Where Heart Beat Wild: an MM A/B/O Dark Paranormal Romance of Found Family Farel Devotion and Bonds with Bite (The Blackthorne Chronicles)

The Court calls it protection. He calls it a cage. His mate calls it war.

Eris has survived the vampire Court through patience, discipline, and visions of a wolf with kind eyes who would one day set him free. When House Vale moves to force a mating bond that will sever any chance of claiming his true mate, Eris makes a desperate choice: run to the wolf pack that just proved omegas can fight back—and pray they let him in.

Aspin has worn Eris's protection necklace since the night he watched his mate get dragged away. He's felt Eris through their magical connection for days, a constant ache of warmth and wanting. When Eris appears at Northwood's ward line seeking sanctuary, Aspin doesn't hesitate. He speaks Eris across the threshold and claims him in front of his Alpha, his pack, and the Court guards sent to retrieve him.

But Vale doesn't lose gracefully.

With a forced bonding ceremony looming at dusk and ancient magic designed to make Eris lose control, the vampire lord will stop at nothing to reclaim his most powerful omega—even if it means bleeding wolves to do it.

Northwood has already survived witch fire and demon bonds. They've set precedent that omegas can choose their own futures.

Now they'll prove that love forged across faction lines is worth fighting for.
