When a series of thefts escalates to murder, werewolf detective Dane Hunter and his fae partner, Julian Hart, must uncover the dark history of Spring Lakes before the past repeats itself and destroys them both. ***** A year after starting a life together, private detectives Julian and Dane investigate a string of strange burglaries plaguing the shops in downtown Spring Lakes. It seems simple enough, until a murder, a disappearing body, and the discovery of strange tunnels beneath the streets take the case for a supernatural turn. The new detective in town, Rian Halloran, may hold the key to unlocking the town's dark past and its surprising connections to Julian. As Julian learns more about the Fae side of his family history and Dane struggles with the responsibility of being an alpha, solving a mystery isn't the only thing at stake. Dane and Julian must reconcile past and present, navigate complicated families, and learn how to work together-all while stopping an incursion of strange creatures from the Fae underworld-if their partnership, and love, will survive.

Amara Johansen is a wolf shifter who was raised a Nomad, her family never settling down with a pack. That all changes on the cusp of her twenty-first birthday which marks the moment a shifter reaches maturity and can recognize their fated mate. What she does not know, is that her parents chose the Onyx Moon pack knowing Amara's future mate is the Alpha and has been waiting for her. Alpha Maddox Kahale had been counting the days since he first laid eyes on his mate years prior. Their age difference meant she would need to catch up to him and he wanted to give her the space to do that. Maddox wanted his mate more than anything but, he also wanted to give her the freedom to grow into her own and fall in love with him without the pressure of knowing their bond. Even without that knowledge, Amara is instantly drawn to him. On top of adjusting to living with a pack for the first time, she also has to wrestle with her feelings and the possibility that on her twenty first birthday, she might have her heart broken if the Alpha turns out to not be hers. if that was not complicated enough, strange visions and dreams have started plaguing Amara and an attack from a rogue wolf brings up questions about her past. There is danger lurking and secrets that threaten to destroy their lives as they know it. UPDATE: Chapter 46 has been extended with a new portion added.Chapter 48 is entirely new content!Added Epilogue is entirely new as well.NOW OFFICIALLY COMPLETE WITH ADDED CHANGES!A/N This book is complete. This is a stand-alone book in a series. Every book in the Fated Mates series will follow a different character that was introduced in Destiny Untold as they find their mates. There will be LGBT pairings and the characters will come from diverse backgrounds. Representation is important to me and I like my stories to reflect that. Thank you for your time!
