Ally Winchester is a rare female alpha who has been with her mate Wyatt James since they were in high school. Neither of them cares that a bonded alpha pair is rare and not as strong as an alpha-omega pairing, they’ve always known they were true mates and they’re happy with their relationship as it is.
While Wyatt investigates the drug ring in Mirror Lake and the recent arson case in Crescent River, Ally keeps serving the local crowd at her bar until one night, a wounded omega shows up in need of help.
Gemma Cruz is injured, on the run, and doesn’t trust a soul. Despite her guarded demeanor, Gemma instantly connects with Ally, and Ally’s alpha instinct to protect Gemma is unlike anything she’s ever experienced before. Wyatt, on the other hand, doesn’t know how to feel about taking in the primary suspect in his investigations.
Before they know it, Ally and Wyatt are hiding Gemma as the connection between the three of them continues to grow and Wyatt tries to piece together what’s happening and who he can trust. Gemma’s presence in their lives makes it clear that not all fated mates are couples, and perhaps a piece of Ally and Wyatt’s fate was always missing before now.
In order to explore their new relationship dynamic, they need to clear Gemma’s name and avoid getting caught in the crosshairs of Vargkung as he spirals out of control, going to great lengths to cover his tracks, and risking his own exposure.
