Kano remained quiet. The stoic expression on his face made Emon uncomfortable. He coughed, and his eyes bulged from his head when Kano took a step towards him. Leaning down, Kano grinned sinisterly at the sight of Emon shrinking in fear. He spoke through clenched teeth, “Never come near my mate again. If you see her, you cross the street. Don’t breathe her air. If you have a dream, and somehow, she ends up in it, you better wake up, because if you even think of thinking of her, I will rip your fucking head from your shoulders, and hang the rest of you for others to see.”

Labeled an abomination due to being a rare red wolf, Kano, the true Alpha of Blood Moon, spent a century hidden away from the world and not speaking. Giving his title to his brother, he stalked the castle, hiding in the shadows, becoming a myth among his pack as a brute who’d been killed. After his brother Cayden meets his mate, Kano agrees to come out of hiding long enough to meet her and accept his new sister-in-law. The meeting doesn’t go as planned when he accidentally stumbles upon her sleeping friend Essence, who turns out not only to be his mate, but the kick in the ass he needs.

Visiting her werewolf friend Anastasia in her country, human and party girl Essence, is all about the thrills. That is, until she wakes up to a shaggy-haired, rough looking man carrying her over his shoulder. He is a man who doesn’t speak, but whose beautiful pale blue eyes say so much to her. After finding out she’s his mate and he’s the true Alpha of Blood Moon, she makes a deal to stay six months to help with Anastasia’s wedding, and works to find him a replacement mate. Through a makeover and reintroduction into the world, Essence shows Kano that so much has changed. Yet as the six months come to a close, she finds herself less eager to leave the ruggedly tormented Alpha, who has already made it clear he doesn’t plan to ever let her go.
