In the cutthroat world of werewolves, three men dare to seek their mates outside the wishes of the pack. Elias, haunted by his parents' unhappy marriage, rejects his true mate ceremony when he meets Amy, a photographer who understands his feeling of incompleteness. Damien, the pack alpha, has already found a mate, but something draws him to Sophie, causing him to question if it's possible to love more than one woman at the same time. And Lucas finds himself mated to Clarissa, the stepsister he never wanted, but who he's always secretly lusted over. Tensions rise, and a rival pack's covert tactics threaten both werewolves and humans. Will their forbidden love prevail, or will these three couples destroy the very fabric of the Thorntree pack?

Chapter 1: Inescapable Fate

PART 1: Elias and AmyEliasThe true mate ceremony that I'm supposed to be a part of has almost begun by the time I make my way to the clearing. The light of the impending full moon guides me until I set eyes on the bonfire, but with every step I take, I hesitate. I know that once I step forward into the ring of firelight, there'll be no going back.From a few paces away, I see the fire crackle, sending sparks dancing into the night, casting flickering shadows on the faces of my pack. They stand in a loose circle, a congregation of the people I've known my whole life. But two faces in particular make me stop dead in my tracks.At the edge of the crowd, my parents stand, and I can't help but notice my father's arm clamped tightly around my mother's waist.

Even by the dim light of the fire I can see the strained expression on my mother's face, the grimace that p

Chapter 2: Moongazing

AmyThe woods wrap around me like a secret haven as I crouch down, fingers gliding over the settings of my camera. The sky is clear tonight, the moon glowing in the night sky, and as I set up my shot, I know my photography professor is going to go nuts for this. That is, if I can figure out my settings. As I adjust the exposure, I hear the distant echo of wolf howls. I smile to myself at the sound, brushing aside my long auburn hair to peer through the viewfinder. As I twist the focus on my camera's lens, I remember my classmates' words that afternoon when I told them where I was going."You can't go out there alone!" one had said, eyes wide."Haven't you heard the stories?" chimed in another.Of course, I've heard the stories -- everyone in the town of Shepherd's Range has. Even now it's as if whispers of folklore float through the shadows—tales of mythical creatures, monsters, and even werewolves.I chuckle to myself though, shaking my head slightly. The stories have always amused

Chapter 3: The Cave

EliasI move effortlessly through the woods, every tree, every turn, imprinted in my mind from a lifetime of navigating their depths."Elias!" comes my father's call again but it's quieter this time, lost in the distance between us.Though he could easily follow me if he wanted to, I have to have faith that his arrogance will outweigh his concern. As a respected member of the pack, it wouldn't do for him to leave the party early, even if it was in search of his unruly son."It's not much further," I say, blocking out his voice and turning, instead, to Amy. Her hand is still firmly clasped in mine and as I look at her, I catch a glimpse of those hazel eyes again. Her full pink lips are curved into a mischievous smile and it's clear she's enjoying this adventure.I'm not sure why I invited her to join me, but something about her is intriguing, different. She's a flicker of curiosity in the darkness of my discontent. And there's something else too. The title of her photo series, "Incomp

Chapter 4: Animal Attraction

AmyI lose myself in Elias's touch, in the press of his lips, the heat of his breath. Soon, he's parting my lips with his tongue and I press my body against him, longing for more of him.In between breaths, I catch glimpses of him by candlelight, and I see those dark, penetrating eyes gazing back at me as if he, too, can't believe we're doing this. But whatever spark is between us is far too powerful to ignore. I feel his arms wrap around my waist before his hands wander further down. Suddenly, he grabs my ass and pulls me on top of him. The move sends a thrill through my chest and a heat between my thighs. Before I can stop myself, I moan, and the sound echoes through the cave, repeating my pleasure back to me. I lean in to kiss him again, while my hands find the hem of his shirt. In a second, my fingers are under it, tracing the hard lines of his abs, his lats, his back. Between my legs I can feel his stiffness and involuntarily I begin to press myself against him. The pressure o

Chapter 5: The Cold Light of Day

EliasThe sound of rustling wakes me as I open my eyes to the soft glow of dawn. As I slowly pull myself from the fog of sleep, I see the nascent sun casting a warm light on Amy, who's scrambling to get dressed. For a moment, I pause, staring at her lithe form as she pulls on her shirt. The sun and shadow cast a gorgeous silhouette of her curves, reminding me of the ridges and valleys I explored last night.She looks more beautiful than ever, her tousled red hair and the remnants of a smile playing on her lips. Suddenly though, I wonder why she's in such a rush to leave. I hope she doesn't regret what happened last night."Hey," I say softly into the silence of the cave. Amy stops suddenly and, although I can tell she's in a hurry, she takes a moment to lean over and kiss me."Hey," she breathes as she pulls away, evidently surprised by her own forwardness. "I'm sorry to wake you.""It's okay, " I tell her, sitting up and stretching. "I was hoping maybe you'd stay a little while thou

