Words of love weren’t voiced, even if they were felt. Until everything changed.

Cocky. No word better described Solomon. He projected the playboy image, but only he knew the truth. Deep inside, he wanted what his brother and friends had - a mate. Lilah was fiercely independent and distrusting of paranormals out of necessity. One wanted a mate, and the other didn’t. But fate didn’t ask for their opinion. They could only fight what was meant to be for so long before the inevitable happened. If they managed to stay alive, maybe they would learn what it meant to be fated.

The stockings weren't hung. The tree was in disarray. Who needed decorations anyway? Two vampires were fighting. Two mates were taking pictures. While a wolf pack watched on taking bets on who'd win.
