Summary
It's probably only minutes later when he comes aware of rustle of movement behind him. He thinks, at first—
Maybe an animal, or another omega.
But there's something controlled about it, like it was a sound made deliberate enough to make him aware of it. Like he's being stalked through the woods now, and the Alpha who found him is getting impatient with him.
He grins.
This is why he was here, and his heart rate ratchets up in the anticipation of it.
He glances behind him, and can see the shape of a man chasing him through the shadows, his form barely knowable in this low half light, he catches parts of a man through silvered thin fractals of light from the moonlight breaking through the canopy—
The golden flash of eyes.
Dark brown hair.
A large hand, reaching—
All of it familiar in a way that makes him ache.

Summary
Evan Buckley was truly fucked. One week after leaving the only home he’d ever known, his parents’ house—Ground Zero hit, and the world went to hell. Eight months later, he’s still searching for his sister Maddie in Los Angeles, armed only with a tear-stained note: “I’m leaving Doug. I’m going to Los Angeles.”
When Buck finally tracks her to Safe Zone 118, he realizes that maybe having a family and surviving alongside people who actually care, isn’t so bad.
At 118, firefighter Eddie Diaz, a single dad, turned his fire station into a refuge with his team when Ground Zero struck. Just trying to keep his kids safe, he’s thrown for a loop when a stranger shows up claiming to be Maddie’s brother. Buck is skilled, prepared, and oddly magnetic, forcing Eddie to question everything he thought he knew about survival, trust, and maybe even… something more.

Summary
When Buck is struck by lightning, the impossible happens. A young Eddie and Evan, torn straight out of 2006, appear in Los Angeles. Lost, and confused.
While Bobby and Athena take the boys in, giving them the kind of home they never had, Buck and Eddie are forced to watch the most vulnerable versions of themselves begin to heal… and, much to both of their surprises, fall in love.
They quickly realise that maybe nothing they’re feeling now is new, just something that they’ve been running from all along.
