Brian is the alpha of the least impressive pack of wolves at the whole Moon Ceremony. When a non-shifter is discovered uninvited in their midst, Brian bonds with the man to save his life.

Luke has some misgivings, but Brian's tenderness is just what he needs—and not what he expected from a "werewolf." He's starting to develop feelings for the gentle wolf shifter who rescued him.

Both Brian and Luke expect to quietly dissolve the bond later. But some bonds are not so easy to cast aside. If they want to actually build a life together, it will take love, dedication, and hard work. Especially with all the new wolves who keep inviting themselves into their family.
