Shifter Quinn Adler knew he would live and die as a slave.
Quinn's life was filled with pain until he was rescued from an abusive pack. But in Lydon, Quinn can't be sure of anything, so he's terrified of everything. With no one to give him direction, he is lost—until Deke takes control of him.
Deke Timmons hates that he has to play the role of master to his mate.
Unfortunately, Quinn won't accept his love until Deke can show him what being mates means. Vowing to help Quinn, Deke takes him into the world he's never seen. Though sometimes their relationship is tense, his methods seem to be working.
Then a power-mad Alpha swoops in to kidnap Quinn and ends up getting Deke by mistake.
Now Deke must play submissive to a wolf complicit in Quinn's abuse. He'll do whatever it takes to get back to his mate—but with Deke in peril, Quinn must find his courage and reclaim the person he was meant to be.
