Book 1 of: The Journey Series Isaack Smith built his life around two great loves: his passion for creating culinary masterpieces and his family. As the talented owner-chef of Per Ardua, one of Manhattan's most celebrated restaurants, he thought he had everything-a successful career, a loving husband, and their precious son Angel, conceived through surrogacy. But when his husband of five years abandons them for a wealthy woman, Isaack's carefully constructed world crumbles, leaving him to pick up the pieces while protecting their six-year-old son from the fallout. Determined to create a stable life for Angel, Isaack throws himself into his restaurant and fatherhood, his heart safely lock. Then comes the annual Children's Hospital fundraiser, where fate introduces him to Jadziel Zayas, the charismatic Puerto Rican CEO of Zayas Enterprises. As Jadziel's steady presence and genuine care for both Isaack and Angel begin to melt the walls around Isaack's heart, he faces his greatest challenge: learning to trust again. With Angel's innocent wisdom, the warm embrace of Jadziel's sister Diana-and the healing power of love, Isaack discovers that sometimes the most beautiful dishes are created from life's broken ingredients. This is a story about second chances, chosen family, and the courage to believe in love again-even when it comes in unexpected ways. ---------- This story comes entirely from my imagination.

Miguel can consider himself lucky among the unluckiest. Abandoned by his family, betrayed by his Alpha, rejected by his true mate, and banished from his pack, Miguel should have died years ago. Nobody has survived so much, yet Miguel and his wolf managed to outlast, spending ten years as a rogue until the Firestorm Pack gave them a chance for a new life. Although still bitter and haunted by his past, Miguel moved on, achieved the Beta position, and devoted himself to serving his new home and Alpha. He lives for his job and is used to his loneliness, and as a former rogue marked by years of brutality and bloodshed, expects to stay mateless for the rest of his life. Until, because of the treaty, he is forced to take a mate; after all, arranged matings for higher-ups of the pack are nothing extraordinary, but Miguel is reluctant. He doesn't feel ready to commit and build a life with a stranger. Feeling trapped but in no position to say "no," something changes the moment he sets his eyes on his future mate, and something starts returning to life inside his broken heart. Owen was born into a noble family, was raised cared for, and protected, but as every omega, he has been subjected to the constraints of Werewolf Laws. Omegas do as they are told; they don't ask questions; they don't make any choices; they obey and submit. And Owen was taught that lesson hard and now seems resigned to his fate. At best, he hopes he won't be treated harshly and maybe even respected by the man who was decided for him. Forced to accept each other, both mates try to make the best of their circumstances and navigate their daily life, shadowed by the painful past and a new threat lurking beneath the surface, still unnoticed but destined to shake the foundation of the werewolves' world. FIRST BOOK IN THE TRILOGY; COMPLETED AND STAND-ALONE STORY HEAVY TOPICS ARE MENTIONED AND DESCRIBED. None of the pictures used in this book are mine.

[A/N] This is a werecat story. Bxb. Gabriel is probably not the sharpest knife in the kitchen but he knows how to make some money in a tough situation. Crime. It's not really a career so much as a lifestyle, his.
