Summary: (This is a short story! It can be read as a standalone but is part of a series) Gideon Gray is a venomous snake shifter. Born as the first son to an Alpha pair he’s been raised to takeover when his father retires. However, being Alpha isn’t what he wants. Gideon owns a mortuary and would rather live his life working with his friends than become someone else’s puppet. His parents won’t give up easily and with every blind date and matchmaking scheme Gideon’s resolve weakens. Ethan Tod is the Egyptian god Anubis. He’s never expected to find a fated mate. When the Fates themselves drop in on him for a visit he doesn’t say no to what they’re proposing. All it takes is a phone call and he’s leaving his homeland to find the mate he’s suddenly paired with. These two men have a date with destiny now that Fate has intervened and nothing will stand in the way. The journey ahead won’t be all hearts and flowers but with a mating blessed by the Fates these two will be able to handle anything.
