Casersis yearns for a soulbond. But getting his wish may kill his new mate.
Casersis has been keeping a secret. And the longer he avoids Dustin's attempts to pry it out of him, the harder Dustin chisels away at Casersis's resolve. Throughout this push and pull, Dustin is so bored he's all but climbing the walls. To battle this, Casersis takes Dustin on a series of long-overdue dates, bringing them closer both emotionally and spiritually.
When Casersis finally admits his secret—that he yearns for a fabled soulbond—he's surprised that Dustin is completely fine with the idea of eventually trying for one. But when it happens by accident, neither are prepared for the fallout. Dustin still has enough human blood that the soulbond causes excruciating, debilitating flares of agony. And if the fits don't calm down soon, the soulbond may just kill him.
