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

“You go ahead. I’ll speak to Agnes.”


Gabriel came back into the bathroom. “Have you turned into a prune yet?”


“Not really, it almost lulled me to sleep.”


Gabriel’s looked down at the water which was tinged pink. Maybe a warm bath wasn’t the way to go. That dilated his blood vessels and made him start to bleed again.


“Let’s get you out of there and dry so you don’t catch cold. The water looks a little pink. Let me check to see if you’re bleeding badly.” Kane stepped out of the bath with Gabriel’s help. Gabriel dried his torso and made a cursory check. No blood is running down his leg. The bleeding has stopped. He gently patted the towel over Kane’s scrotum, which along with his face, had taken the worst of the beating. “Here are your sleep pants, T-shirt, and a robe. Let me help you. You can’t raise your arms above your head.” Gabriel put his arms into the sleeves and pulled the shirt up and over Kane’s face.
