NERIS (BoyxBoy)

NERIS (BoyxBoy)
Calvin, the Beta Jr. of Blood Valley Pack, never wanted the typical mate-and-title future. His world revolved around Quincy, a rescued rogue wolf he raised and protected. But on his 19th birthday, a potent scent changes everything, leading him to Stryker Thorne, the pack's notorious 'manwhore'—and Calvin's fated mate. A drugged encounter, a public rejection, and a shocking banishment force Calvin and Quincy into exile. With millions at his disposal and a burning desire for retribution, Calvin vows to make Stryker pay, ensuring his pain is tenfold. Will love or vengeance prevail in this high-stakes game of pack politics and fated destinies?

The air hung heavy with the scent of pine and damp earth, a familiar comfort that usually grounded me. Today, it felt like a prelude to something I didn't want. It was my nineteenth birthday, a day that, in every stereotypical werewolf story, meant finding a mate and inheriting titles.

I just wanted to live my life, free from that 'jazz'.

Then, a flash of brown hair, a clumsy stumble, and Quincy was on the ground. My smile, small as it was, vanished, replaced by a familiar rush of concern. He giggled up at me, innocent as ever.

"You got so big!" he chirped, oblivious to the fact he was still sprawled on the dirt. My eyes rolled playfully. "You fell, Quincy. You're on the ground." He chuckled, slowly dusting himself off, his emerald eyes twinkling. He was my constant, the one person I willingly engaged with, a pure soul I'd pulled from the brink years ago.
