Oxnard Matheson grew up believing he was nothing—until the Bennetts moved in next door. A family of shapeshifters with loyalty as fierce as their wolf forms, they welcomed him into their extraordinary world. Among them was Joe, the youngest Bennett, who became Ox’s closest friend—and perhaps something more.
But when tragedy struck, violence shattered their bond, and Joe vanished. Now, three years later, Joe returns as a man, haunted and determined, reigniting the connection that has always tied them. Yet, with darkness threatening their pack, Ox must decide if he’s strong enough to stand beside Joe and protect the family he’s come to love.
In a world where magic and loyalty collide, will Ox and Joe’s bond be enough to heal the wounds of the past and face the dangers ahead?
