Guarding Axel (Dark Forest Pack‪)‬

A silver-haired fae with a shattered heart—a green-eyed shifter with enough love to heal him.

Axel

Burnt by a past betrayal, I've learnt the hard way to keep my heart locked up tight. As tempting as Talis is, all I can offer is friendship, because trusting someone again is a risk I can't take. Love means sharing the true nature of my magic, and the last time I did that it almost cost me my life.

Talis

I want what every shifter wants. A mate, a partner. Someone I can call mine. Axel Molhieth, beautiful and free-spirited, makes it crystal clear that isn't him. Will never be him. I know it'll end badly for me, but I want him anyway.

One night is all it takes to ruin their friendship, and avoidance is the easy way out. But when Axel's past catches up with him, putting his life in danger, they're forced to finally face the consequences of their night together.

Contains mature themes.
