A reluctant alpha... Twenty-something Wolfie is more of a figurehead than an active leader of his pack. And that suits the shifter just fine since he'd rather daydream about life on the open seas instead of worrying about the day-to-day minutiae of leading a passel of werewolves. But seven years of separation isn't enough to prevent Wolfie's jealous older brother from nipping at his sibling's heels. Will Wolfie be able to squash his bloodling nature and control his ego in time to safeguard the shifters who look to him for protection? In Deep Shift is a 14,000-word novelette that can be read at any time after Bloodling Wolf.
