Two rejected alphas. Desperate for Connection. Longing for acceptance. Fighting for survival.

Lacking options, Avery joins a work farm where packless werecreatures labor in exchange for room and board. Then another potential hook-up lands him in the arms of the most dangerous man he could pick:
A shifter.

Two rejected alphas. Desperate for Connection. Longing for acceptance. Fighting for survival.
Ever since a hook-up infected Avery Smith with the werevirus, turning him into a were-ursine imbued with alpha magic, he’s been on the run. No established pack leader wants a rival in their territory, but he can’t start his own pack because few are willing to entrust their safety to a small-statured trans man. Lacking options, Avery joins a work farm where packless werecreatures labor in exchange for room and board. Then another potential hook-up lands him in the arms of the most dangerous man he could pick:
A shifter.
As an alpha, taking over his family-led cougar shifter pack is Sascha Madison’s birthright, but lifelong chronic illness has compromised his standing. Getting caught with a werecreature will ruin his slim chances of inheriting the pack, and could result in him being disowned by his father.
Despite everything that could go wrong, Sascha and Avery connect, discovering much more than casual relief. The rare flicker of belonging is threatened by the bitter conflict between their species. Shifters believe the monstrous transformations forced by the werevirus make a mockery of their existence, and the recent explosion of infections has put all packs on high alert.
While Avery endures harassment at the farm, Sascha struggles to protect him without revealing their intimate connection. When a predatory supervisor forces Sascha’s hand, Avery has to flee yet again… This time, with Sascha by his side.
Too quickly, they’re caught. Sascha’s father gives them an ultimatum: Separate permanently, or Avery dies. But there’s more to being a leader than oppressive dominance, and Sascha and Avery are determined to shatter the walls separating their species and find a pack that will accept them both.
