Read in Cat o'Nine tales.
A short told from Beast's PoV and taking place right before "the hunger times" that are often referenced by Beast in the novels. Nothing special here, but definite fan service.

Wesa and the Lumbar King- This story is set in the late 1800's or early 1900's and Wesa (Jane) is still very young. Beast is the more dominant of the two and it will be interesting to see how that changes.

Read it as part of [b:Have Stakes, Will Travel|15986286|Have Stakes, Will Travel (Jane Yellowrock, #4.5)|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1346791512s/15986286.jpg|21741210] anthology.
This is a short story, told from Beast's pov in Hunter's, already recognizable style. It covers an event from period of time Jane doesn't remember; when Beast was in charge.
This story doesn't add too much to a complete series, but it answers one significant question everyone who read series wondered about at some point:
Is every type of meat on Beast's plate? :)
It's too short for me to rate it on basis that would give much credence to it, so I'll stick to saying: if you are fan of Beast's pov in novels- then you'll appreciate this small addition.

FIRST, I'm not sure there's a more perfect example of Beast vs. Jane than this one:
Moving on.
If you're a longtime reader of Jane, you know there are periodic references to the Hunger Times. This is a (very) short story from Beast's POV as she tries to get rid of the humans destroying her natural habitat.
Beast is . . . Beast. *snickers*
We also get a peek at baby Jane, who hasn't yet found her way back to human form after melding with Beast.

Night vision came as sunlight left. Earth turned into silvers and greens and grays. Liked this time of day/ night. We sa called it beautiful. I called it safe.

This really short novella is told from Beasts POV, before the hunger times, and while she was alpha. It tells of her hunting, and how the hunger times came to be.
I really do love Beast.
I've read it before, as part of the Cat O'nine Tales-collection, and there I gave it 5/5 stars. I usually reserve that full pot for something that stire emotion in me.

A very cool short that introduces the idea of Beast and WeSa before we know them in the full series. Showing a little of their life before they came out of the woods. Really shows the power of Beast.
