Blurb: Derek Terrell is a Luna werewolf, and he never wanted to find a mate. Then he found one, in the worst possible place. The pack of the enemy, the wolves who want him, his family, and his pack, dead. Instinct demands he go to his mate to be claimed, and he can only fight it for so long, even if it means his mate might kill him to avoid mating with him.
Jake Aeron has heard the terrible stories of Luna werewolves. His first instinct is to keep it a secret and kill Derek quickly and painlessly so that he won’t be forced to watch the rest of his pack torture the man the death once they find out, but he can’t. One touch from Derek and Jake’s lost forever. Now he must find a way to keep his mate safe while he comes to terms with the fact that he just might’ve been in the wrong the entire time.

Review: I am always amazed at the ability to tell a story, especially one that is well written and emotionally felt.
When you find that one person that is perfect for you and then to have them turn from you it would crush anyone. Derek never wanted a mate, yet during the fight to save an omega wolf he finds his. Only his mate is with the enemy. Jake finds his mate only to turn and leave with his pack determined not to deal with him. At first his intention, when Derek comes to him, is to kill him in secret and never let his pack get their hands on him, but that changes when he starts to feel things for him. Derek is an omega but actually comes off as a beta. He is strong-willed and fierce, but tender, kind and loving. He wants his mate and is willing to die to prove it. Jake is an alpha but to me he doesn’t seem to actually act like it. They are just the cutest couple ever and you actually cheer them on.
It doesn’t hurt that the sex is super hot too. When I come home from work, tired to the core and feeling a little down, I look for a book with a bit of humor and seriousness and lose myself into it. Marcy’s books always help me on days like that. I loved this story and cannot wait to read it again.
