    Summary

    Derek Hale is a Class Five Sentinel — one of the most powerful in federal service — and he's falling apart. Four years after his former Guide used their bond to crawl inside his head and sell state secrets through his senses, he's sworn off Guides entirely. But the longer he goes without one, the more his senses fragment: zone-outs, feral episodes, walls through which he puts various colleagues. The Bureau of Sentinel-Guide Affairs gives him an ultimatum — accept a new Guide or be locked in a containment facility for everyone's safety.

    Enter Stiles Stilinski: newly manifested, top of his class, already fired from two field placements for being smarter than his supervisors and incapable of keeping that information to himself. Their compatibility index is ninety-fourth percentile. Their first meeting goes about as well as you'd expect.

    This is a story about the difference between bonds that are taken and bonds that are chosen. About a man who learned that trust is a weapon, and the loudmouthed, gummy-bear-eating disaster of a Guide who teaches him it can also be a door.

    Summary

    Stiles Stilinski, omega prince of a kingdom on the brink of collapse, is married off to Derek Hale, Crown Prince of Triskelion, in exchange for a military alliance generous enough to feel like a trap. It is.

    What no one tells Stiles before his wedding night is that Derek has been feral for nearly two years — locked in his wolf form since a devastating betrayal, unreachable by his own family, a man buried alive inside an animal. The Hales' last hope is the oldest piece of werewolf lore there is: that a true mate bond might give Derek something to surface for.

    The thing is, Stiles met Derek once. Six years ago, at a gala, on a balcony. They talked for an hour and never saw each other again. He's thought about it every day since.

    Now he's standing in a tower room with a wolf the size of a horse that won't stop breathing him in, and he has to decide whether to stay.

    He stays.

    Summary

    Derek is tearing down the Hale house. Rebuilding on the foundation. He doesn't ask for help. Stiles shows up anyway — with a spreadsheet, a build schedule, and a group chat called "HGTV: Hell Edition."

    Within six months, Stiles has nested so deeply into the territory that his scent is in the walls, he's wearing Derek's hoodies like they're his, and every wolf in the pack has quietly rearranged their life around him. He has no idea what he's doing. He thinks he's just the annoying human who does research.

    Then the Alpha Council shows up, and an ancient Alpha names the thing everyone — except Stiles — has known for over a year.

    Or: two people build a home together without admitting they're building it for each other.

    It starts with the house.

    Summary

    Twenty years ago, Stiles Stilinski accidentally set a pencil on fire during math class and got dragged to the Hale House for Spark training.

    Unfortunately, the Hale family kept him.

    Now thirty years old, Stiles is one of the most terrifying emissaries in supernatural California. Derek Hale is Alpha of the Hale Pack and CEO of Hale Enterprises. Apparently, they’ve been emotionally married since approximately 2008.

    Honestly, Stiles would like it noted that none of this was his fault. Not the years of movie nights, the orange slices, the forehead kisses, the domesticity, or the fact that Derek apparently courted him using romance scenes from Jonathan Hale’s bestselling detective novels.

    In Stiles’s defense, Derek Hale was obviously straight, out of his league, and definitely not looking at him like a Victorian widow seeing sunlight again. Unfortunately for Stiles, literally everyone else noticed years ago.

    Summary

    Stiles has been betrayed. Majorly. Despicably. Devastatingly. There's no other word for it.

    Because how dare Laura fuck off on a honeymoon to Bali while leaving her ridiculously hot three-piece wearing suit brother Derek in charge?

    The bitch.
