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?

Each home has large freezers and pantries. We also have a pack grocery and butcher.

We also have a seamstress, a tailor, and a dry goods store.”

Colin noticed that Marc seemed pleased to see him refill his plate. I’ll have to thank Michelle. I’ve never eaten so well. Ma wasn’t much of a cook
