description: You belong to me and I know it down deep in muscle and bone where my wolf lives.Avery Rhine isnt an average homicide detective with the Chicago PD. In fact Avery isnt an average anything. Sure as an omega he knows hes at the bottom of the food chain but thats never slowed him down. Hes got a great life complete with a loving family and a best friend whod take a bullet for him so what more could he possibly want or need? Except maybe for the world to change. And to find someone to spend more than one night with but that isnt high on his list of priorities. Hes never been one to believe in destiny or whatever else the fantasies sell about there being someone special out there meant just for him.Then a chance encounter at a party changes everything.Graeme Davenport has no delusions about finding his true mate. The consensus is that if an alpha doesnt find their other half by the time theyre thirty the chances of it ever happening go from slim to none. Hes not a mere alpha though; Graeme is a cyne who sits at the pinnacle of lupine hierarchy so hes obligated by tradition and duty to choose an omega now sign a contract and bond with him. Love is not part of the equation.When Graeme and Avery meet their fierce attraction to each other flies in the face of reason and logic. Averys intense physical reaction to the alpha is something hes never experienced before while Graeme who has always been the soul of discretion loses all his inhibitions to desire for the man he wants to possess. They are two very different men trying to navigate expectations separate reason from innate primal drive and do it while working together to solve a murder.It will take everything they are to find a middle ground and to learn to trust in a fated kind of love.
