Chapter One

“I can’t believe I let you talk me into this.” Anthony Carrow looked

around the room and thought about walking back out. It took all his effort

not to gape like a landed fish.

He felt conspicuous in his leather pants and no shirt. The outfit

exposed both his pierced left nipple and the brilliant memorial tattoo on

his back. But the feeling faded as he realized less people were looking at

him than at the young man who walked past with a leash attached to the

harness around his cock. A leash held in the firm hand of a slim man with

silvery hair and a designer suit who walked with the smooth grace of

werekind.

In reality, beneath his magical disguise he drew less attention than the

other dozens of men standing around like they were waiting to take their

place in the Mr. Beautiful pageant.

The thought that this was all a horrible mistake pinged around

Anthony’s head in a dizzying fury.

His nerves strummed so loudly in his head he was surprised that the

sound didn’t echo off the ceiling of the crowded bar.

Panicked he turned to flee.

A large hand clamped on his shoulder holding him in place.

“No escaping. You promised you’d come with me and we both know

you need to get out more.” said Steven, Anthony’s best friend, his eyes

following the pair as they passed. “You’ve barely dated since Drew died.

Even with your current look you’ll catch someone’s eye.” He flashed

Tony a sympathetic smile. “Though I do appreciate the effort to not show

me up with your gorgeousness. I have a feeling it was more to hide

yourself than to help me in any way.”

Tony stifled his laughter at Steven’s rueful expression. Although he

agreed to accompany his friend to the club, he’d cast a strong suppression

spell on his appearance so he wouldn’t stand out too much from the

crowd. He didn’t need a stampede in his direction on his first night out.

The spell dulled his gleaming golden hair to a dirty blond and his

natural glowing skin to a light bronze. Features usually heart-stoppingly

fine, roughened under the weight of the magic changing his normally

beautiful features into a pleasing but not memorable face. Everything else

he left as nature made it. He was now attractive enough to get a man but

not gorgeous enough to overshadow his handsome friend.

But just the thought of dating again sent pain ripping through Tony’s

chest. These men were gorgeous, sexy even, but they weren’t Drew.

Images of his dead lover sprang before his eyes like a moving picture,

peeling back his careful indifference to expose a loss so deep it threatened

to drown him. Taking a deep breath, Tony steadied his pulse and forced a

reassuring smile on his lips hoping to stave off the worried expression in

Steven’s eyes.

Surely three years was long enough. He could do this. He was ready.

Maybe if he chanted it a few more times in his head it would become true.

“You aren’t asking me to go out more. You dragged me here because

you want moral support for your werewolf mate hunt. Why you want to

mate is beyond me.”

He’d lost his to a heart attack. Tony didn’t want to imagine what

would happen if Steven found and lost his love. Wolves mated for life,

something that could be good or bad depending on your mate.

“You have something against wolves?” Steven’s tone was as

challenging as any wild wolf, his eyes feral in the club lights.

Tony felt an uncomfortable number of gazes turn towards him. Great

just what he wanted, to insult a room full of supernaturals. A low growl

sounded near them.

“Don’t be an idiot. We’ve been friends forever. If I had a problem with

wolves you’d know it by now. I have something against mates.”

“Oh don’t start that.” Steven’s voice wasn’t unkind but there was an

underlying firmness in his tone telling Tony his best friend was running

out of patience. “Just because your lover died doesn’t mean you can’t find

another. Besides if you don’t start dating again your parents will intervene

and I’ve met your parents, they scare the crap out of me.”

Tony shivered at the thought of his parents’ matchmaking skills. “The

last time they fixed me up it was with a fairy.”

Steve snorted. “I thought you didn’t like labels.”

“No. He was an actual fairy you know from Faeland.”

That got Steven’s full attention. “What happened?”
