This is the story of Alpha Carson and his mate Katie. It is backstory for Alpha Aaron's parents as requested by one of my readers. (Alpha Aaron is seen in the books Alpha Lilly, Orphan Wolf, Raised by Wolves, Not The Alpha, and Brayden.) If you haven't read the other books I'll give you a heads up this story centers around an extremely abusive relationship. (Not a happy ending) Read at your own risk. Story excerpt "Hurry up, Katie! Time to shift." Zoey pushes me snapping me out of my daze. I quickly strip and shift shaking out my alburn fur. A dominant howl rings over us and we all join in the chorus. Alpha Carson takes off running followed closely by Beta James. The rest of the pack quickly joins them running past each other jumping around. Alot of adults acting like pups. I love it! My wolf is getting ancy. She wants me to take off full speed. She is howling for control. I concede to her desire somewhat and we take off dodging under the larger wolves. I am exceptionally small allowing me to slip between the massive warriors. Before I know it I am nearly in the front. Everyone knows never to pass out the Alpha... but apparently my wolf forgot this rule as she forces us ahead. Soon we are in the lead and pulling away from the pack. In an instant I feel hot breath on my back. Before I can register what is happening I am pinned under a large male wolf... the Alpha.
