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

“As long as I don’t give you my mating knot, I can live like Armand lived before Sean. I can walk away. I do have a choice. The gods give all of us a choice. I would have to make sure you are protected, and I’d provide for you financially. It’s against my nature as a wolf and our laws to see my mate in need and not do anything about it. But I don’t have to love or even like you much less live with you. I could have seen the scar and run. Instead, I saw you.” Marc sighed in resignation, knowing he was losing the battle.
