title: Bound By Fate
author: Cullen, Claire
description: Every day of Dylan's life is the same as the last. He longs for adventure, for something different. So when he's rescued by Callix— a charming, dark-haired stranger— he finds himself inexplicably drawn to him, leaving Dylan torn between loyalty to his grandfather and the tantalizing world that Cal belongs to.
  When Cal, second eldest of the Evenfall brothers, goes to investigate the mysterious death of a wolf shifter in his territory, the last thing he expects to find is his mate. Dylan is nothing like what Cal expected— shy, naive, and hopelessly human. While Cal comes to grips with the reality of having a human male for a mate, his brother Thane is contending with his mate Fionn and the birth of their first child.
  
  But when a local Coven is implicated, Cal finds himself under pressure to discover who is behind the shifter's death before conflict breaks out between Coven and Pack. The more he investigates, the stronger his sense that things aren't what they appear to be, his blue-eyed mate included. He and Dylan are drawn closer with every meeting, every touch, and every kiss. Will Dylan be able to accept who and what Cal is? And is Dylan all that he seems or something much more?
