Darian Stewart is the beta for the Blackwood pack of London, England. Finding his mate was supposed to be one the happiest times in his life; instead, it was surrounded with petty misery. His mate was a stone cold tramp who lusted after another. Rejections presented, barely visible bonds severed, and a battered heart—Darian was left to fate’s intervening. Seeking comfort in another on an emotionally charged night will both be gratifying and confusing. Will Darian be acceptable to the changes present; will he swear off anything that deals with the mating bond forever?
