Super-short story. 51 pages on the Nook App on my iPad.Jurisa is the alpha female of her pack, but her mate has passed away awhile ago and there has been a great deal of uproar amoung the community, or the rest of the packs for her to chose another mate. It is always best for an Alpha to rule as a mated pair.Alphas from all over have come to this area to engage in a run to determine the new mate for Jurisa. She has laid out a path, practiced it many times, set traps and obstacles and done everything she can to make sure that only the strongest and best alphas, and the one she approves of make it to the end. In order to make sure some of the "slimier" alphas don't make it, she has slipped something into the evening meal.The run begins, but in the end, the outcome in more than she had planned, and Jurisa as more to say in her choice of mate than she thought she would.It is a cute store, very short, and very fast read. I think it could easily be taken and make into a full novel, just with the information given in this novella. The expanded work could be awesome. For a novella is was cute, and worth the price I got it for.Free at BarnesandNoble.com, or at least it was when I downloaded it. Not sure if it is still now, but worth checking out, if you are looking for something to add for some quick reads this summer. It's stories like this, that I never understand why they were even written. Even for a short story, it was just stupid. There was just no point in it. I noticed the author seemed to call a werewolves 'pack'...a community. That's a first! I don't understand why that was changed because it doesn't really sense. Given the fact that these werewolves don't even live with the humans...they're more animal like, living off the land and whatnot, like a wolf 'pack!'There were just several inconsistencies in this story that I couldn't help but compare to other werewolf stories. Usually when an Alpha mates, it's for life. His female is usually an Alpha herself, at least in the regards to the other females of the pack or community in this case. So once one of them loses their mate, that's usually it. Time to move on and let another Alpha be in charge. Or at least let the former Alpha's mate (the main female) choose? I don't get the race? I remember reading a part where the main female mentioned how she was already wet between the legs prior to the 'race for a mate' thing. Yet she said that she wasn't in heat, so this part didn't make sense to me. I just wasn't a fan of this story.
What do You think about A Lycan's Mate (2012)?
Quick short read and I actually found myself disappointed that the story didn't continue.

There really is not much to say about this story. It was short.
