Terry Martin has an awesome life - good friends, loving parents, and a job he loves designing all of the bright and wonderful costumes for the drag queens at Club Blue. Sure, no one but his parents know he’s an Omega wolf, but he’s okay with that. Unfortunately being a twink often means getting picked on and after a night out with friends, Terry has the misfortune to meet an Alpha wolf, Detective Zander Samuels - his true mate. Zander can’t have a mate, especially a pretty, sweet little man like Terry. His friend of more than 10 years, and partner on the force hates gay men.

Ajani had always known there was something tugging at his soul, or that special someone, but he doesn’t want to bring Marvin into his dark world. But then when had Ajani ever got what he wanted? The Fates chose Marvin for Ajani, and he’ll need all the skills he’s learned to keep his mate safe. Marvin, previously known as AX4395, is finally happy in his life with the Thalassas and all the gorgeous children, but he will never forget the lost boys—those youngsters he used to visit regularly, the boys who grew up in cages.

Ben was looking out for the wider shifter population as acting council lead. The one thing that leaves him questioning what he is doing with everything which unfolds. Then one file—one photo changes everything and sends him on a race against time home to Paraguay to fight for what is most important—his mates.

A call changes everything for Conrad. He has one mission when he arrives in Paraguay: to ensure that no one finds Devil. His cage brother’s life depends on it. What he doesn’t expect is to meet his mate—the one man he cannot lie to and who seeks answers. Kylo, pissed at the world and near a nervous breakdown when he discovers he’s been duped by the council lead, demands they send him an assassin. The ode ‘be careful what you wish for’ could never be truer for Kylo when the last thing he needs or wants is an assassin mate.

Wyatt is a planner, weighing up all the options before he decides. Only Fate has other ideas. Now Wyatt is dancing with Devil, just not in the way he’s expecting. James—aka—Devil, learns quickly through the assassin program the only way to survive is to shield himself in a cocoon of protection. Living a life where striking terror is far easier than dealing with messy emotions, only Wyatt isn’t letting him hide.

Duron has wasted too much time dancing to the shifter council's tune. He has enough on his plate, struggling to let go of a past infatuation. What he needs is an escape, and the offer to go to Paraguay on a hunt fits the bill. What he doesn't expect? The new shifter council leader is his mate. Newly appointed lead Beaumont wants to rid the council of its rotten apples, which includes anything connected to the assassin program. When one of those assassins turns out to be his mate, his determination increases.

Carlin is an Alpha Wolf Fighter, one of only three in the top spots at the Souterrain - an underground fighting club, run by the Elite to punish shifters who have gone outside of the laws. He's happy enough, only has to fight exhibition matches, has his own apartment space, food and sex on tap - yep, life is good. So when Martin offers him the chance to fight for his freedom, Carlin turns it down. It's no fun being a lone wolf and Carlin is quite happy where he is. Then Lucas catches his eye.
