Rion Cruz has an obligation to protect the pack lands, as well as his fellow packmates. Beyond those responsibilities, however, no one has ever depended on him until Moon came along. Captivated by the pint-size werewolf with the tragic past, he finds being someone's hero isn't quite the burden he expected it to be. No one ever cared about Moon, not his parents and certainly not the staff at the lab who held him captive for years. Spending the majority of his life just trying to survive, he has never really learned how to live, but all of that changes when Rion sweeps into his life. Moon knows the path to forever won't be easy. When an unknown danger comes knocking at their door, however, threatening to end his happily-ever-after, he's prepared to fight tooth and nail to protect his mate-and a future he didn't even realize he wanted.
