Sergi has stopped lying to himself: he's had a crush on a guy for a while.

Things seem to be looking up when the guy turns out to be an omega and he agrees to take Sergi as his bondmate. But it isn't as simple as alpha meets omega and they live happily ever after.
For one thing, Ray has four other alphas. For another, one of them seems intent on ignoring every one of the conventions alphas are meant to live by. Sergi should be angry and he's certainly worried, but the more lines Iesu crosses, the closer he gets to the person Sergi has always been afraid to be.
Is Sergi brave enough to face himself and does Iesu have the patience to wait him out while he does?

An interlude in The Stars of the Pack series. It can be read directly after "Omega for the Pack" or at any other point in the series.
