I'm glad I went back to read this novella that starts off the series. We met Emily and her pack alphas Griffin, Dion, Kenji, and Freddie in the 3rd book of the series and heard their story referenced in another book. Griff is at Heat Haven for orientation when he first joins and Emily is there picking a nest before her heat arrives. They get trapped in an elevator and stuff happens, then they spend the night together at his place after and agree he'll be there for her heat which comes on quickly. Dion is one of the alphas brought in to help and they all get on well. Later they become a pack and eventually grow it by two more, an established couple who get stuck with them in the elevator. I know this is what started off the series and was only meant to be a standalone novella but I could have easily read an entire novel about this group.
