Eron Camden/Aaron Keizer is the youngest son of a rich and powerful Alpha, the only brother of a new Alpha but feels unaccepted and lacking in his pack because he cannot “hear” his wolf though he can shift, transform, and is an excellent fighter. Runs away from home and becomes co-leader of a mafia-like private army of a corrupt, sex-craved governor, then escapes his employer to turn over a new leaf as a lumberjack in a faraway mountain village. There he met his human mate Diwana Wolf, who does not know of his dark past and Lycan line. However, he's at a loss as to how he can admit his feelings to Diwa without exposing his true nature and wicked past. Diwana Armanaz Wolf is a mail-order bride who believes she is cursed, which is why she chose to be a mail-order bride in the first place, but the truth is she’s actually half-foe, her father being one of the strongest tikbalang warriors and most powerful magic users in the planet. Due to a recent epidemic that took the lives of her husband (Mason Wolf), baby boy (Cefano), and both brother and sister-in-law, which she still believes was part of her “curse”, was left with the care of her brother and sister-in-law’s three kids, two girls (Erica and Katya) and a boy (Macky). This came with inheriting and maintaining the large Wolf properties, including the massive former bed-and-breakfast mansion/inn “Oro Vista Alpha). Due to financial and security reasons (Diwa had an unknown and obsessive stalker, who almost raped her in the past.) had accepted Eron as her first boarder, who will eventually be followed by more due to the introduction of newcomers to their village.

He then reacted to her praise. “I hope you actually don’t mind the canned stuff. This is far from a proper home-cooked meal,” Eron timidly admitted as he sprinkled oregano salt while adding large handfuls of cheese as the last ingredients to his impromptu cream soup. When it melted, he stirred the dish a little bit more, and then it was ready to serve. 


His honest but proud, toothy grin made her feel extremely warm inside. Even after she was warmed by his cooking efforts for her. 


“Don’t worry, Eron. This is more than okay for sure,” Di said then was thoughtful for just a moment, as she took the hot bowl that he had carefully handed to her. “You know? I believe… No, I KNOW… that this is the very first time that I tried food that a man has prepared for me.” 


As he watched, Diwana deeply inhaled the comforting soup’s aroma, his expression went dark for a moment. But then, he couldn’t let her see him like that.
