Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Can a wolf earn back his mate\u2019s trust after throwing it away?<\/p>\n

The last time werewolf Franco Antico saw his Omega, Jaime was eighteen\u2014gorgeous, sweet and innocent. When dark forces threatened their pack, he made the choice to protect Jaime the only way he could, by fleeing and taking the fight elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Five years later, Franco returns to discover nothing of his childhood friend and mate remains. Jaime\u2019s bitter, broken, and carrying the pup of an abusive alpha.<\/p>\n

Trust needs to be earned. Franco gave his away. Can he mend Jaime\u2019s heart and soul, and reclaim his lost Omega<\/p>\n

Excerpt: <\/strong><\/p>\n

“Where are you taking me?\u201d Jaime demanded.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomewhere safe.\u201d Franco took a deep breath and told Jaime about what happened. Dead silence. Franco couldn\u2019t tell what Jaime was thinking, so he said, \u201cThey\u2019ll keep you safe and away from the prying eyes of the Evenfall survivors and their new allies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to be with strangers.\u201d Jaime practically spat out the last word.<\/p>\n

Franco used that opportunity to grab the gun muzzle. A random shot fired. Hit the roof harmlessly. He lost control of the wheel for a couple of seconds. The car screeched.<\/p>\n

\u201cFuck, Franco.\u201d Jaime reached for the wheel, righting the vehicle\u2019s path.<\/p>\n

Franco rolled down his own window, tossed the gun out for good measure, and then took over for Jaime again. Jaime glared at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve made your point. I thought we always made decisions. Together. Did you think I\u2019d go along with this lame-ass plan of yours? You woke up today and decide I\u2019m unnecessary burden, is that it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Damn it, Jaime had a lot of ammunition today. Franco always thought Jaime should have been born a hellcat, not a wolf. He knew Jaime wouldn\u2019t make this any easier, so he had to harden up.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course not. You know me better than that. I spoke with the others. They said this was for the best. Our enemies have my scent and can track me. Yours, they don\u2019t. If you suppress your wolf, they\u2019ll never find you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight,\u201d Jaime said, tone bitter. \u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not leaving you,\u201d Franco said in a firm voice.<\/p>\n

He stopped by the side of the road. No other vehicles passed by. No sign of life aside from the two of them. Franco grabbed Jaime\u2019s chin, forcing Jaime to look him in the eye. Willful defiance.<\/p>\n

God. Was Franco sick for being turned on? Jaime knew it, too. The cunning Omega flashed Franco a razor-edge smile. He ran a hand over Franco\u2019s inked forearm, knowing full well how his touch affected Franco.<\/p>\n

Franco thought Jaime would go for smugness, but his mate never had the touch of cruelty. He had more effective weapons in his arsenal.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t leave me,\u201d Jaime said in a soft voice. It didn\u2019t escape Franco those had been the exact words Jaime said back when both of them were still kids. \u201cWe\u2019ll get through this mess. Maybe laugh about it someday. Together. We\u2019re stronger together, baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat route worked. For awhile.\u201d Franco didn\u2019t like seeing Jaime\u2019s expression crumble. The anger he could deal with. The pain was another matter. He didn\u2019t like to see his mate hurting. Ever. \u201cTell me Survival Rule Number Three?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFuck that. I\u2019ve always hated those dumb rules.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJaime,\u201d Franco said quietly.<\/p>\n

Jaime gave him a sullen look before answering. \u201cLearn to adapt to circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n

After that, Jaime slunk back in his seat. They didn\u2019t speak the rest of the way. Franco chewed on his lip, letting the heavy silence create palpable tension between them. God knew Franco preferred warmth to ice. To hold Jaime close to him until time ran out. Whisper promises he might not be able to keep. Well, he wanted a lot of things.<\/p>\n
