Sometimes the most dangerous risk is the one worth taking.

Mackenzie never expected to move to the Allegheny Forest amongst shifters, let alone to fall for one. He’s still trying to find his place where he’s not sure he belongs, but when Nico walks into his life, Mackenzie can’t resist him.

As the bobcat alpha heir and a carrier, Nico has spent his life making other people happy. When he meets Mackenzie, he knows he should walk away because having a human partner will complicate his future. Instead, he hides who he is from Mackenzie and falls hard for the only man who sees him for who he really is.

Their secret relationship consists of stolen moments and night visits, but the forest isn’t safe. Silas is still bent on destroying the fragile peace between territories, and he won’t give up. When Nico and Mackenzie find out that Nico is pregnant, they know they won’t be able to continue hiding their relationship—and neither of them wants to.

Mackenzie and his family were about to drive in a forest full of shifters.

He looked out of the car window. Did it make him nervous? Yes, it did. It didn’t matter that he and his family had shifters in their family tree. He’d never met those shifters. He was happy that his grandmother would finally be able to see her brother again, but Mackenzie wasn’t a shifter. No one in his family—in the family he knew—was. Besides, it wasn’t only that they were about to meet a bunch of shifters. They’d stay here for a while.

Mackenzie had always said he’d do anything for his brother, but he hadn’t expected his brother to ask him to fucking spend his vacation in a forest full of shifters.

He glanced at his father, who was driving. He was humming along with the radio, as if nothing strange was happening. They’d talked about what they were doing before coming, but Mackenzie didn’t understand why his family wasn’t more nervous. They were eager to see Dean, and of course, Mackenzie’s grandmother wanted to see her brother again after decades, but this was still a massive step. No other humans had been allowed into the forest since it had been closed off. The only reason they were was that they had shifters in their family tree. Their grandmother’s brother lived in the forest.

Mackenzie had nothing against shifters. In fact, he didn’t think that keeping them all locked up in the forest was a good thing, but he didn’t know a lot about them. He knew they could turn into animals, and that was about it. He was curious, but also worried.

Was coming here a good idea?

It hadn’t been a real choice for him. His family was here, so, of course, he was, too. If it had only been Dean, he might not have decided to visit, even though he loved his brother, but everyone had wanted to come, and Mackenzie wasn’t letting them come alone when they didn’t know if they’d be welcomed.

So, here he was.

“There,” his mother said from the passenger seat. “Do you see the gate?”

Mackenzie snorted. “How can I not? It’s massive.”

“People really want to keep them inside, don’t they?”

“Maybe they have good reasons to do so.”

Mackenzie’s mother turned to frown at him. “Don’t say that. You know they’re as innocent as you and I are. The only reason they’re locked up in here is that they can turn into animals, just like Uncle Bellamy.”

“I didn’t mean that they’re monsters or anything like that,” Mackenzie tried to defend himself. “I’m just saying that we don’t know these people.”

“Well, we’re about to,” his father said.
