I would have sat with my unrequited love forever.

One trip to the doctor ruined all those plans. I'm not the beta I thought I was, I'm an omega and my heat is coming ready or knot. My best friends and foster brothers have made it clear they will never see me as anything more than family, and I am not willing to put them in the position of having to knot me just because I'm desperate.

My dreams of true love are well and truly shattered, floating away like dust on the wind.

A lifeline comes from the most unlikely source—The Scented Scorpions. The deal is simple- teach Malcolm, Deacon, and Raynor to grow up on and off the ice and they will help me with everything I need to survive this heat, including an alpha who will take care of me like a queen.

I have no choice.

One of us had to grow up.

Vae is leaving. She's giving us these crappy reasons none of us believe, but she's leaving. All the parties and girlfriends seem so trivial now. She's given me my dream on the ice, and Malcolm his but now we're going to have to show her that the Lost Boys aren't lost and we're prepared to grow up and do absolutely anything to keep her.

There's only one thing we can do—rise to her challenge or lose her forever.

This is book one in the Knotty Puckers shared Universe.
