Quinn Holstin is the daughter of Liam and Angel Holstin and the twin sister of Malin. They are the 5th and 6th children born to their parents. After her brother took over as Alpha, her older sister became the acting Luna until Rich found his mate. Quinn has led a charmed life, always protected by her father and three older brothers, never needing to take on a role in the pack since first Leana, then Emlyn, took the role of Luna. Emerson Gunnar is the Alpha of Safe Haven and son to Eli and Grace Gunnar. He took over as Alpha for his father nearly two years ago, however, his father still struggles with letting go. Their pack is well established and continues to take in those who need refuge as their name implies and Emerson is ready to have his father let go. The only thing Emerson is missing is Quinn. He’s been waiting for her to turn eighteen since he did two years ago when he recognized her as his mate. However, Emerson is still reeling from the problems that occurred with his sister and his sister’s mate, Richard, the Alpha of a neighboring pack in their alliance. Emerson is unwilling to do anything that could be considered inappropriate with Quinn, wanting her to know that he respects her. However, Emerson’s unwillingness to show any sort of intimacy to Quinn causes her to feel as though Emerson doesn’t want her as a mate. Can Emerson relax his rigid ways before he hurts his mate beyond the ability to repair it? Will he be able to show Quinn exactly how much she means to him, sealing their bond and bringing them together as partners and lovers, rather than Guardian and Alpha?

My wife, Cassia, was a wood nymph. A cursed one. Forbidden to love mortals. But she fell for me anyway. Every time her heart fluttered for me, the gods struck her down with agony. She willingly endured that torture ninety-nine times just for a chance to be with me. Then, demons dragged me to Tartarus. Hellfire and whips became my sun and moon. Right as I was about to break, I remembered a prayer Cassia taught me—a desperate whisper to the gods. It finally worked. But instead of help, I heard Cassia talking to her patron goddess, Hecate. "Cassia, how could you bargain with the Furies? You let them drag Aiden to Tartarus!" Cassia's voice choked with desperate tears. "Adonis was supposed to suffer this fate. But he's a fragile mortal. This would destroy his soul! I had no choice if I wanted to save him." "Aiden is a child of prophecy. His soul is strong. The Fates watch over him. He'll survive." "Once I save Adonis, I can stay in the mortal realm forever. Then, I'll use my eternal life and all my love to repay the hell he's enduring for me." My heart shattered. As the monsters closed in on me, I stopped fighting. I gave up.

I was Apollo’s most devoted follower, the lover he handpicked from a sea of worshippers. With me, he’d always shed his divine arrogance. He was so tender, so attentive. I actually thought he loved me to the bone. Until seven days before our Consort Ceremony, when I used my gift of prophecy to peek into our future together. I expected to see a lifetime of blinding love. Instead, I saw him violently tangled in the sheets with my adopted sister, Cassandra. Wrapped around him, Cassandra giggled. "You're so good to me, my Lord. Thanks to you, I'll finally get my sister's Sight and take her place as High Priestess." And Apollo—my god, my lover—smiled down at her with pure adoration. "Whatever makes you happy, little bird. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have played pretend for this long, let alone allow her to become a god's consort." In that split second, my heart turned to ash. My faith shattered into a million pieces. With seven days left until the ceremony, I didn't confront them. Instead, I fell to my knees before the altar of Hades, Lord of the Underworld. "I offer you my gift of prophecy. I will be your most loyal follower in exchange for your sanctuary." "Please. Take me away from here. Take me somewhere Apollo can never find me."
