Tooth and Claw — Willa Okati

Lewis, Alpha master of the Wasp Lake wolf pack, knows that finding his mate should be a joyous event. But former army ranger Jacobi isn't an Omega. Or even a wolf. He's a grizzly bear shifter, and Alpha to the bone.

Falling for an outsider is risky, especially given Lewis's secret. He yearns to be an Omega, not an Alpha, and has never met anyone willing to accept the man he really is behind the Packmaster's mantle. As for Jacobi, it's been a long time since he's been loved so well that it made him want to be a better man.

The pair try loving in secret -- for a while -- but know that's not going to be enough to satisfy them forever. When Jacobi adopts an orphaned lynx cub and Lewis becomes the toddler's second father, they realize something has to be done. But what?

Nature is red in tooth and claw -- but sometimes true love really does save the day.
