Warren McDonald has woken up after a severe injury from another wolf, to discover that someone in his own pack is his mate. He couldn’t be happier to realize that alpha Damian Hart is his mate, but Damian has his own skeletons to handle before he can allow himself to completely open up to Warren. Damian’s previous mate was murdered by hunters, and after the attack against Warren, he finds himself being incredibly protective of his mate, especially since there is a rival pack living not very far away, and there are rumors abound of a group of human hunters out for werewolf skins. But Warren needs to show his mate that he is not about to break, and if Damian insists on keeping Warren close-by for his protection, then Warren will make it clear that he cannot live like that, because he will not choose to cage himself for love, even at the risk to his own life.
