Gabriel Martin has hope. Three of the Alphas on the council have found mates in the past few years. Returning to New York from Atlanta, he comes across a human who has been raped in an alleyway. The human is his mate, Kane Brady.<br><br>Kane has been teaching at the local high school and refuses to rubber stamp the education of their star basketball players -- almost paying the price with his life. He’s unusual as he’s a human Omega but he can’t be intimate with Gabriel because of his horrific experience.<br><br>It’s up to the Alphas and their Mates to help Kane recover and accept all that it is to be with Gabriel.

Marking Kane

“It’s time to go before you get too sleepy to travel. If you get frightened, or just need to talk, here is a cell phone with my number preprogrammed into it. It’s a burner phone, but it will do until we get you a new one or recover yours.” Sean handed him the phone. Armand raised an eyebrow. “What? I had Pierre go get it while he was waiting for us.”


“Occasionally I have an idea or two.” Sean smirked.


“Occasionally…” Armand smiled. Kane noticed that when Sean spoke to Armand his voice got soft, and the reverse was also true. They really love each other and Mr. La Marche runs a corporation that employs gay men in the highest positions. I might not have moved from Indiana for nothing. I may yet find friends here.  2
