Toyin and Xander are mates and they both know it. But an ancient prophecy is keeping them from mixing their kinds together because Xander is a wolf, and Toyin is a witch. So Xander hits the road to journey on his own, but is summoned home for an urgent reason. And Toyin is still there.

This was one had a bit more drama and was emotionally charged throughout. Coming home to meet your child and the woman you abandoned is heavy. I understood why he left and why he felt like he couldn't trust Toyin anymore. That was sad. Because she didn't mean any harm, and things went horribly left. But I like the way they worked their way back, and how when Xander finally admitted what was holding him back, his family banded together to find a solution for him and Toyin. The two of them had great chemistry; you could feel their longing and the angst was really good. I love the way they loved on their son, and protected him together. And when the truth came out about the prophecy and Toyin's past, he didn't run. 

I will say that the lore got too be a little too much for me to track in such a short story, but I still enjoyed this thoroughly. And the third brother's mate being the woman they ran off gave much drama. Lol. I wonder if that one will ever come to fruition. Either way, I loved these.
