Formerly published in the Fragile Beings collection as #376 Fate can't be contained. A fey Changeling is rescued from captivity by a reluctant demon on a quest to find his fate. Of course Dom expects trouble, but he is shocked to discover his fate is tied to an imprisoned fey woman. Charlotte's a kicking, spitting, hissing little Changeling—and she’s his. Instinct and the rush of the impending rut means he already knows who she belongs to, but convincing Charlotte to give him a chance won't be easy. She has no idea just how far a demon will go for their mate, but she's about to find out. This short standalone novella features a captive fey, her reluctant demon rescuer, a road trip, lots of flannel, and the perils of a mating season. It can be read completely on its own and is a great intro to the world of the New Protectorate!
