Overview

Dekker Baines decides he wants to start a family, but he doesn't have an alpha, so he goes to one of Pine Wood Falls' get-togethers. It's where you go if you need someone to mate with, but his evening goes sideways when a few alphas don't take no for an answer. Ryder Remington is Dekk's business partner, and when he gets a call that Dekk is in trouble, he runs to his rescue and comes across a scene that makes his blood boil. A month after the attack, when Dekk goes into heat again, Ryder tells him he'll be the father of his children. Dekk is reluctant at first but can't fight his urge to be with child. Now they're starting a family, but the thing is, they can't stand each other. They are as mismatched as two people can get. Together they have to navigate recovering from trauma, try to tolerate living with each other, and get ready for quintuplets. If they can manage all of that, they might get their happy ending, but things never go according to plan. *can be read as a standalone *non-shifter mpreg romance
