Shifter Country

A reluctant queen.Her steadfast king.The struggle to maintain power in the face of long-standing corruption.As the new shifter Alpha Queen, it's my job to stop the other Alphas from destroying my country: humans, shifters, and environment alike.I saw how damaged we've become under the likes of my mom and the other Alphas. I've made it very clear that they can't be allowed to keep hurting our people.So of course, I get attacked while coming home from work. It's bad, too. Normally, I'd just let it go, but this level of retaliation has to be addressed.They have to know I won't let them get away with it, too.No, I'm not used to having this much power. Yes, the other Alphas are united by their shared goal of doing whatever they want, no matter the consequences. And yes, they're also more than happy to play dirty.One thing they're not expecting is that I am, too. At least, that's what I'm telling myself.Because I'm the Queen. I have to stop them. It's the only responsible thing for someone in my position to do.To do anything less would be admitting that I can't stop them at all…and that I wasn't meant to ever be a leader in the first place.

A lost hiker. A dangerous shifter. A trap disguised as a choice.I just did the one thing you should never do while hiking-let alone backpacking-solo:I got lost.What can I say, it's like a jungle out here in the forests of the Pacific Northwest.I have to find a place to sleep, before I get turned around anymore, so I wander just a little bit…and wouldn't you know it, but in the middle of nowhere, there's a huge estate parked in the center of the forest.It's not on the map-I would know, I've been staring at it all evening. It's also dark. So you'd think no one would notice if someone just…I don't know, casually set up a tent right at the very edge, close enough to the forest to not technically be on the property.But no. They do. And they're not happy about it. They're really not happy about me being here. So that's Not Good.But they're not letting me go, either, which is its own level of Very Not good.Now I need to know: what on earth have I just stumbled into? And now that I have: what will it take to get me back out of it? Rowena Aiello is a spinner of yarns and a weaver of tales. Hear more from Rowena at https://eepurl.com/iDMiyg
