playing dumb

Alpha Nate gets the shock of his life when he discovers that his mate is not only a male, but a weak, shy, and a pathetic one. Not only is Nate proudly homophobic, but he also passed a law a few years ago stating that any man found to be gay in the Pack must be banished. Alpha Nate believes the Moon Goddess made a grave mistake and rejects Blake. However, he starts to view Blake’s refusal to accept the rejection as part of a twisted game when the weak, shy, and people-pleasing loser promises to make Nate fall in love with him. What kind of twisted game is fate playing? How long can Nate resist Blake’s charms? How long will he remain loyal to his own law?
