Jared just wanted to celebrate his birthday and make new friends, but he quickly finds that clubbing can be dangerous. In fact, the whole world is a different place than he thought it was. Werewolves, vampires, and faeries turn out to be all too real. Front and center of it is is Steven Chang- alpha heir and all around good guy. He says Jared's his mate. It's all a bit much for Jared to process, but maybe it'll all be okay as Steve says he's willing to date first. For a while anyway. Jared just hopes it's long enough to wrap his head around it all, hopefully without getting disappeared by the mysterious men in suits or anything weirder happening. Trigger warning: contains a sexual assault.

Vampire prince and bakery owner Laurie has tried to be patient with the irascible human mate Fate has given him. Ever since he first met the FBI agent, he's known that he needed to handle him carefully or R.W. would continue to avoid him. When Steven Chang and his mate Jared approach him about a building that the werewolf pack has acquired, he jumps at the chance to expand his business holdings in the human world. He certainly doesn't expect to discover that Fate has handed him a second mate, and one that even more skittish than R.W. As he ponders how to ease Lamar into their world and get both his mates to accept their mating, complications within the human world rear up. Chang packmates husky shifter Desmond and Rafe knew there was something off about the van they spotted chasing a young pup past the Chang Building. What they didn't know was that they would uncover a danger lurking that would affect them and the rest of the supernaturals living in New York City. A danger that means the Fae Kingdom, Laurie's Dark Principality, and the Chang pack must unite to fight.
