Hunted Pack. Her Vicious Pack, #7

After their mission and movie date both went into unexpected directions, Vera and her pack now have a brand new mate, a bunch of kids and more new information about the Hearts than they know what to do with.The previous night was supposed to be easy: Mathew and Riley would go on a mission, Vera and Jorge would go on a movie date to keep their mind off of things and Caleb was going to get some more work done on their new living room.
It ended up very differently after Mathew found more than just the seeds they were supposed to steal when he entered the lab and when Vera snuck off to track down a new scent match, she caught people from the Hearts transporting a group of kids. Vera's emotions are all over the place. The new scent match, a Beta man called Luca, has been traumatised by the Hearts for years, making it hard for him to be close to Vera, Mathew or Caleb.
It's even worse when all she wants to do is to hide him in her nest until he feels better again and that's the one place he can't be. So, instead, she focuses on the other things that have to happen: find safe places to live for the kids they rescued, protect Luca's family and get information out of the three unwilling 'informants' they caught last night. One thing becomes clear very quickly, the Hearts have been close on their heels for a while and they seem ready to jump. This is the seventh out of twelve novellas following Vera and her mates in the Her Vicious Pack serial, a dark contemporary reverse harem/Why Choose romance set in a sweet Omegaverse world about a criminal found family empire with dreams of 'expanding the family'.
This novella may include any of these elements: steamy scenes, 'I need tissues NOW' moments, cries of 'why, oh, why' and cliffhangers that make you bite your nails (and curse the author). This serial has MF, MM, FF and group scenes.
