Anna Craig - Surrendered To The Pack (Wicked Wolf Shifters #1)
This is a CLIFFHANGER short novella that is part of a serial. This is NOT a full-length book.
Cassandra Wakefield's life is about to change. College student and regular girl, she also comes from an isolated mountain town that for centuries has been under the thrall of a very wicked pack of wolf shifters. If the insatiably hungry shifters don't get their annual female sacrifice, all hell will break loose on the town. This year, Cassie lost the draw. She's about to face down a magnificent pack of sexy alpha men. Despite her nervousness, she's undeniably intrigued... and deeply aroused. Steely-eyed yet magnetic alpha Trevor, outrageously hot, flirtatious Mac, and drop-dead gorgeous Finn, who has headlined her most secret fantasies for years now, await her.
Pack Alpha Trevor Reginald doesn't do three things: drama, hysterics, or emotions. Pack dynamics are for drama, town surrenders tend to get annoyingly hysterical, and emotions - well, emotions are useless things for which Trevor reserves no time. He's here with his packmates for one reason only: to take the surrender's virginity and thus ensure his pack's continued healthy existence. But bringing the lovely Cassandra into the Wicked Mountain Wolf Pack stirs something in Trevor he hasn't felt in years. Something he will fight tooth and claw to resist before it overwhelms his reason and his very way of life...
Because Cassie and all the wolf shifters are in for a huge surprise - one that Cassie might not survive after she is surrendered to the pack.
