Dove Me Tender, Dove Me Sweet — Scarlet Hyacinth

When werewolf Maddox rescues dove Avery from a hunter, he is shocked by the emotions Avery rouses within him. Sparks fly, but Maddox sees Avery as too fragile to pursue a relationship. A long time ago, Avery was kicked out by his parents for being gay. His boyfriend cast him aside, and a shocking event turned him into a fugitive. For the first time in ten years, Avery wants to trust someone, but his increasingly strong feelings for Maddox make him fear the werewolf's rejection. However, as Avery becomes involved in an attempt to investigate who is hunting shape-shifters, his past makes an unexpected comeback. The appearance of Avery's first love arouses Maddox's jealousy and brings about new questions and problems. The truth Avery has been hiding will finally rear its ugly head, and when that happens, it will be up to Maddox to save his dove, and them all.
