After several years of Special Ops in the Navy and a FUBARed mission, Tobias was once again running. Running away from his past, from the doctors, and from his PTSD - put simply, Tobias was running from himself and was landing in deep shit.A chance meeting places Tobias in the cross-hairs and he knows immediately that his life as he knew it is over. The big question, would he be allowed to begin a new life with the Dásreach? Leo hadn't run from his life, he had been pushed. For one hundred and seventy-seven years, he had been the black sheep of the family, forced to live alone or live a lie. The decision had been easy, that was until Malkum shows up on his doorstep dragging along a pain in the ass Enforcer that flips all of Leo's switches.Now both men are forced to reevaluate everything they ever thought they knew, decide what they really want, and figure out how to convince the other.Will Tobias' second life as a bear help the Dásreach acknowledge the ultimate truth - love is love - as well as, the magnitude of the changes occurring within their race?
