"He was an assassin , not some kind of savior."  That's Elijah Kane. He's a bit of a sociopath. "You know, one of the last jobs i pulled someone asked me how i got like this. Mind, I'd pulled out his partner's heart. he had reason to question my methods." Yeah, just a bit of one.Life's thrown him many s--* obstacles. He along with his twin brother are Omegas. A very rare thing to have in a pack. Omegas are looked down upon. Not many people give them much thought because Omegas are thought to be weak. Well, weaker than any other shifter. As a child, Elijah's father sought to teach him and his brother Simeon a lesson. Several actually. He broke every bone "almost every bone" in Elijah's body to teach those lessons. He ruled his children with fear and with violence. Elijah and his brother escaped their old pack. When Elijah couldn't take being broken and weak anymore he acted . Those actions led to his and his brother's freedom. Everything comes with a price though. They'll always carry those old wounds.After that ordeal he and his brother made their way along in life. Both have the same career. Assassins. They kill people for money. They even kill shifters .Rowan Gregor is an alpha. A lone alpha. His entire pack was killed by hunters and because of that he has an intense hatred for hunters. He also shuts himself off from his "alpha" . He chooses not to accept his beast. Always referring the alpha to a separate part of him . They are not one in the same, at least to him. He's working for the CIA . He's hired to track and gather information on Elijah Kane. During one of their assignments , Elijah and Rowan come across each other. Already the tell tale sign of some kind of pull is evident between. But Rowan refuses to acknowledge it because one he's not the "alpha"  and two- he's not gay. So he claims. Rowan likes to deny himself a lot of things. Me thinks someone is spending much too much time on the Nile. ANYWAY-Rowan and Kane get into a bit of scuffle which results in Kane breaking some bones (not his) and Rowan shooting Kane with a silver. Et tu ,Brute?  When Rowan starts to feel the same effects that Kane is feeling because of the bullet , Rowan starts to freak out a little bit. Is Yue pulling some kind of evil trick on Rowan? Could she be so cruel? First his pack, now this? (Yue is the moon by way) . After a few more encounters with Elijah , Rowan and him get into a sticky situation and they have to work together in order to survive. And it's all about surviving. Rowan discovers that Elijah and him have quite a bit in common. They're both fighters, survivors. Life- Yue has dealt them hard blows. As Rowan starts spending more time with Elijah , he struggles to continue fighting the bond while Elijah struggles to maintain those walls over his heart. He doesn't want to put his life in the hands of another Alpha.When things start getting even more dangerous , another alpha from Elijah's past gives them a rather alarming ultimatum. Elijah and Rowan have to decide if they're going to stay and fight, or flee and run. Like they both did so very long ago. If they're going to fight their going to need more help. Which brings back Si- SImeon.  We learn in the story that Elijah's lost all contact with his twin. We also learn that even though Kane is an exceptional assassin , Si (Simeon) is even better. If they are going to win , both Elijah , Rowan , and that annoying alpha (he refers to himself as "the king" ) and his pack , then they are definitely going to need some reinforcements.Simeon's book is the next in the series. And i cannot wait.*I should mention that there is a really hot scene where Elijah performs oral sex on Rowan when Rowan is chained, to prove that Rowan is in fact gay. It's a good scene. A really good scene. They are a lot of good scenes.
