Looking To Belong - Crystal Scherer

. .

Résumé :
Everyone wants a place to belong, and Jade is no exception. Being a runt is something she can't change, but it's something she will have to overcome in order to convince a pack to accept her. Rogues, lawless wolves, and ferals are only some of the dangers Jade must face while living in no man's land, and she has to be clever to survive. Such a lifestyle has taught her several tricks and given her valuable skills, but will they be enough to convince a pack to let her prove her worth? Even if she does find one willing to let her in, she knows there will be new obstacles to face - and she's determined to overcome them, and, perhaps, even dream of falling in love. 73,000 words Love-at-first sight, matebond-style werewolves....

Sommaire:
A wholesome love-at-first sight werewolf story where the mate isn't an Alpha, and they actually want to be together. Life as a rogue isn't easy, especially for a runt living in No Man's Land. Jade has gained an impressive set of skills over the years, such as evading ferals, camouflaging her scent, and sniffing out expensive truffles, but few packs want to accept a runt. When she finally gets invited into a pack, she picks up an irresistible scent. Her soulmate. Jade must decide if she's willing to grasp what is likely her only chance at unconditional love - or flee in case her potential mate rejects her and shatters her heart forever. Excerpt: ???????Silence reigned as I nervously followed them into a room, keeping my eyes down since I could sense my soulmate in the room. A few moments later, a set of heavy footsteps began to approach me. A couple of the others inhaled in shock. One of the earlier voices murmured, You've got to be kidding me... I stopped where I was and shifted my weight uneasily at that comment. My presence hadn't surprised them. They were shocked by the identity of whoever was walking toward me. It made me very nervous, to say the least. My worry and caution urged me to look up to see why they were so astonished, but I knew I'd almost certainly make eye contact, and the risk of rejection wasn't easily dispelled. Trembling with nerves, I kept my gaze focused on my shoes as my mate drew closer. 73,000 words Love-at-first sight, matebond-style werewolves with a happy ending. Her mate is not an alpha.
