She teased him and pleased him, but Nate has been missing since then. Her fear of becoming clingy constantly kept her from risking her heart and asking for more than a couple of hours of passion. Nathan Wolfe noted to Carla. She is his mate. But problems in pack politics force Nate to ignore everything and stay away. Everything would have remained that way if not for his sister. She warns that Carla needs him more than he knows. And then the time comes to find out one little secret that only his wolf can sniff out. There's no turning back anymore. But getting the woman he cares about to let her guard down could be his undoing.
