A year has passed since Pete and Vegas split up. A year when two ex-lovers, now strangers, begin to heal their hearts and understand the past. A year of forgiveness and trying to move forward, but will it be possible, when they still love each other so strongly?
They say love will win over everything, but what can happen when Vegas finally finds Pete only to discover that his Beta is in a new relationship? Is he truly happy, as he appears to be? Or is it just another illusion, hiding a heart that still aches and longs for the Alpha he once loved?
Pete had spent months preparing for this moment, knowing he couldn't hide forever. But now, standing face-to-face with the man who had once been his world, why did he feel so breathless? Why, after everything, did Vegas still have such a powerful hold on him?
After everything that happened, could they ever truly push the past behind, or would the weight of it crush any chance of moving forward?
