Book Description
Clothes off and claws out. We’ve got work to do.
Cambry is everything an omega shouldn’t be. He’s tall, muscular and attacks every alpha who approaches him, shifting into his wolf form before making sure they know their place—away from him.
Cambry’s father sends him to Feral Woods in the hopes that Cambry will return home too shattered to put up a fight against his next potential mate. If one alpha can’t tame him, then why not try two?
With two hundred supervised acres, Feral Woods is a couple’s therapy center run by Bryce and Jake—two massive alphas who could tear Cambry apart. It’s not long before Cambry finds himself drawn to them, his inner beast submissive for the first time in his life. But he is met with dismissive refusal instead of interest.
With his heart on the line and time running out, there is a chance he could remain broken forever.
Reader advisory: This book contains a scene of a shifter orgy.
Cambry
Cambry took a deep breath as he stepped out of the taxi, his lungs filling with the scents of earth, pine and something wild that called to the deeper part of himself. Rubbing at his sternum, he pulled his bag over his shoulder. Three seconds in and it already felt like he was about to get in touch with his feral side.
There was no fence or gate like he’d expected, but a simple dirt road that disappeared into a thick canopy of trees. The mailbox at the end of the lane was battered, as if it had gone head-to-head with a few snowplows.
What will they do when I lose control? Not if…when.
He looked back at the cab, the driver already paid and just waiting for his signal to leave. His father had been too busy to see him off, and his mother hadn’t appeared when he’d dragged his bag downstairs. She probably hadn’t wanted to be caught in a cab with him when they’d be close enough in the back seat to touch.
“Hello there.”
Cambry turned to the sound, his heart pounding as he sized up the alpha headed his way—and he definitely was an alpha. Cambry didn’t exactly fit societal norms, but there was no way a man that large could be anything but a testosterone-fueled alpha in his prime.
Most of their house staff were omegas, and his father wasn’t exactly in his prime anymore. The few alphas that he’d tried to date had nothing on the man before him.
Cambry took a step back, clutching his bag as the corner dug into his thigh. His mouth was dry as he tried to swallow, his heart pounding and his beast shifting in his chest. Holy crap.
He had a few inches on Cambry and probably close to fifty pounds of muscle, with dark hair and eyes that were crinkled at the corners from his friendly smile. Smiles could be deceiving, though. Cambry’s father had a smile like the devil—pure and genuine until it came time for payment.
“Hey, none of that,” he said as Cambry took another step back, the cab halting him in his tracks as he pressed against the door. “I know I’m a big guy, but don’t worry. I’m slower than I look.” He gave Cambry a wink as he walked up to the driver, mumbling a few words before sending him off.
“I’m Bryce,” he said, holding out his hand as the cab started to pull away. “And you must be Cambry. Your father told me all about you.”
I doubt that—especially if Bryce was offering his hand. Unless he was one of those overconfident a-holes who thought six inches was nine. Just because Cambry hadn’t had sex didn’t mean he hadn’t seen a few dicks up close. They just never got close enough for it to count.
Cambry looked down at the proffered hand, his skin prickling at the thought of touching the alpha. His chest clenched, his breaths coming faster as he clung to the strap of his bag, holding on for dear life. Dropping his gaze, he looked to Bryce’s feet and the thick leather sandals. They fit right in among the greenery that surrounded the property like a life force.
“We’ll get there,” said Bryce, lowering his hand. “Most of the couples are already here. I’ll show you to your room so you can get settled. Orientation is in an hour, so you’ll have time then to meet everybody. I’ll see if I can round up Jake so you can meet him before that.” Bryce chewed on his lip before he turned away. He looked back when Cambry didn’t follow after a few steps.
Who is Jake? Maybe he was supposed to know and his father had simply forgotten to tell him. Maybe he’d been matched and mated already, and the therapy was simply another name for making sure he went through the whole process until he was broken enough that he was as meek as his mother.
With the cab gone, silence had descended, the constant city traffic replaced by a few early cicadas. His choice of jeans and a T-shirt may have been a bit overzealous. He was already starting to sweat, the mugginess of the forest sinking in.
The two hundred acres that had been on the business card were closing in around him fast. He hadn’t even known that trees could get that tall. And Bryce was heading straight into the forest as if the darkness between the trees wasn’t the most terrifying thing that Cambry had ever seen.
His beast liked the idea, though, begging him to step into the shadows and shift. Mind your manners. Hopefully, it listened.
“You coming?” Bryce called over his shoulder as he paused at the tree line.
Cambry looked down at his clenched hands, stretching them out as they began to ache. He was scarier than anything in the forest—except perhaps the strange alpha—but that was what terrified him the most.
In the city it was easier to keep control. His feral side wanted nothing to do with his computer or books. It found his life even more mind-numbing than he did. Out in the wild, there was nothing to hold him back. They would never see him coming.
