How can wolf shifter Erik Masters form a relationship with his mate, Clark Perry, when Clark's trust issues are even more deeply rooted than Erik's?

Wolf shifter Erik Masters has had a lot of sleepless nights since he visited the illegal compound in New Mexico that houses scores of newly made wolves. The atrocities he witnessed on site have been weighing heavily on his mind. When he learns that another convoy of these shifters will shortly be arriving at the sanctuary, his anger and sense of hopelessness increases. Worse still is the news of a recent discovery―some of the shifters have come from a different compound, but its location is as yet unknown.

When special ops leader Jace Bryson commands Erik to befriend one of the new shifters so that they may discover the new compound's whereabouts, Erik's reaction is one of disbelief. Horrific events in his past have left him feeling bitter and jaded. He doesn't trust strangers and is far more at ease in his own company. When he discovers that Clark, the shifter he's been assigned to, is his mate, Erik's problems have only just begun. Clark Perry is far from an average shifter, made or otherwise. It appears his trust issues are more deeply rooted than Erik's and Clark might just have an agenda of his own.
