The key to his humanity
is finding his place in the pride.
Sydney came to Sanctuary believing he wasn’t anything other
than the runt of the litter. Strengths? According to the others, he had none.
But one special shifter seems to think otherwise—Nat. To bring out the brave
side if Syd, he’ll need to trust.
Nat has always known he’s a beta. No question. He’s drawn to
Syd and wants to find out if their existence at the Sanctuary should be more
than platonic. When he and Syd are called upon to bring back more lions from
the petting zoo, he not only sees Syd’s true potential, but realizes his true
feelings for the fellow shifter.
Can these two shifters forge an alliance and grow together or
will their heated experiments between the sheets be the end for them both?

“I’m not sure who I’m attracted to either. I’m new at the same
things as you.” Nat met Syd’s gaze and smiled. “I haven’t tried to experiment
with anyone.”
“You haven’t?” Syd’s eyes widened. “But Axl said…”
“Axl is trying to establish his dominance. Markas is the alpha
and Axl is trying to be the beta. He wants to be invaluable to Markas, but he
also wants to keep the rest of us—you and me—beneath him. I don’t care. Why?
Because I know I’m not at the top. I’m happy being in the middle.” He smiled
again and eased his arm around Syd. “But you’re his brother and younger. He
knows he can bully you. He might not call it that, but that’s what he’s doing.
You’re not any less of a man or lion than he is and no, I haven’t fucked him.
Haven’t kissed him, either.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah, oh.” He inhaled and breathed in the scent of Syd’s
cologne. His lion growled within him and clawed at him. The animal wanted Syd.
Nat licked his lips. The urge to kiss Syd overwhelmed him. A thought occurred
to him. “We’re going to be needed in a couple of days when John and Markas save
the next batch of lions. There could be females in the bunch, I don’t know.
What I do know is that I’m attracted to you.”
“You do?” Syd’s voice broke and his eyebrows rose. His lips
parted, but no other sound came out.
“Uh-huh.” Nat fought to stay level. Being so close to Syd
knocked his senses inside out. He curled his fingers under Syd’s chin. “Since
we’re both figuring things out, why don’t we do it together? You explore with
me and I learn all about you.”
Syd’s breath feathered over Nat’s cheeks. Up close, Nat noticed
the flecks of brown and green in Syd’s golden irises. God, the man was
handsome.
“I—you want me?” Syd splayed his hand on Nat’s thigh. “Like the
same way Markas and John are together?”
“Yes. We’ll figure out what we want. It’s a learning
experience.” One he wanted to have over and over again with Syd. He tipped his
head and brushed his lips over Syd’s. Just one touch wasn’t going to be enough.
He needed so much more. He crushed his mouth against Syd’s, just as he’d seen
Markas and John do. The moment he touched Syd’s lips, sparks shot through his body.
Damn. How had he not tried this before? How had he not noticed Syd before? He
nipped Syd’s bottom lip, then bumped noses with him. The fumbling and newness
of the act spurred him on. They were learning together and he couldn’t get
enough.
Nat moaned and Syd swallowed the sound. Being together like
this pleased Nat. Although he craved another kiss from Syd, he broke the
connection.
“Wow.” Syd caressed his fingertips over his mouth. “My lips are
all tingly. Like I ate something really hot.”
“I
know I did.” He rested his forehead against Syd’s. There would be so much more
to learn along the way. Plenty of bumps and confusion as they realized their
needs, but he welcomed whatever the future had in store.
