Storm has always been in love with Makai, so he's happy when they turn out to be mates, only to be devastated when Makai fights the bond.

Makai never imagined that the ray of sunshine that was Storm could ever be his, and now his biggest fear is that he might lose control of the wild beast lurking within him and hurt Storm.

When they find out they're a part of an elite group called the Protectors of the Moon, they have to navigate their new relationship while fighting for the greater good, and Makai realizes he might lose the best thing in his life if he doesn't learn to swallow his fears and trust his wild wolf.

Storm's Beast

Noah, one of the trainers, grins when he spots me, coming over to hug me. "Great to have you back here today, Storm. You've been missed." 


I return the grin. "Great to be back. How is it going?" 


He shrugs. "It's going okay. We're trying for under 30 seconds for the 100-meter freestyle stroke, but the best we've got is 30.42 seconds. They're still limited by their human form and aren't fully channeling their werewolf speed." 


"Hmmm...we've got six weeks before the tournament. Hopefully, they get it by then." 


"Hopefully. Let's see how much your presence motivates them," he says as the boys finish their set and get out of the pool for a break. 


"Storm! You came!" Corey cries as he bundles over with the other boys in his wake. They all have water dripping down their bodies. 


"I promised, didn't I? Great swim. Well done, guys. How are y'all feeling?" 


"Not bad. We've been consistent for some time but we're working on getting it under thirty seconds-- Noah's preferred time."
