Dane escaped the brutality of his sire by running away from the Strongblood Pack. Physically and emotionally scarred, he has lived a feral life for many years. The lure of returning to pack life proved too strong to resist, however, so he has made his den in the woods outside the packlands. He has also kept tabs on his omega brothers and even interfered with how they were treated, his judgment clouded by the trauma of his puphood. Although he is now confident that his brother is a good alpha, he does not trust his ability to return to the pack. Remy is a naïve omega who has been kept ignorant of his nature. He sees the world with an open heart while also worried that he seems to have trouble keeping up with others of his kind. When his sister flees their pack with him, he does not understand why, but his trust in her is something that he does not question. Living on their own is hard and with both winter and his heat coming soon, they have run out of time to find a safe place to live. Their situation changes unexpectedly as they run into a feral beta. The moment Dane finds Remy, he is determined to protect him – even from himself. He knows that the best place for this omega to live is with the Strongbloods. Wintering in his den is out of the question however appealing it proves to be. Remy’s instant comfort with Dane does not help with his resolve. It is perplexing, as is the fact that their wolves can communicate. Dane has never believed in having a fated mate, but Remy is forcing him to reconsider his life. Remy is a sweet and biddable omega who does not argue with Dane’s decision, yet when his heat arrives, he insists on Dane breeding him. Although he can deny Remy nothing, Dane fears he is too broken to mate with the boy and rejoin the pack. Remy has other ideas and the omega may prove more formidable than Dane ever expects.
