Wraith has heard about the clan of bear shifters that were given sanctuary by his alpha. He even understands why. The group had been kidnapped, tortured, cursed, trapped in their bear forms, and used like mindless muscle by a circle of witches. Once the curse was lifted, the group needed a quiet, secluded place to hide out and reestablish their personal identities. Wraith just never thought he would have anything to do with them.
A chance meeting at a pack barbeque disrupts that notion. Meeting the brown bear shifter, Zion, Wraith knows his life is going to be turned upside-down…but in a good way. Zion is his mate. While Wraith is overjoyed with that knowledge, the reason the alpha invited them to the barbeque is a little more concerning. Alpha Declan is disturbed by the appearance of a traveling circus setting up in a nearby town, and he fears magick is involved. Due to their knowledge of magick, his alpha wants the bears to investigate.
Can Wraith keep Zion and his sleuth safe as they go against the very dangers that held them hostage for so long?
