Maybe mates do meet when they most need it.

Jonas agreed to become a member of the new Harper clan mostly for the sake of his two best friends. Where they go, he goes, and they wanted to be Harper clan members, so here he is. The problem is that the clan needs more fighters, and even though he’s a Krsnik, he’s not a fighter. He half expects to get kicked out for that, but instead he’s invited to a family dinner at the leaders’ house.

Where he meets his mate.

Kendrick is hiding from an insistent eighteen-year-old who doesn’t take no for an answer. It’s ridiculous, but Devon doesn’t seem to understand that Kendrick only sees him as a friend, no matter how many times he tells him.

When Jonas catches his mate’s scent and walks in on two men kissing, he hopes his mate isn’t the bratty, too-young guy who snaps at him.

He’s not, but that doesn’t mean that Devon will give up easily. Kendrick knows that Devon is desperately looking for love, but he’s doing so in the wrong place. Between that and the phone call from his brother, his life starts to feel overwhelming.

And he’s not even bonded to Jonas yet.

Calyx didn’t mean to curse his brothers—really, he didn’t.

After their mother died, their family scattered on bad terms, and Calyx lost his adopted brothers. It’s not too much to want them to come home for Christmas, is it? It’s not Calyx’s fault that, in his haste and grief, he cast a curse that would kill them if they didn’t. Besides, he managed to change the curse to something non-lethal.

Griffith didn’t want to leave the house where he grew up, and he certainly didn’t want to leave Calyx, but his feelings were getting out of control. He needed space from Calyx to get over them, and he got that space.

He also got an expanding Christmas-colored tattoo on his chest.

Griffith knows Calyx meant well when he cast the curse, and while he’s happy to go home and see him, not all of their brothers will be. The problem is that they don’t have a choice if they don’t want to end up permanently colored in green, white, and red from head to toe.

Where there’s smoke, there are burning cookies.

Davey had one goal in mind when he joined the mutants—enter every lab he possibly could and find his best friend. Evan has been missing for years, but Davey never lost hope he would find him. He has to, because it’s his fault Evan ended up in a cage.

Orion only ever wanted a peaceful life, but instead, he was forced to be a hunter. Now he finally has a chance at the life he dreamed of, and he’ll cling to it with both hands.

When Davey bursts into Orion’s bakery to save him from burning cookies, he doesn’t expect to meet his mate. He’s not quite sure what to do with Orion when his focus should be on finding Evan, but maybe he can let go of his guilt and give himself and Orion a chance to be happy.

He and Orion might lose each other if he can’t.

Love is like the sky—sometimes clear and easy, sometimes dark and stormy.

Keylon thought he knew what to expect when he finally found his dragon. The others have lost their memories, and Winter isn't any different. He doesn't remember anything before he was hit by Carlyle's spell.

He doesn't remember Keylon.

There's a reason Winter didn't want to investigate the people who cast a seeking spell to find him. He knew nothing good would come out of it, and he was right. He's been told he was fully bonded to a man he doesn't remember and doesn't want, and now, he's stuck. The crush he has on his best friend doesn't help, but Winter knows what he wants, and it's not Keylon.

When it becomes clear that Winter doesn't want anything to do with Keylon, Keylon offers to break their bond. He doesn't want to lose his dragon, but Winter was never really his. Unfortunately, knowing that doesn't make it any easier.

Winter is stunned when Keylon offers to free him from their bond. He's also confused—what if he rejected Keylon for all the wrong reasons? What if he's making the biggest mistake of his life?

What if he can't fix this?

The sky feels like it's about to fall and destroy the dragons—but love can save them.

Penley has his dragon back, but he's not sure what to do with him.

When the mages followed the trail leading to Peyton—who's now Meyer—they didn't expect to find that he wasn't alone. Penley is glad to have Devon—Bennett—back, but he feels it would have been better to find one of the two dragons they're still missing instead. His ability to use earth magic isn't very useful, and he feels guilty that Keylon and Dallin are still missing their shields while he has his.

Bennett doesn't remember his past life, but he doesn't need to. He and Meyer followed the mages back to their castle, and he believes it was the right choice. Here, they're not only protected, but they're also given the chance to get to know other dragons.

