Mikhail didn't want to be a Trimate. Having two mates was just plain hard and when Elena turned out to be an Elemental Alpha, he'd had no choice but to leave with her, and his other mate Ethan, for the Midnight pack, where they would be trained to enhance their gifts together. With Bella and Raeann living in Howling, and his mother found murdered in the violet fields, Mikhail must make his choice. Accept and mark his mates, or lose everything that matters to him, in the second book of the poison and thorn series, Blood curse.
