"Kiss or Kill?"
"Karma."

Broken by a pack that was supposed to be home, Tamiko swore to never attend any mating ceremonies. He knew they would eventually reject him, so he didn't want to risk the heartbreak even more.

However, a lonely best friend in need of a mate and a bunch of convincing later, Tamiko found himself at the entrance of the mating ceremony.

As if that wasn't enough, the midnight moon gave him what he didn't want the most. A mate. But not just any mate. Gabe; the alpha's dark son, a man who made it his mission to make Tamiko's life harder, and also the man Tamiko hated more than life itself.

As their eyes glowed in the night, Tamiko didn't see a mate, he saw a very rare opportunity; a chance to run, or be the one that Gabe ran from.

He chose the latter.

Like a gift from the moon, he realized the one thing that could burn down the Grealor pack.

He bore the mark of lycan royalty, more precisely, King Zaffuto's mark.

The outcast, Tamiko, was the lost lycan prince.

Coming back from the battlefield was as relieving for Kosta as it was for Tamiko. This was the longest they had stayed apart without fighting each other.


This was just them trusting each other and waiting for the other to come back home. It was more than anyone could have expected from them, honestly. It was as if the pieces of the puzzle were finally coming together again.


"You look like food, Kosta," Tamiko mused when they pulled back and he got to look at his Erasthai one more time. It was almost like he didn't care about the blood splattered on Kosta's armor, or even the way his shield was filled with spears.


All he cared about was how hot the man had come back, with a disheveled man bun and a pretty smile that took Tamiko's breath away without the Lycan Chief even trying as hard. It was a beautiful moment, and Kosta let them live in it.
