Book excerpt: Jessamyn Gerrick has never really felt like part of the wolf pack her family belongs to because she’s unable to shift into her wolf form. The guys in her pack all look at her as if she’s not worth having for a mate, and her self-esteem is at an all-time low when she makes plans to go to a pack gathering. She sees a notice online for a gathering, run by a hyena clan in Pennsylvania, for all unmated shifters. Her parents aren’t fans of hyenas, thanks to a situation involving her mother, so Jessi decides to go to the Pennsylvania gathering instead and keep it a secret. Hyena brothers Gavin, Rubin, and Jett Stone have been looking for their truemate for years, traveling to different hyena gatherings in hopes of finding the one female on the planet meant to be theirs. When they attend a gathering in Pennsylvania, they finally find her in the beautiful Jessi. There’s only one problem: her parents don’t trust hyenas and have bad history with their fathers. While Jessi is happy to be their mate, the bad blood between her parents and theirs is enough to derail even the strongest mating. As the quartet navigates their new relationship and family pressures, a deadly threat rises up in the pack that could change the course of their lives forever. When a cherished family member’s life is on the line, can Jessi’s mates intervene, or will all be lost on the full moon?
