"Someone has opened my box?" His voice was barely a whisper. "While I wasn't there?"

Hellhound Kolton was having a rough couple of months. After the person he thought was his mate died in hospital, Kolton didn't know which way was up, or what he was meant to do next. So finding out from Lord Hades that his collar box, the one mate indicator that hellhounds could rely on, had been opened in his absence, was a huge shock. While he was inclined to just zap his box back to its hiding place and worry about it later, Lord Hades was adamant it was up to him to track down the person who would be his mate forever.

Is my mate a thief, or does he just have really expensive tastes?

Doctor Simon Teeg had been going through hell for the past month, watching the man he knew was his mate care for another terminally ill patient. When the young man dies, and the mate disappears from the hospital, all Simon is left with is a box with a fancy - and very big - collar inside. It certainly wasn't a situation Simon could ever claim to have been in before.

"Your mate should be the one you turn to when times get tough. They will want to help you. That's what mates do..."

The situation wasn't ideal from the start, but Kolton and Simon did their best to make things work. Kolton worried that his bonds with Simon would never be like the ones he saw among his pack mates because Simon didn't need protecting or saving from anyone - and yet protecting was the core of who he was. Meanwhile Simon was hiding a huge secret that had serious ramifications about the core of who he was as well. Would they ever be on the same page? And what do eggs have to do with anything?
