"Taming His Vampire Mate" is the fifth book in Jay Castle's Blood Bonded Mates series.
["THIERRY
Everyone knows tampering with fate is foolish. I’m doing it anyway. If I can stop even one person from becoming a monster, it’s worth the risk. Restoring a vampire’s lost humanity is simple. Theoretically. And now it’s time to put it to the test. Starting with myself.
Step one: Trick the universe into coughing up a fated mate on command.
Step two: Kick him to the curb faster than he can blink. Falling in love is not part of the plan.
But when my destiny turns out to be Jeremy, the maddening werewolf alpha with a dark past and a glare that could peel paint, I’m seriously rethinking my life choices. And somehow he thinks I’m the villain here.
Which is rich, considering he’s exactly like my maker, the sadistic monster who ruined my life eight centuries ago. I want nothing to do with him. Ever.
JEREMY
All I want is to be left alone. But my old pack is in terrible danger. They’re fractured, weak, and unprepared for what’s coming. It’s up to me to protect them and I need immediate backup. Which means asking for help from the vampire king.
Instead, I get saddled with Thierry. He’s as cold and cutting as he is gorgeous. Pack lore says all vampires are bloodthirsty predators. Which means I ought to be plotting ways to end him, not noticing the shape of his mouth, the strange electric blue of his eyes, or how perfectly his body fits against mine.
Losing one mate nearly destroyed me. I can’t survive losing another.
But even as an ancient and deadly threat from Thierry’s past stalks us from the shadows, it’s getting harder to remember why I should stay away."]
Hehehe, I kneeew Thierry would get the most complicated, most devoted of mates when it was finally his turn for a HEA.
The most complicated...holy shit. These two started off on the right foot..and then they realized who the other was; after that, there was a lot of taught hate and self-doubt, traumatic baggage to work through. It's hard when you're brain is arguing with your heart.
The most devoted...I'm not crying, you are. That was surprisingly all so soft and warm and comforting. It was new and shocking and scary and vulnerable. But it was happy.
Annnnd now there's 3+ new couples to discuss and a megalomaniac to take down.
Trigger Warnings: grief, instances of on-page violence (never between partners), recovery from trauma, mentions of past intimate partner violence, death, the loss of a partner (off-page), and more.
