Intro. Mika fled across the world to escape an abusive boyfriend who destroyed his reputation and isolated him from his family. Only his sister Leah believes him. She finds him a job at a tattoo shop run by a friend of a friend.
She doesn’t mention the part where the shop is owned by werewolves.
Specifically:
Luka — tattoo artist, alpha of the local pack, covered in ink, sweet as cinnamon rolls… and built like he could bench-press a car.
He’s patient.
He’s gentle.
He’s hopelessly protective.
And he’s trying very, very hard not to scare Mika off.
He just didn’t expect Mika to walk in on his 12-foot monster form, dripping blood, naked after shifting back—
And still not quit.
The wolf inside Luka decided right then:
Mine.
Even if he can’t say it.
Yet.
