Precarious Path — Shea Balik

In a world where everyone was against them, they needed a Miracle. What no one had expected was to find their salvation in an abandoned town that was ready to collapse. Yet, that was exactly what happened when they moved to Miracle, Oregon. Pryor Watts swore never to change, not even if he found his mate.  He was stuck in the ways of his former herd even though they had kicked him out.  It never occurred to him that fate didn't care what he wanted, only what he needed. Garian Tope had no idea how cruel the world truly was until he and his family were captured by humans and sold into slavery.  He believed his luck had changed when the man who rescued him was his mate.  If only his mate hadn't walked away, leaving him alone to deal with the repercussions of what happened to him. Warning:  Rape is depicted in this story.
