Karen was a disgrace to her pack. Every steadfast rule that her pack held dear, she insisted on breaking in an attempt to free herself from the bonds of a lineage that had been slowly dying out for centuries. Her brother, the alpha of the Needham pack, was having none of that, though.
Desperate to restore the order of his pack and strengthen their bond to the wolf, he sent Karen away to Sky High Ranch, home of the regional alpha. His hope was for Karen to get the reform that she needed to become a respectable member of the pack.
When Karen arrives, she is surprised to find that Sky High Ranch is run more like a college than a rehab facility or political centerpiece. Nothing is as it seems there, including Carter, the regional Alpha. What Karen thought would be a month spent in boring therapy sessions ends up being a night she'll never forget. Carter's wolf is strong, and he's hungry for her.
This is a short story, does not end in a cliffhanger, and can be read as a standalone.
