When Harry falls into a creature inheritance he is given a mate. A mate that has to accept him or else he will die a painful death. But when he is mated with his bestfriends older brother he leads himself into a whole world of trouble along with some changes on the way.

Harry thought he had it all figured out. He had won the war. He had defeated the Dark Lord, fulfilled the prophecy, just like he was supposed to. But they hadn't counted on Harry surviving. It interfered with their plans and with the age of inheritance drawing near he would soon become a threat to all their scheming. He worked so hard to become what they wanted only for a repeat of his parents fate, as he whom was trusted so greatly turned his back on the golden boy. A killing curse cast just as his back was turned courtesy of the man he'd trusted. The man he'd thought was dead. The man looked down at the boy with a sickening smile. "This is the end I'm afraid, Harry, my boy." But they should have learned by now that when it came to Harry, Death had a soft spot. After all, the killing curse usually left behind a body, didn't it?

Abused and beaten, Harry comes into a surprise inheritance and his world is changed forever. He finds out that Dumbledore is using him for his fame and fortune, the war is a lie, the light isn't as light as it seems, and what's this about Sirius still being alive?! Things take a surprising turn when Harry meets Tom and learns about creature mates. Is this the start of something wonderful or just another twist in Harry's unpredictable life? Will he finally find the love he's always craved and never gotten? Disclaimer: This story is based on characters and situations created and owned by J. K.
