Espen Urso would rather stay inside and enjoy a nice, sweet cake than be out in the worst storm of the year. But there’s a group of alpha shifters trespassing, and he needs to defend his territory and keep the people in his village safe. A group of wolf shifters he can scare off, but when he realizes they’ve hurt a defenseless little bird, he loses his patience.<br><br>Arvid Rai is having a bad day. He’s an omega on the run, with a group of alphas on his tail. If there hadn’t been a storm, he could have easily flown away before the stupid wolves got their hands on him, or the angry bear noticed he was in his territory. But there is a storm, and the idiot who grabbed him broke his wing, so now he can’t fly anywhere. Still, he deems it best to stay with the growly bear rather than having the other alphas fight over him.<br><br>Espen has never believed in the myth of omegas, and it isn’t until he takes Arvid in he realizes how much trouble he’ll be in when shifters from near and far learn he has one in his home. Will he be able to keep Arvid safe from other shifters? Is it even possible to defend his territory with an omega in it?

Blown Away

He stood and listened for a few seconds, but it was impossible to hear anything over the roaring wind. He hoped there hadn’t been too much damage to the village. If the wind didn’t lessen soon, he feared many windows would be shattered before the night was over.


“Espen?” Arvid’s voice came from right behind him. Trepidation crawled into his mind as Arvid came closer—not his.


“I…erm…I didn’t mean to upset you by…You know.”


“I understand it can be unnerving if you’re not normally attracted to men. Most don’t care since I’m an omega, but I get it, okay?”


Oh, he believed Espen was upset over having experienced a wave of arousal for a man. “It’s not that.”


“I understand—erm, the alpha in the group where I grew up always got upset.”
