As a former military man, Blake Sabriel understands that his best friend, Dakota Hart, has a duty to serve the realm. Perhaps that's why Blake doesn't mind looking after Dakota's three rambunctious children, or perhaps it stems from the fact that Blake is in love with him. Regardless of the reasons, Blake knows that he wants Dakota to return home quickly and safely.
 
However, it's hard to concentrate on raising three kids and praying his best friend stays safe when his past is constantly lurking and just itching to sink its teeth into him again.

Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...

26 parts Complete Mature

Shadows are being destroyed with the attacker leaving nothing but their empty amulets behind. Commander Leo McKinley is set on getting to the bottom of this issue, and to do that, he needs the help of PhantomX researcher, Raven Sterling. Raven Sterling has gone through a lot of shit in his life. Now, he does what he wants, when he wants, and as long as he doesn't get attached to anyone in the process, it's all fair game. Except, the guy he's been screwing lately--Leo McKinley--has slowly began to take over his thoughts and fantasies. Before he has the chance to begin cutting the guy out of his life, Leo shows up at his office, begging for a consult on a case Raven can't refuse. Attachment has consequences that reach beyond Raven being betrayed again, however. With Leo around him in the office by day and in the bed by night, Raven's losing his grip on maintaining his distance. What's a guy to do when it comes down to helping stop the Shadow genocide or saving the life of one of the few people he actually gives a shit about?
