Emotionally unrecognisable to all who knew him before, Lawrence Gunvald is more than the king of wolves: he’s a mate, a husband, a father, a dancer, and more than all of that, he is whole.

For five years, the Gunvald Estate has been filled with happiness and laughter – his and his family’s. Mated life is the best it can be. His six children colour their home with their innocent exuberance, and Adam and Tiegan’s two – soon to be three – are as close as extended family.

So when old friends in need come knocking, it brings the bittersweet past to the fore as well as a truth that remains hidden – one Lawrence had all but forgotten he knew.

Is Taylor compassionate enough to forgive him the crucial secret he kept, or does his compassion have limits after all?

And is his young and still-growing family strong enough to welcome a new arrival? One who will change the dynamic of their unit in intricate ways while paving a path into a future that looks far darker than the past five years.

This is the final story in the After the Storm novelette series.

In the immediate months and years following the biggest storm of their lives, Lydia, Lawrence, Ryan, and Taylor find themselves overwhelmed with joy and grief alike. Deep healing is needed from the traumatic events they endured, for with the future they are entering, new challenges will come knocking: Lydia faces her greatest fears; Taylor revisits his past one last time; Ryan comes to terms with the chaos in his mind; and Lawrence has one hell of a task ahead of him as Alpha and king to a species barely hanging on by a thread.

Extinction is a hard-edged coin, the four mates on one side of it; their children on the other. The storm has finally passed, but the future has never been more uncertain.
