Omega wolf Colten Morgan has been taken as the mate of an alpha wolfhound. Wolfhounds are bred to hunt and kill werewolves, and though Zane claims to love Colten and doesn't want to hurt him, Colten can't help but fear him, even as he desperately desires him. He doesn't want to fear his mate. The man has had ample opportunity to do harm, and yet he's always been more than kind, more than willing to protect Colten and give him everything he needs. But Colten's animal side goes into flight mode whenever his mate is nearby. It shivers and shakes, and despite the desire between them, he still knows that he is creating a very unhappy mating. Colten doesn't want to make the man he loves unhappy. So he will do whatever it takes to be with his mate, even if it means demanding to be taken the way he needs to be.
