You can’t escape your past. Not really. Rory should know. It was just his luck catching the wrong alpha’s eye, especially when he’s the pack Alpha who won’t take no for an answer. When Rory escaped with his son, he went to the one place he could hide, his baby brother’s new pack. Then he meets Graysen. His mate. He’s everything Rory never knew an alpha could be. Sweet, kind, and caring. But he doesn’t know how to accept what he’s offering. Can he ever get over his fear and hatred of alphas to trust his fated mate? Graysen’s finally found his fated mate. And some other alpha has mistreated him. Rory is frightened, raw, and pregnant. Fate picked one hell of a time to throw them together, but Gray won’t give up. Graysen knows Rory is his, and he’ll do anything to be there for him. But what if he can’t be what Rory needs? Can Rory let his guard down long enough to give them a chance?
