About this ebook

Kelsey, a submissive wolf-shifter, has always done what she has been ordered to do. But when Madsen, the Wrasa’s highest alpha, sends her a letter via pigeon post, containing very unusual orders, she’s not sure she can obey. Madsen and the newly hired Wrasa PR firm think it’s a good idea to celebrate the anniversary of their not-so-voluntary coming out to the human public with a Wrasa Pride Parade—and they want her, a lowly nederi, to lead it.

"Pigeon Post" is a short story that goes with the paranormal romance novel "True Nature".

    Pigeon Post

    A prolonged silence made Rue look up from the MacBook Pro on her lap.

    When she had last taken a break from working on her company’s spring market exhibit about an hour ago, Kelsey and Danny had been curled up at her feet in their wolf forms, enjoying the afternoon sun on their pelts. Now their places beneath the porch swing were empty.

    Had they gone inside to raid the fridge?

    She mentally shook her head. If they had shifted back, she would have heard the pained growls, no matter how focused she was on work.

    Frowning, she closed the laptop and stood. Her back muscles cramped from staying in one position for too long, and she massaged her lower back while she shaded her eyes with the other hand and searched the area behind the house.

    At times, being the human alpha of a pack of wolf-shifters was like herding cats.

    Something rustled in the hedges to her right.

    Rue whirled.

    Kelsey was stalking along the hedge, using it for cover. Her chocolate-colored ears flicked forward, and she kept her gaze fixed on her prey as she carefully placed one paw after another.

    Rue’s adopted son, Danny, followed her, mirroring her every movement. He had started to fill out during winter, but his paws still looked as if they were a bit too large for his lanky frame.

    They didn’t stop their stealthy approach as Rue stepped closer to get a look at their prey.

    A gray pigeon sat on the lawn, grooming itself. Apparently, it hadn’t noticed the two wolves yet.

    Danny’s tail started wagging. His hazel eyes gleamed against his black fur, glowing with hunting fever. An excited yip cut through the peaceful silence.

    The pigeon stopped grooming and turned its head in his direction.

    Kelsey paused with one paw lifted, nearly making Danny stumble into her.

    After a second’s hesitation, the pigeon took flight with hurried flicks of its wings.

    Kelsey pounced.

    Feathers flew.

    Kelsey, no! Rue let out a sharp whistle. Leave the pigeon alone.

    For a moment, she thought the wolves, gripped by hunting fever, wouldn’t listen or even hear her, but then Kelsey ceased her attack and crouched, her belly almost touching the ground. Behind her, Danny whimpered and lowered his body too.

    The bird used the opportunity to escape to the pigeon loft next to the woodshop.

    Whining, Kelsey watched it fly away before she slunk toward Rue with her tail tucked in submission.

    Danny followed her.

    Rue bent, buried her hands in the thick fur of Kelsey’s ruff, and lightly shook her. What did I tell you? No hunting the pigeons.

    Their gazes averted, the wolves licked every inch of Rue’s exposed skin they could get at.

    Okay, okay, apology accepted. Come on, you two. She patted her thigh so that even Danny, whose wolf was as deaf as his human form, could understand that she wanted them to follow her. It’s time to shift back before you get into even more trouble.

    Danny sat on his haunches and cocked his head.
