Warning- this is a prequel to an existing series. If interested, it is suggested you read Broken Mates, Strength in Darkness, and Of Gods and War. It is not necessary to read the series to understand this book, nor is it necessary to read this to understand the series. It is purely a love story. Darrin Jackson has known his entire life what he was destined to be- Alpha of the Diamond Sky pack. Like his father, and his father before him. It runs in the family, and Darrin has no choice but to accept the role. At five years old, he already knows what life has in store. Except for one thing. Charlotte. The minute she asked him to move his foot from her chair, Darrin's life changed forever. Growing up together was a breeze. Learning what love is like from a young age is what made Darrin confident to tell Charlotte he knew they were mates at thirteen years old. Well, until his true mate called to him, leaving Darrin caught between his love and his mate. For Charlotte, losing Darrin meant gaining something different. Possibly better. Brady.
