Summary
Derek Hale is a Class Five Sentinel — one of the most powerful in federal service — and he's falling apart. Four years after his former Guide used their bond to crawl inside his head and sell state secrets through his senses, he's sworn off Guides entirely. But the longer he goes without one, the more his senses fragment: zone-outs, feral episodes, walls through which he puts various colleagues. The Bureau of Sentinel-Guide Affairs gives him an ultimatum — accept a new Guide or be locked in a containment facility for everyone's safety.
Enter Stiles Stilinski: newly manifested, top of his class, already fired from two field placements for being smarter than his supervisors and incapable of keeping that information to himself. Their compatibility index is ninety-fourth percentile. Their first meeting goes about as well as you'd expect.
This is a story about the difference between bonds that are taken and bonds that are chosen. About a man who learned that trust is a weapon, and the loudmouthed, gummy-bear-eating disaster of a Guide who teaches him it can also be a door.

Summary
Derek Hale has always known two things about himself: He's not good at making people like him, and he's going to be his sister's second for the Sacramento pack. But when a random assignment leads him to be the new alpha of Beacon Hills, dealing with far too big shoes to fill and a new pack orphan that everyone listens to far more than they do him, he thinks it's his big chance to finally prove his worth to his mother. Besides, it's not forever, is it?
Stiles Stilinski has always known two things about himself, too: Being the son of the alpha is a Big Job, and it's his to do, and one day, his mate will be the next alpha of his mother's pack. But when his parents are murdered, and some growly man with expressive eyebrows unwillingly takes her place, he's got two choices: keep glaring at Derek or teach him to man up. At least until he's found a replacement. How long could that take?
This is a story about building a pack, finding a home and cuddling with a dog. It's mostly about the dog.

Summary
“Say it,” Adam demands. “Say I can kill you.”
“You can kill me,” Ronan says.
Adam eases up with his knife. A drop of blood beads at the swell of Ronan’s throat, just above the jut of cartilage which shares Adam’s name. Adam kisses away the blood, and then he kisses his way up to Ronan’s lips.
He whispers there, “Good.”
