Red Moon Rising — Joy Lynn Fielding

Caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, Tristan Howe is abducted and imprisoned by a pack at war with his own. His future looks bleak until he finds an unexpected ally in enemy pack member, Colby Williams. A fragile bond develops between them as they escape together. Once he's safely back with his own pack, Tristan finds his feelings for Colby are more than just gratitude for being rescued. He's delighted to learn that they're reciprocated, and even more excited to realize he and Colby are mates. But idealistic Tristan finally has to face up to the fact that even true love might not be enough to defeat the forces ranged against them, not least his pack-mates' suspicion and hostility toward Colby, and a mate so scarred by his abusive past that he doesn't know how to be free. All Tristan can do is try.
