The three fundamental laws of Northwood High were clear. A rumour in motion tends to remain so unless asked to shut up. The amount of respect you receive equalled popularity. And the third, and the most supremely infallible one, Wilder Collins was the best kisser ever. After verifying the third law, Nico finds his long-suppressed feelings for his former best friend return. With trying to hide his sexuality from his mom, maintaining his grades and awkwardly third-wheeling between his two best friends, he already has a lot on his plate. A sizzling scandal involving Wilder is definitely not what he needs. So of course, it's best to forget about the kiss. Hence naturally, it's the only thing he can think about.

{Valleyside Pack} Aaron was found by a small pack, abandoned and alone when just a pup. The Beta family took him in and raised him as their own when they couldn't have a pup of their own. He was loved and cherished, happy and spoiled. His twin wasn't. Cody was found by a group of rogues hours after the pack arrived. He was found hidden a couple feet from his brother. The pack hadn't thought there were two pups and with the smoke clear in the air and the roaring fire, he wasn't scented or heard. Cody was left forgotten. He grew up mistreated and tortured, abused and sold. When Cody escapes his brutal life, he finds himself trespassing on a pack far east. What he didn't know was the fact that the twin brother he never knew existed lived in that same pack. With rogues on his tail, and a brother that asks too much, Cody didn't believe his life would turn into a battle for freedom. And when he happens to find his mate, he knows everything he now has will be ripped from him. After all, he IS property and the brand above his heart reminds him of that. (This is not Twincest, okay?)
