I’ve had a few looks at this one and it isn’t going to be for everyone (check out the reviews on Goodreads to see what you think). Β But I think that for the others this will be a very …. satisfying read Β π

Blurb:
When a wolf mates with a human, the child is nearly always a wolf. Briana was raised as a werewolf, but then puberty hit and she never changed. Sheβs persuaded a few wolves to bite her, but it never took. At nineteen, sheβs going to give it a final try. This time, sheβll ask someone who was bitten instead of being born to it, to see if it makes a difference.
She grew up welcome in the Pack until she was branded a human. Her developing teenage psyche was wounded by their rejection, and she holds nothing but ill will for the Pack and all it stands for. However, itβs fine for a human to glare at the Alpha and tell him he isnβt the boss of her. Trying it as a wolf is another story. Sheβs determined to make a go of it as a lone wolf, but Randall β the local Alpha β has other ideas, despite the fact sheβs property of his brotherβs motorcycle club.
Briana was raised to be a werewolf and she finally feels whole, but the transition is different for everyone. She understands supernatural politics, but sheβs going to have to maneuver through the highest levels of them as a brand new wolf still struggling for control.

Excerpt:
Maggie had told me what she expected me to do before sheβd changed into her wolf, so now I lay on the forest floor, buck-naked and spread eagle.
Iβve been bitten before so I knew the pain I was about to feel, and it took every ounce of my resolve to remain in place as the medium sized wolf sniffed me all over. My legs wanted to kick and then jump up and run, my hands wanted to protect my face from her, and my heart felt as if it were trying to escape my chest β but I held my breath and forced myself to stay frozen.
If this didnβt work I wasnβt sure Iβd try again, but I had to give it one final attempt. Iβd been raised knowing I was a wolf. Iβd always felt her inside me, but then she never showed herself and I was labeled a human when Iβd had my period for a year and hadnβt changed.
But my self-identity never changed. Iβm a human who identifies as a wolf, but if this didnβt work β Iβd have to find a way to accept my humanity.
I gasped when she bit my left thigh, held my breath while she mangled my right thigh, and couldnβt hold in my screams when her teeth tore into the skin and muscle of my left shoulder.
Iβd told her where to bite me, but I hadnβt told her she could just go straight in and out without ripping. The wolfβs natural instincts are to tear as they bite, and fuck it hurt. If this didnβt turn me I was going to be scarred something awful.
She must have realized how bad sheβd hurt me, because she was a little more gentle with my right shoulder, but it still hurt like hell.
Finally, Maggieβs wolf backed up a half-dozen steps and went to the ground, her eyes on me so intense it was unnerving, but I already smelled of pain and blood and I wasnβt sure how much control she had, so I tried my hardest not to be afraid.
Everythingβs hazy past that point. I remember hurting, remember thrashing in the dirt, but it was days later before I have any memory of being fully in my human brain again.
