It has come time for the Denynso men to say goodbye to their mates as they prepare for their journey through Uoria. Each spends some special time with the woman that he loves, and each of the women have a token of their adoration for their man so that he can think of her when he is away from home. These special gifts perfectly exemplify who the women are, and the men tuck them away gratefully, happy that they will still have tangible reminders of their mates during their journey.

Coming to St. Dominic, all I’m hoping for is a fresh start with a new pride. I expected to have to struggle. What I didn’t expect was so much kindness and generosity from the shifters of St. Dominic. I didn’t expect Charlie either. Charlie isn’t just a cute and sexy alpha hockey player, he’s funny, and sweet. After two years of misery and grief, he’s a breath of fresh air.

When I came to St. Dominic, I thought I might be able to start a new life under the radar. All I want to do is make a living and take care of my baby daughter Jane. But nobody sees past the halo. Everyone in St. Dominic treats me like I’m scum. Except Dylan.
