He built a framework. She drove four and a half hours. The framework lasted fifteen seconds.
Rafe Okonkwo has been the Ashford pack's Beta for fourteen years — methodical, precise, the person every compound crisis runs through and every pack member leans on. He manages everything before it needs managing. He has a framework for diplomatic negotiation, compound logistics, and inter-pack crisis. He did not have a framework for twenty-three letters that stopped being about protocol somewhere around letter twelve.
Imogen Calloway is human, the Calloway pack's head diplomatic liaison, and the person you call when three packs are arguing about a river and you need them to stop before anyone shifts. She's been in transit for eight years — every compound, every dispute, every treaty, always moving. She's very good at it. What she's less good at is staying.
Except she drove four and a half hours to arrive three days early to a summit where she was the lead liaison, and she told the Beta she doesn't do that for protocol, and she meant it.
Between them: twenty-three letters, a cross-referenced spreadsheet with a dedicated love category, a forty-year territorial dispute that's been waiting in a county archive for the right moment, and a compound that has been adopting people since long before either of them arrived and has absolutely no intention of stopping.
He's been building the foundation before the conversation started for fourteen years.
She's been in transit long enough to know what it feels like when somewhere is finally home.
The framework is gone. What's replacing it is better.
Caught by the Beta is a wolf shifter romance featuring a human heroine who negotiates peace between packs for a living, a Beta hero who builds documentation systems before anyone asks him to, a found family who has been counting down since the first letter, explicit content, a spreadsheet that will make you rethink your organisational systems, and a compound that keeps the light on. Third and final in The Ashford Pack series. Can be read as a stand-alone.
