So, they come out of hiding and reveal themself to humans. They offer to help protect humans for the right to go mate hunting.I do not know why, but the human government agrees. This means, in every big city in the United States must take part in a mate lineup while men sniff us. I'm super fucking excited.Every female of a certain age has to go to one lineup, and this is mine. Since running and hiding will make me a slave to the werewolves, I suck it up and stand in the stupid line. But the bastards like my scent paying too close attention to me. I swear, if anyone of them even mumbles the word mate, I'll lose my shit.The problem is, my best friend Brit wants to attend more. I'm a little overprotective, but I don't stand in her way. Not until they put their hands on her and throw her out. Now, I'm pissed. I make a deal with Brit. I'll attend a few of her lineups and go to the biggest lineup at the Gallo with her to protect her from the assholes. But if she doesn't find a mate, it's time to date human men and leave the hairy ones alone.She agrees.The question is, am I making the right choice by getting near more wolves? They liked my scent too much. What if, by showing up, I somehow get caught up in their world? I have a non-human secret that needs to stay buried. Or I could end up buried as well, like my father.NO!I can't think like that. This is my chance to save my werewolf-loving friend from getting hurt. She's so desperate for a mate, she's throwing her life away at those stupid lineups. I won't let that happen.Fingers crossed she doesn't find a mate... Or worse, that I don't find one because I might get stabby. I'm already using my cage-fighting skills to teach these pups a lesson. I have no problem getting my hands even dirtier.
