Yerad

Yerad never expected his mate to run seconds after they met, but that's what fate dealt him. Lenny insists on saying he doesn't want Yerad. Yerad wants to push for answers, but he's a liaison agent for the council, and his job is more important than a stubborn man who doesn't want him.

Lenny never wanted to meet his mate. His parents, the people who should have shielded him from the world, kicked him out, and he doesn't want to be hurt again. He knows that's what will eventually happen if he agrees to give Yerad a chance, and that's why he tells his mate to leave him alone.

Lenny's resolve weakens as his friends try to convince him to give Yerad a chance. When he finds out Yerad is working with his birth pride, he runs to the rescue, only to find out Yerad doesn't need him. Will Yerad forgive Lenny for pushing him away? Will Lenny manage to get over his fear of being hurt and give Yerad a chance? Or will fear have the upper hand and ruin their mating?
