    Six loud boisterous alpha brothers made family life hell for a quiet alpha and as soon as he could, he moved out into his own home. Now the only thing missing was his mate. His wonderful submissive beautiful little mate who was out there somewhere. He just knew it. And Fate answered him. Just not the way he had it planned out. Now he’s stuck reforming his biker bum alpha mate into something that will fit into his life. Dash, short for Dashiell Williams Parkes III, was testing the new prototype motorcycle his company was going to produce when his mate, an alpha, slammed into him with a car. And then he proceeded to yell at him for breaking his ’61 Corvette! After the first whiff of mate, there was no way he was letting this wolf get away even if he was a prig. He let his mate assume he was an out-of-work biker bum who fixed motorcycles to pick up cash while he worked on his mate’s attitude and plan to reform him into being a suitable Alpha Mate.

    These are the facts as Kyle knows them. When Cade, Kyle's old high school crush, struts up to him in the gym - with his big muscles, cocky attitude and a bulge in his shorts that verges on the obscene - the facts as Kyle knows them just might have to be reconsidered... Cade has known that Kyle is his mate since they were in high school, back when he was in the closet and his reputation meant more to him than making his wolf happy. Now he's both older and wiser, and when he unexpectedly runs into his mate at the gym - weeks before he'd intended to make his move - his wolf takes over and demands that he finally lay claim to what is his... (This 11,500 word story is part two of a five part serial. It features a cute accountant and a dominant alpha werewolf who wants nothing more than to claim, love and cherish him forever.) *** Cade grinned, shuffling up on the bed with his tray and setting it down in front of Kyle. He’d prepared waffles, strawberries, and toast with scrambled eggs - the smell of food hitting Kyle’s nose and making him feel ravenous. He reached down and grabbed a waffle, sticky with butter and syrup, and started cramming it into his mouth like a person possessed. Kyle couldn’t stop himself. He knew that he was behaving little better than an animal, that he was humiliating himself, but for some reason he couldn’t bring himself to care. He was starving, and Cade had brought him food. That thought echoed through his mind, making him feel warm and tingly to the bottom of his stomach. Cade looked inordinately pleased with Kyle’s behavior, grinning and looking proud. Kyle didn’t understand, and as Cade picked up a strawberry and took a normal sized bite, Kyle started in on the toast and eggs. He wanted bacon, but there was none to be found on the plate. “Where’s the bacon?” he demanded, looking away from his food and feeling strangely betrayed that Cade could have brought him such a feast and not included bacon. Cade looked stricken, not at all the appropriate reaction to Kyle’s rude and insane behavior. “I’m sorry, I forgot to buy it. Do you want me to run down to the store? I can get it and be back in-” “No!” Kyle interrupted, far more vehement than he’d intended. The thought of Cade leaving had his throat closing up and panic welling up inside him. “You don’t have to. This is good. Don’t go.” Cade looked torn, but he didn’t get up. Kyle resumed eating, and within minutes all the food was gone. Kyle looked at the empty plates, a feeling of horror creeping over him. What was wrong with him?
