Out of the Cage: While helping a stranded friend, a shifter discovers Fate’s greatest gift.

Nedrick Quittor answers the phone expecting to hear that his buddy, Rierdon, is running late because he always seems to run late. That’s true today, too, as Rierdon’s truck broke down, and he’s stranded.

Ready to laugh and tell his friend I told you so because Nedrick had warned Rierdon to fix the problem over a week ago, he heads to the campground where his friend is waiting. After confirming the truck needs a tow, he’s approached by the sweetest-smelling human he’s ever encountered—Brett. Nedrick is momentarily shocked to discover that his mate, the other half of his soul, just walked up to him.

In the course of helping him, Nedrick learns that Brett’s there camping with friends and one of them, Karissa, is dating him and already has designs on his mate. On the plus side, he discovers that Brett’s already friends with a few of his pack-members. The human just doesn’t know it.

With a little help from his friends, can Nedrick steal his human without revealing the existence of shifters to those who’d use that knowledge against them?
