So everyone fled after that ;) so now the current date in this will take part in early 2013. Enjoy!☆

Honeymoons for werewolves aren't easy. You've got to worry about the changes, about food, about privacy, about the extensive damage bills caused during rough 'cuddles'... not to mention the kids. And on top of that, there's rumours about a disease spreading through all bitten werewolves? And Nick, Anne's mate, thinks he's twenty years younger again? Things were never simple with Nick. Now they're going to go to a whole new level of complicated. Nick, an American, and Anne, an Australian, have had a crazy three years. Met in New York, fell in love, Anne was kidnapped, assulted for ten months, and escaped. Somehow managed to keep pregnant between attacks, marriage, and hunting the bastard down that hurt her. On top of that, she had to come to terms with being a werewolf, and that it wasn't as fluffy, easy or sweet as some movies liked to make out. It was a pretty steep learning curve. Nick, her husband, has been making it easier. He isn't a high ranking werewolf, he isn't ever going to become an Alpha, and he is sometimes pretty clueless about things. She is more than happy with that. So they delayed their honeymoon for some pretty good reasons. But two years of 'hidden' groping and attempts at some private time while the toddlers are set onto unsuspecting family has gotten everyone more or less sick of it. So two weeks away should be fun. Right?

In the city of Veylour, everyone has a place, a purpose, and a scent that marks them for life. Alphas hold power. Betas serve. Omegas are prized, controlled, and, if unregistered, hunted. Eiran is an omega who has learned how to survive by hiding in plain sight. Living on the edge of the Midrings, he wears suppressants and scent blockers that leave him blank, invisible, untouchable. Safe. At least, that's what he tells himself. Blunt, sharp-tongued, and careful with his words, Eiran has built a life where he doesn't have to feel... until the city shifts and his carefully maintained walls begin to crack. Kael is an alpha enforcer from the Spires, tall, commanding, and marked by a past he's spent a lifetime trying to outrun. His eyes, midnight blue flecked with gold, see more than most people realize. He hunts unregistered omegas, but one presence (subtle, fleeting, impossible to place) begins to haunt him. A ghost in the Midrings, a nameless scent he cannot forget. Two lives moving in parallel, worlds apart yet destined to collide. One wrong move could expose Eiran to a world he has spent years escaping, and Kael's instincts tell him that finding this invisible omega might be the one chance to make right the failures of his past. But survival comes with sacrifices. Trust comes with pain. And sometimes, even the blankest scent carries the weight of a bond neither of them expected. Secrets. Lies. Heat suppressed. Hearts exposed.
