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

“Sean was being nice to someone who was hurt. He would have done that for anyone. He has the type of moral standard that wouldn’t let him pass up someone who needed him,” Kane murmured sadly. Then he brightened. “You have the same standards as he does. Your nature compels you to help.”


“Maybe that’s true, but Sean didn’t have to come back today and he’s bringing Ian and Colin, his best friends. I like you. You’ve been brave in the face of danger. Far braver than anyone else I know in your position would be. As far as teaching, you are an excellent teacher. You put your student’s well-being over your own. Hughes physically threatened you and you didn’t back down.”


“But Deon and Johnny, I should have been able to get through to them.”