Chapter 6: The Taste of Him

AmyThe door closes behind me, shutting out the man I wish I could be throwing myself at right now. I know I should be getting ready for college, but all I can do is lean against the door, still tasting Elias on my lips. My mind reels, trying to process everything that's happened over the last twelve hours.Absentmindedly, I bring my fingers to my lips, as if I can hold onto that kiss and everything that preceded it.Last night comes rushing back to me. I know I felt a connection with Elias that went beyond anything I've ever experienced before. The way his touch sent a fire racing through me. The way he held me so effortlessly, making me feel safe in his arms. The way he looked into my eyes like he'd known me all his life. And then, waking up next to him, lingering for as long as I could, watching him sleep, before I knew I had to get up. His eyes when he first saw me in the morning light, like I was the most beautiful thing he

Chapter 7: Betrayal

EliasI want this kiss to last forever but I know meeting Amy like this is dangerous. My father made it very clear how he felt and I'm sure by now the rest of the pack knows about it too. I finally manage to pull away."You'd better come inside," I tell her, ushering her through the door.She nods brusquely and steps inside. The moment the door is closed though, I take her in my arms again."I hope it's okay that I'm here," she tells me, her words slightly muffled from where her cheek is pressed against my chest."Of course it is," I reassure her, though my mind is racing with concerns. I run a hand through her long auburn hair though, remembering the same act as I made love to her last night. It pushes away any doubts I have and instead floods me with the same joy I felt this morning when we walked through the forest hand in hand."God you feel so good," I tell her, my voice coming out as little more than a whisper.At this, Amy pulls back, and I'm struck by a sudden sincerity in he

Chapter 8: Teeth Bared

AmyThe tears blur my vision as I stumble away from Elias's house, the pain of this new revelation searing through my chest. My eyes sting, my head swims, my hair whips in the wind but I hardly feel any of it. All I feel is the aching in my heart, replacing the fullness I felt this morning when I woke up in his arms. "I can't believe I was so stupid," I mumble to myself as my suede boots thud against the pavement.I don't know where I'm going, and I don't care, as long as my feet take me away from Elias, away from the heartache that threatens to overwhelm me. It takes a long time before I realize my feet are no longer hitting tarmac, but earth.The woods stand tall around me, the trees silent witnesses to my inner turmoil. I can't shake the feeling that Elias was only using me as a fleeting escape before he meets his wife. The thought brings on a fresh wave of tears as I walk further and further into the woods, seeking solace in the quiet embrace of nature.The silence only serves as

Chapter 9: Tooth and Fur

Elias The quiet solitude of the cave wraps around me as I sit in contemplation. After Amy left, it was all I could do to keep myself from chasing after her, but sure enough, I found myself walking the streets. Not to find her, exactly, but to find an answer -- something that would lead me out of the mire of confusion and toward some kind of clarity. And there's only one place that affords me the peace I need to do that. The echoes of my last conversation with Amy linger in my mind, and the air is thick with the weight of uncertainty. Usually the cave is a place of solitude and silence, but today every inch of the place reminds me of her. The tousled sheets where we spent the night taunt me from the corner, as if reminding me what I've just lost. I want to find her, want to tell her I won't give up on us that easily, but the moment the thought enters my mind, it's followed by my dad's fierce warning. "Fuck him," I spit into the darkness, my face twisted in a scowl hardened by years

Chapter 10: Confessions

Amy The door creaks shut behind us, and the reality of what just transpired hangs in the air, an unspoken tension that neither of us is ready to confront. I guide Elias to the living room, my mind still reeling from the chaotic events in the woods. He winces as he lowers himself onto the couch, the gash on his bicep a tangible reminder of the evening's tumult. I know I need to address what I just saw, but I can't bring myself to say out loud the word that has been bouncing around my mind since Elias transformed before my very eyes. Instead, I retrieve the first aid kit, grateful for the distraction it offers. When I make my way back to the couch, I catch Elias' eye for a moment. That same dark, penetrating look that first drew me to him is trained on me and for a moment, my breath catches in my throat. I manage to brush away that flicker in my chest though, and instead, sit down next to him, trying my best not to sit too close. It's impossible to avoid for long though. "Let me s
