Taylor: Seb is marrying someone else in a few weeks. I've known it my whole life, and I stopped fighting it years ago. I know exactly what I am to him: his best friend, his constant, the one he takes into the forest for his pre-wedding Seeking because of course he does. It's always been us.
One week. A campfire. A lean-to by the lake in the cold Montana spring. One week to hold it together before everything changes.
I could live with loving a man I couldn't have. What I couldn't survive was losing him for good.
I didn't expect him to kiss me back.
Sebastian: Taylor has always been there. Since before I understood what that meant. The marriage was arranged before I could walk, and I never questioned any of it. I never questioned why a wolf shifter showing up at Taylor's house made my head buzz and my chest go tight. I never questioned why I couldn't keep my eyes off him by firelight.
I named him in front of both packs. Said his name into that silent hall with every family and ally watching, and watched the shock cross his face from thirty feet away.
I have no idea what happens next. I only know I'm not walking it back.
A standalone M/M shifter romance set in the forests of Southern Montana. Fated mates. Arranged marriage. Friends to lovers. HEA guaranteed.
