As a runt, Jade didn't think she'd ever find a pack willing to accept her, even though she has gained an impressive set of skills while surviving in No Man's land. A chance encounter provides the opportunity to prove her worth, but when she arrives, against all odds, she picks up an irresistible scent. Her soulmate. Standing at a crossroads, she must decide if she's willing to grasp at her chance of unconditional love-and risk the heart-rending pain of rejection. As a runt, the odds are not in her favor. -------- On a side note: None of the main characters are mated to an Alpha. No character has 'exclusive' abilities or powers. ----- Excerpt: My steps faltered as I noticed that two of the pursuing wolves had sped ahead and were waiting to intercept me. I launched toward a tree and ricocheted off at a ninety-degree angle without slowing down. One of the wolves behind quickly followed and began closing in. I started to panic, looking around frantically for a way to escape. I saw a rabbit burrow under a small bramble bush and desperately raced towards it. I darted under the edge of the plant and heard the tan wolf go around as he expected me to come out the other side. It gave me the precious seconds I needed to squeeze down the tunnel. My relief was short-lived - the rabbit that dug this burrow had not survived long enough to finish it. The tunnel was only about twice as long as the average human arm, and I could clearly see the entrance. I sent a silent prayer that the bramble bush would deter them and that they would not realize just how shallow this burrow was. I waited anxiously.

Full edition of flash short The Proposal. Chapters marked by a * are those edited from the rough draft version as of 1-27-23 Flighty, sweet, naïve Hattie Foster is engaged to the country vicar, Jonathon Forsythe. What could possibly go wrong? ~ The object of Hattie's attention stood quietly at his study window, staring dismally at the green pastureland beyond the small vineyard attached to his property. Normally a picture of quiet refinement, his features were set in a faint scowl, lines marring the skin between his brows. The gentleman sitting in a high back chair behind him was equally somber. "How soon?" "It's hard to say, Jon. With things like these..." the smooth voice left off with a shrug. Lips thinning into a hard line, the vicar turned. "Hard to say? My future hangs by fraying strings, and you say, 'hard to say'?" ~
