"Chosen (White Wolf #1)" by K. Matthew
Rating: ♠ ♠ ♠
Free read and the first story in a longer series. Also, a PWP. And... I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. Why? Because it plays heavily with dub-con/non-con and the Stockholm Syndrome. It's about a pack whose Alpha dominates his subordinates sexually. And not just that - the pack kidnaps young men and mentally, physically and sexually bends and breaks them to force them to join the pack. The pack itself doesn't see anything wrong with that. And I'm not sure if the author presents it as "no, it's not okay but the pack doesn't see it that way" or "yes, it's okay." And that really confuses me.
Well, in any case, it's something I have never encountered in a book before. And for that reason alone, I find it quite fascinating, to be honest. It definitely made me want to read more.