And Penley.

Bennett wants Penley, but Penley is resisting. He doesn't feel like he deserves to be happy considering the circumstances, but Bennett wants to show him he does. He just needs Penley to give him a chance.

With two dragons still missing and Carlyle gearing up for trouble, the mages and the dragons they've already found can't afford to be distracted. Love isn't a distraction, though. It's a reason to fight, and both Bennett and Penley are ready to do just that.

A retired hunter doesn't deserve to be a Nix's mate.

When Teddy's best friend is kidnapped, Teddy doesn't hesitate to run to the rescue. He also doesn't hesitate to punch the kidnapper in the face.

Even though the man is his mate.

Perseus had a good reason to kidnap Leon—it's the only way for his brother to heal. Now, he and Orion are prisoners, and Perseus doesn't trust any of the people around him.

But Perseus doesn't have a choice. Orion decided that he wants to live in the village with the mutants, and Perseus isn't about to leave him behind. His mistrust of the leaders doesn't matter, and neither does his bickering with Teddy.

Teddy is torn over having a retired hunter as his mate and knows that whatever he does, Perseus won't make it easy. He doesn't believe he deserves any happiness, but Teddy is set to show him that he does.

If Perseus gives him a chance.

Love makes people do stupid things for the right reasons.

When Kyle gets kicked out of his pack, he's not surprised. Not only is he a tiger shifter living amongst wolves, but with his mother dead, the alpha has no reason to keep him. Kyle is also not surprised when his family decides to follow him. He needs to keep them safe, and he can only think of one way to do that.

Take over his father's pride.

Dennis's life is finally the way he wants it. With Alpha Carter gone and Gal in charge of the pride, Dennis was able to open his bakery and secure his future. He'll do pretty much anything to keep things that way.

Maybe even give up on his mate.

Kyle didn't expect to find another man sitting behind his father's desk, or to like that man. He certainly didn't expect Gal to let him go after he demanded the pride be handed over to him or for the alpha to try to get to know him.

Dennis and Kyle will have to choose between the pride and their mate, and neither of them knows how to do so.

Compromises are necessary, even between mates.

When Chris told his friend that he didn't want a mate, he didn't expect to meet his mate anytime soon. But here he is, a human mate to a Vila, and he's not sure what to do about it. He might not have wanted a mate, but he has one now, and being Gary's only chance at bonded happiness is a heavy weight.

Gary only ever wanted to be safe. After losing his clan and being on the run for years, he's found a place to call home, but nightmares plague him. When he meets Chris, he's delighted to have found his mate, but Chris is human and a hunter. Gary has already lost everyone he loves—can he bear to be with Chris when Chris has no plans to stop hunting Kudlaks?

Will Chris have to choose between what he feels is his duty and his mate? Or can Gary accept the way his mate willingly puts himself in danger?

The time to fight has come.

Apollo never minds his own business. What would be the fun in that? He's the god of the sun, and people are usually happy to see him—but never Set. No, Set looks tempted to strangle Apollo every time they spend time together, and Apollo loves that.

Set doesn't know what to make of Apollo. The sun god is annoying and clingy, no matter how hard Set tries to push him away. When Apollo decides to move in with the Egyptian pantheon—in Set's suite of all places—Set has a hard time keeping him at arm's length.

But no matter how hard Apollo tries to get into Set's pants, the final fight looms on the horizon. Apophis is threatening to end the human realm and the Egyptian pantheon. Set, Ra, and their allies need to face their greatest challenge.

And risk everything to save themselves and humanity.

The enemy of your enemy might just be your friend.

Charles is getting back on his feet. After losing almost his entire family in an attack on his clan, he's found a new home in Mayport. He might be a dragon, but he finds that living with bears suits him just fine. He should be happy, and he would be.

If only he didn't have to deal with the knowledge that the coven that attacked his clan is now planning to attack the pack.

Red is happy to have found a home after his time living on the streets. He wants to bring his grandfather to Mayport, but not until he's sure the pack is safe.

Luckily, Chance is a good alpha, and when the opportunity presents itself to find allies within the coven, he takes it. The problem is that no one knows if they can trust these mages.

If they can't, it will mean the end of the pack.
