Tre Marshall never wanted to be alpha of Blackthorn Pride, but he was assigned the position by the Feline Council. Neck deep in a messed up pride, Tre never dreamed he would find not one mate, but two. Dennis and Nyle come into his life and end up being a temptation Tre can't resist.
Dennis has already spent too many years being told what to do. When he finds himself mated to an alpha, he has to wonder if fate is laughing at him. When he discovers that the man who has been stalking him is also his mate, he knows fate is insane.
Nyle Frasier knew Dennis was his mate the moment they met, but the gorgeous redhead denies him at every turn. Worse yet, Dennis runs from him. When Nyle discovers that the new pride alpha is also his mate, and that the man is protecting Dennis from him, Nyle realizes that his actions might have seemed overbearing and goes about trying to prove he is a worthy mate to both men.
When danger arrives on their doorstep, they have to work together to end the threat to their mating. Along the way, they will discover a mystery that threatens every shifter alive. But before they can solve it, they have to keep each other alive, and that's not easy when they don't know where the threat is coming from.
The focus of this eighth book in the ‘Scent of a Mate’ series is Tre, another one of the many Marshall brothers who is struggling to find his feet now that the evil Alpha Aldo Marshall is out of the picture. But as much as the cruel bast*rd is dead, the consequences of what he did are still affecting many people, and some of the men and women he worked with are trying to maintain his legacy. Blackthorn Pride is still in disarray and Tre, much against his wishes, has been assigned as their alpha by the Feline Council.
Tre may be the alpha of Blackthorn Pride against his will, but now that he has taken over, he does the best job he can. But even a loyal and capable beta is not enough for him to become a success, so when a man storms into his office telling him he is a “perfect” personal assistant, Tre would, if things were normal, probably interview him. Instead, the quirky man called Dennis turns out to be Tre’s mate. Tre has no issue with that, but before they can settle down, things take a turn for the worse.
Dennis is an omega who spent five years being “trained” and told what to do. He has had enough of that, and is determined to get away from Nyle, a man who keeps stalking him, telling him he is his mate. Dennis would much rather be Alpha Tre’s mate, but deep down he does realize Nyle has a valid claim. But being stubborn and willful is part of Dennis’s DNA, so he isn’t going to make things easy for anyone.
Nyle is desperate to make Dennis his own. He has known Dennis is his mate for a while, but demanding his obedience is not working – much to his despair. Nyle has no clue what to do, and finding out he is also mated to Tre only makes things more complicated. Or maybe not – because Tre seems to have a better idea of how to handle their problem and maybe it’s time for Nyle to learn how to listen.
The situation between these three newly mated – and still struggling - men is already complicated enough, but it gets much worse when Dennis runs and ends up in catacombs nobody knew about. Someone has been working on a secret that will cause endless pain and suffering for omega shifters and submissive humans alike. It is enough to force Tre, Nyle, and Dennis to figure out how to work together, but that doesn’t make it easier for the three stubborn guys. It did make for a very adventurous and entertaining story for me to read!
If you like stories about unwilling alphas who find out they have two mates, if you’re up for a suspenseful story full of threats, secrets, and violence, and if you’re looking for an action-packed read that is as intense as it is hot, then you will probably like this novella.
