Jared Clark is next in line to be the Alpha of the Silver Pines pack, a tucked away community of werewolves that have been protected by his father for years. Jared is the most advanced hunter in his pack, and most adept at integrating new wolves into the pack, but his father has placed a roadblock in his path before he can ascend to Alpha status. He needs a mate to make his claim legitimate, and with the increasing pressure that James is placing on his shoulders, he’ll need to find one fast. Jared and his beta, Collin, embark on a cross country trip in the hopes of finding a woman worthy of an Alpha.

Jared is an Alpha who needs to take a mate so his father can step down as pack Alpha. James sends his son and his Omega Dillon on a trip across the country to meet other packs and find a mate. Instead of doing this, they spend a few days at a hotel and Darcy, a waitress in the hotel, pursues Jared. They go for a ride and end up having sex so powerful, that Jared accidentally bites her and turns her into a werewolf. He must now go home and explain this to his Alpha parents James and Lizette. His father tells him he still has to find a mate, and train Darcy how to be a werewolf in the human world. Will Darcy embrace her new life, and will Jared find a mate to help him rule the pack so his parents can retire?
I'm not entirely sure what to make of this. I didn't hate it. I didn't absolutely love it though. It's what I expected for a short story but it was still just meh.
