Neither can deny their passion nor their hunger for the other, but as Darren tries to find his place in this new world, he wonders whether desire can be enough.<br><br>Rumors of an upcoming power struggle between the packs in Washington, DC, bring the question of Darren's role to the forefront. Is he Aden's partner and a leader of the pack? Or is he nothing more than Aden's boytoy, placed outside his family? Darren struggles to prove himself as the tensions between the packs mount and Aden's ex-lover puts a plan of vengeance into action.

On the Ragged Edge of the World

“Oliver would never associate her with me, that’s for sure,” he finally mused. “And if he did discover she was Argenti, he would never in a million years think I had anything to do with it. Not after what happened last time.”


“Plus, it can only help us to put Argenti on Oliver’s tail. Jasmine won’t be interested in him if he’s only building up a base for a power struggle, but if August discovers anything illegal, Argenti will be all over him.”


Aden snorted. “That’d make a nice change.”


“I’ll get in contact with her tomorrow.” Darren rolled to his side, curving around Aden’s body. “After I sleep for twenty hours.”


The slide of Aden’s arm beneath him, pulling him closer and onto Aden’s chest, was the best thing he’d felt all day. “No moaning in your sleep, then.” He brushed a kiss across Darren’s forehead, his lips warm and dry. “You’re absolutely adorable when you do that, and I won’t be able to resist.”
