I fell in love with Silver in the third grade. He was my first everything. First best friend, first crush, first kiss. When he chose me out of all the omegas chasing after him, I felt like the luckiest guy in the world. But fate had other plans. Just after graduation, I met Daryl. From the moment I laid eyes on him, I knew he was my fated mate. I tried to hide my disappointment. My heart still belonged to Silver, even though I was destined for someone else. I did my very best to be a good mate to Daryl. Even when he hurt me, I forgave him and kept trying to make things work. It wasn’t until I got pregnant that I realized I couldn’t stay any longer. Showing up on Silver’s doorstep isn’t the world’s best plan. He might turn me away. But I have nowhere else to go. The Fated Mate Bandit is book two in the Trash Pandas series. It has MPreg, knotting, cute raccoon shifter children, and hurt/comfort. Trigger warning for memories of domestic violence. No on-page altercations.
