Then I lost Melody and the child we hoped to have, and my world crashed down on me. I holed up, grieving and fighting conflicting impulses, until my Third, Sherman, got tired of my apathy and Challenged me for pack Alpha. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eI could've taken Sherman down, no sweat. Rob could've wiped the dirt with him. What held us back was the memory of one night when we were both seventeen, and three decades of not giving in to impossible dreams. If we were free, away from the violent homophobia of the packs, maybe we could finally be more than Alpha and Second. So I suppressed my Alpha instincts and walked away. Rob, as always, came with me. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow we're in my truck, heading west into the mountains. Just David and Rob, two men trying to figure out what we can be to each other. Until we stop in a small town for a meal, and someone who smells like a wolf steals my truck. Trouble's afoot, the local lone wolves need help, and I'm discovering that once an Alpha, always an Alpha. But if we get entangled with a new pack, does that mean any relationship Rob and I might've found has to be lost again to werewolf laws? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSet in 2010, a year before\u003cb\u003e Unacceptable Risk\u003c\/b\u003e in the bad old days of the packs, this is a Hidden Wolves universe standalone 44,000 word novella with new characters. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContent warnings for grief, past pregnancy loss, past abuse, past captivity, and violence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContains the added bonus 5K short story\u003cb\u003e Toby, Doyle, and the Cats. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaje Harper\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798334320642\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Kaje Harper","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47203143745791,"sku":"9798334320642","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0590af1-173f-4c57-960b-ebc6faaec421.jpg?v=1756834473","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/once-an-alpha-kaje-harper-9798334320642","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
