Lost and Pound

Nico is an omega, on the run from his home pack and the old alpha they were set to mate him to. Hoping to escape his intended mate in an attempt to get into Canada, he finds himself at the end of a pole prod and thrown in the county pound on the slate for euthanasia.
Shilo is a sociable sort, even for wolves, a lover of pack and family, but never seemed to find anyone to settle down with. When a bad address for a truckload of dogfood leaves his shipping company on the hook for ten grand of beef tidbits kibble, he knows just the animal shelter that could use it. And what he finds in that sad end cage waiting for the big sleep is truly heartbreaking.
With his old pack on the lookout, only another alpha’s claim can supersede his father’s demand. So, when Shilo is faced with potentially losing Nico, his claim is cemented—after all, he’s got the adoption papers free and clear.
