Spice Level:

Atlas is a strong Alpha who is well respected and loved, but no one truly knows the dark secret that shackles him. When hunters become a deadly threat to his pack, a mysterious giant wolf saves his sister from capture. Atlas catches a glimpse of this heroic wolf and is struck by more than just gratitude—there's something deeper that forces him to face his truth.

From a distance, he realizes what the moon goddess has in store for him but struggles to accept the gift and retreats. Until one day, Atlas' Beta finds a man unconscious in a cave with a wounded leg. Not sure if the shifter is a threat, the Beta restrains him and brings him to the pack house for treatment. When Atlas follows a familiar, wonderful scent into the basement, he finds his fated mate, Cassius, sitting there... naked. Both are raptured by the discovery, but Cassius harbors secrets that neither he nor Atlas are ready to face—at least not alone.
