Fizzle knew his place as 'the outsider'. He would find neither a family nor a mate in this pack, no matter how close he would be with them, especially their future alpha.

Garble had been groomed to be the next leader of the clans since his mother died and his father carried the mantle in her place, his life filled with training himself and his betas while being plagued by dreams of his ivory scaled mate.

They finally find just what they need in the dark of the night, and join each in the light of that morning.

Added alt. universe tag because this makes non-canon assumptions of the backstory of both main characters as well as using A/B/O dynamics.
