let me help (bxb)

Avery Farrow, the 19-year-old Beta of the Crimson River Pack, is still reeling from the loss of his father, the former Beta. Struggling with grief, Avery drowns his pain in the reckless indulgence of partying, drugs, and drinking-habits that only spiral further out of control. His latest bad decision leads him to a strange, mysterious party where he's introduced to a foreign and exotic drug, pushing his addiction to new, dangerous heights.

But things take a darker turn when he's forcibly dragged to an event unlike any he's been to before. Not only are there other Alphas and Betas in attendance, but leaders from other shifter kingdoms are there as well-marking the first real interaction between the wolf shifters and the other species.

The situation becomes even more complicated when Avery discovers that his mate is none other than Colton Dorrin, the formidable leader of the Lion Kingdom.

Now, Avery must navigate the chaos of his addiction while coming to terms with his powerful and caring mate-someone who wants nothing more than to hold him and help him heal. But as Avery struggles with his inner demons, he realizes the path to redemption might just be as treacherous as the party he once thought was his escape.
