The Swan Who Flew After a Wolf — Scarlet Hyacinth

Mate or mistake? Twenty years back, werewolf Anson lost his first love to another man. Now, he realizes his true mate is actually his ex's son, swan-shifter Reed. He knows that no one would ever believe his feelings for Reed are real. Wishing to protect Reed from the inevitable fallout, Anson restrains himself from claiming the swan. Reed is disheartened by his mate's refusal, his spirit and self-confidence destroyed by his fears. He knows Anson no longer loves Reed's father, but the rejection hurts him deeply. Anson's injury in a previous expedition makes both men realize life is too short for doubts. They surrender to their desires, but Reed's family doesn't trust their unexpected bond. And then, a new interfering factor appears, the werewolf's son, one Anson didn't even know existed. When the boy's mother insists Anson is really her mate, can the couple survive the challenges thrown their way?
