Alpha Marc Thierry was used to the North Woods of Minnesota, so his elevation to third on the loup garou council necessitated a move to a Gramacy section of New York City. On Monday nights, his housekeeper is off and Marc doesn’t like casseroles. He orders Chinese and gets a musical voice on the line that calls to him. To his delight and surprise, the guy on the phone delivers his food and is his destined mate. Unfortunately for Marc, Colin Callahan thinks the only reason Marc could want him is biological -- he has to like his mate. Colin has a scarred face and thinks no-one could love him as he is. Can Marc convince him otherwise?

Scarred Mate

Colin’s eyes opened wide, and his mouth hung open. He rubbed his eyes and stared. “Oh my God…oh my God.” Colin had to take deep breaths. He was afraid he was going to faint.


Colin, don’t be alarmed. It’s me. You’re hearing my voice in your head. It’s the mate link. I’m a loup garou, and you are my mate. Colin could feel the wolf lick his face and nuzzle his neck. See I love you in this form, too.


Colin opened his eyes slowly, hearing Marc silent voice. He knew it was a cliché, but he pinched himself and yes, it hurt. He stared at the creature above him again. This huge animal, four times the size of a regular wolf, sat on the floor next to the couch lolling his tongue.


Do you want me to change back?Colin nodded his head again, still speechless.


The wolf blurred and became a naked Marc once more.
