beneath the surface

quinn is simple-minded: he'd created a life for himself that was very... comfortable. so, when the very thing he, as a wolf, wants to avoid his whole life comes barreling down on him- will he accept it?

quinn refuses to let himself fall for someone that he didn't choose for himself. to him, love is a risk he's not willing to take, a vulnerability he's afraid to confront. scars from his past have taught him that loving someone only leads to uncertainty and pain.

as quinn and avery's lives become increasingly intertwined, quinn struggles to maintain the walls he's built around his heart, even as avery quietly chips away at them. torn between the pull of his wolf's feelings and the fear of what happens when he gives in, his internal battle becomes more painful than the love he's trying to avoid.

how long can quinn deny what's been there all along? will avery wait forever, or will quinn's rejection of the mating bond push him away for good?

this is an omegaverse book. that being said; it will include usual implementations of the genre. read at your own risk.
