he couldn’t place who yet.

    Jack tried to sit up to have a better view of the room, but a deep rumble reminded him why he couldn’t. Get off me, you big— Jack began, not bothering to finish.

    His heart thudded painfully against his chest, and goose bumps broke across the surface of his skin. One quick look was enough to tell him that the beast on top of him wasn’t a dog. For one thing, it was bloody huge. The snout was long and slender, and probably hid razor sharp teeth. Everything about the animal’s large but graceful form screamed predator, as if it was specially built to take down large prey.

    Jack couldn’t breathe. This was no dog. It was a damn fine huge wolf, and he was certain it was no ordinary wolf either. The sight of the animal wrenched something awful inside him. Something that was hard to swallow—distant memories of pain, of always cowering and hiding in small corners, and of a handsome and leering face.

    Why couldn’t it be a simple dog? Why did it have to be his own kind? Looking at the werewolf in front of him, Jack realized that he could never be like this wolf. He was a submissive wolf and would always remain at the bottom of any pack hierarchy. He’d always amounted
