Before they can be out together, they must rid their pack of the evil within.
Sean Ridge, the Alpha’s son, harbors a dangerous secret about his long-time best friend. Ben, the son of their pack’s Beta, also happens to be Sean’s destined mate.
However, same-sex matings are forbidden by pack law and those who defy tradition risk death. To survive, Sean and Ben must live a lie. But they’re not the only two who want pack law to change. A group of wolves are planning an uprising to overthrow the evil Alpha.
Will Sean and Ben choose to run and forever look over their shoulders? Or will they take a stand and fight for the right to choose their mates and live in the open?

Excerpt:
Sean Ridge and
Ben Frizz stared out of window toward the forest while the rest of the pack
ran. It was a full moon, and only those of the pack who were unable to change
stayed indoors. The hairs on Sean’s arm stood on end as he thought about what
he’d just witnessed.
“I don’t know if I can stop being
sick,” Ben said, putting a hand to his stomach. They were both seventeen and
the best of friends. Their fathers were the alpha and beta of the pack. When
they were both old enough they’d take their places, bringing protection and
guidance like both of their fathers before them.
Sean
no longer looked toward the thick forest but down at the town square where two
men had been made an example of. The very sight of them, hung up on posts,
sickened him. There were a couple of people who were admiring the death before
them. His own father had done this before his very eyes. He’d never known and
never wanted to know anything like it again.
“How
could they punish them, Sean?”
“I
don’t know.”
“When
you’re mates, it shouldn’t matter. Both men were mates.” Ben shook his head
stepping away from the view. “I can’t look. I don’t know how those people can
even stand to look at it.”
“Both
our fathers did that, and those people agree with it.”
“They’re
outlawing same-sex mates. If they don’t leave the pack, they’re going to kill
them.”
He
didn’t know what to say. Leaving the sight, Sean sat on the bed, drawing his
knees up against his chest. He didn’t know if another pack allowed same-sex
mates.
Closing
his eyes, he tried to hold in the shudder as he recalled his father’s disgust.
“I
will not have this disgusting order in my pack. If any of you wish to fuck one
of your own sex get the fuck out, or you will end up like these two dirty
bastards.” His father had spat on the floor, the disgust inside him clear for
all to see.
“Mates
don’t have a choice, Sean. Those two men lost their lives because the fates
decided they were supposed to be together.”
“And
our fathers made sure they couldn’t. I don’t know what to say, Ben. We can’t
allow ourselves to worry about it. Our mates will be women, and we won’t have
to deal with our fathers’ wrath.”
Ben
came to sit beside him. “I’m not worried about our mates. I don’t want to be
part of a pack that can do that to fated loved ones. We’re a pack. There
shouldn’t be any law above mates, and yet we’ve just witnessed two men
humiliated and murdered.”
Shaking
his head, Sean rested his chin on his knees. “I can’t think about this right
now. I really can’t.”
In
one quick move, he left the bed to rush toward the bathroom. He brought up all
of his dinner until there was nothing left. Sean heard Ben enter the bathroom
while he was throwing up.
“It’s
okay,” Ben said, rubbing his back.
Resting
his head on the side of the toilet, Sean didn’t know how much more he could
take. He loved his family, but his father had very strict beliefs. Over the
last couple of months he’d witnessed a vile destructive quality to his father.
“Is
it okay?”
“They
might be the only two out there.”
“I
doubt that. Dad is going to tear this pack apart. There’s something different
inside him, Ben. An evilness that unleashes near every full moon.” Tears filled
his eyes, which he tried to force down. It wouldn’t do him any good to cry.
“We
can survive this together. I swear.” Ben grabbed his head, and Sean didn’t do
anything to fight his touch. This was his biggest secret. Every time Ben put
his hands on him it sent warmth throughout his entire body. Lately his dreams
had been consumed by Ben. Every time he closed his eyes, Ben was there, talking
to him, guiding him, kissing him, loving him.
The
hotter the dreams, the more excited he became.
Licking
his dry lips, he pulled out of Ben’s hold. He couldn’t hurt his best friend
and, the way his feelings were going, he could easily do it.
