In the beginning, he is torn between his human nature’s desire to flee and his new inner beast that needs to be with Cal desperately. They return to Cal’s pack compound and there Gabriel starts to learn about his new life as a pack omega and his importance to both Cal and the other shifters. Now that Cal has Gabriel back, he isn’t letting him go. The human part of Gabriel wanted to run… But a growing part of him-the part his master had given him-wept in relief. Starved and empty no matter how much he ate, hormones ping-ponging inside him as new instincts took hold, Gabriel was helplessly drawn to the shifter. Had he the strength, Gabriel would’ve leaped at him and begged his master to take him. When Cal finally finds him, Gabriel is both scared and relieved. He is starving, craving his master, and struggling on his own. As a reader, I could feel Gabriel’s fear here, knowing something is after him and that is only a matter of time before he gets caught.

Gabriel flees and is now hiding out from his master and the other shifters who hunt him. However, one night he meets a master who forever changes him, turning him into something no longer fully human. Before this, he had been a normal guy - working as an accountant, driving a Taurus, and spending an occasional evening at a club enjoying being a sub. When we first meet Gabriel, he has been on the run for two months. Even though the story is a bit out of my comfort zone, I was really drawn in right from the beginning and enjoyed the book quite a lot. Hey, good marketing, right? Then I read the blurb and was even more intrigued. I saw this cover and wanted to read this book. Learning to trust? Vital.ĭio just needs to coax Nox into one last try.Ok, I will admit it.

Laying to rest the ghosts haunting Nox is too. Reconciling Nox with his pack is more important. New medical treatments offer a slim possibility Nox could bear children, but if the past years taught shifters anything, it is an omega’s value is greater than his fertility. One sniff of the wary omega convinces him Nox is his mate. The pack drafts alpha fixer Dio to untangle the mess. Joth demands Nox in their father’s stead in exchange for resuming therapy and tests… thereby risking the destruction of Nox’s carefully ordered world. Humans studied Joth in prison until his father’s death ended the weekly visits. He built a new purpose for himself as a master craftsman. Shattered, Nox rejected the pack who fumbled helping a barren, grief-stricken omega cope. Nox survived, but the attack wrecked his womb. When Nox was fourteen, his brother Joth murdered their older brother, their mother, and a human girl.
