Bound by Fate — M.A. Church

Half human and half Tah'Narian, Szin doesn't fit with either race. His appearance is mainly human, but he's able to have a young. Unfortunately, that's his only Tah'Narian characteristic. He's smaller and weaker than other young.

Szin's eighteenth birthday has passed and time's running out. He has to stop his childhood friend, Takeo, from making the worst mistake of his life: claiming Szin as a mate. Takeo deserves an equal who's as fierce as he is, something Szin most certainly is not.

Since before Takeo was born, he's known Szin was his. Nothing and no one, not even Szin, is going to stand in the way of claiming his mate. He understands Szin feels he isn't good enough, and he'll do anything to convince Szin otherwise. Including taking drastic measures to ensure his mate listens.

Takeo is the ultimate blend of human, Tah'Narian, and Onfrevian DNA. He's pure predator, and his sights are set on his mate.
