FIGHTING FIRE WITH... FANGSWhen I was rejected two years ago, my pack began hunting for me. Better dead than rejected,  they said. The Outcast Pack gave me a home and kept me hidden from them, and I got comfortable. Too comfortable. My pack's hunters have closed in on me. Now the only way I can survive is by taking a mate, and then watching said mate pass my pack's challenges. That's their way of proving to them that he belongs in the pack, and that I'm more than the worthless rejected female they see me as. My friend Bash volunteers to be my mate, in name and deed only... but our feelings for each other are bigger than either of us will admit. *This new-adult novella is a standalone romance.
