Jalen ran from Houston when he witnessed a coldblooded murder. He knows the men who committed the crime, and they know him. With nowhere else to go, he calls his cousin Cameron, who lives in Desire, and leaves that very night. What he didn't expect was to meet a sexy, determined man who has his sights set on Jalen. Ezekiel swears his pack is cursed. No one except their alpha has found his mate. But fate intervenes when Zeke strolls into the coffeehouse and finds a sexy little number working behind the counter. He and Cage race toward the man, both determined to get to the human first. Zeke is stunned to find out that Jalen is his mate, but trouble is on the man's heels. Not only is Jalen's cousin completely against two men being together, but Jalen is the only witness in a murder, and it's up to Zeke to keep his mate alive.
