I actually give this 3.5 stars but Amazon doesn't allow halves."She was the queen, and she was going to regain her throne herself. Or die trying."One woman's loss is another mans gain. Wyatt infiltrated Stefanie's pack and took her down a few pegs on the alpha chain. He wanted her as his mate, and she isn't so interested. She's been on the run ever since, that was a year ago. All she wants is freedom and her pack back.But in order to have either, she'll have to face the alpha, Wyatt, and all his horrible deeds.Rain's created a wonderful lead character in Stefanie. She has spunk and passion and the author did a good job at making her come up off the page.This is a quick read, as novellas tend to be, but I enjoyed the struggle of the characters and the pack world I was drawn into.Werewolves in general always tend to be fun reads, mainly for what they represent- that primal instinct and freedom many of us crave. Rains did a good job of showing the reader something they wanted in Stefanie and giving Stefanie the same desire...instinct and freedom.The only real downside to this book in my humble opinion is the belief that expanding the book and the ideals in the story would have made the book as a whole- a lot stronger.The plot itself is good, but Rains is a well versed writer and I think she could have made it more. Her potential to explore areas in unusual ways is a gift I hope to see her expand into full length novels.If you enjoy werewolves and a fun new world, come play in The Alpha...
