Before the Storm by Ariel Millar

Danyal: My family was my one vulnerable spot, and the monsters in the lab knew exactly how to use that against me. I might have been protected if I was bonded, but I’ve only spent one heat with an Alpha, and the morning after, he was gone. I can live without a mate, but I can’t live without my family, and I won’t lose hope that someone is coming for me.

Of course, coming up with a plan of escape is the easy part. The difficult part is deciding whether or not the human in the cell with me is telling the truth about her pregnancy—because Wolves can’t breed with humans…can they? But she’s not like any other human I’ve met, and if she’s telling the truth, the baby inside her belongs to our cause. My choices are simple, but they’re not easy: stay and protect her and hope a rescue is on the way, or fight my way out and try to explain to Kor Titus why I let his child die.

Mikael: My job was simple: provide the voice of reason on the Alpha Council so no one gained more power than anyone else. And it remained that way until the humans managed to fracture our numbers. And worst of all, the only Omega I have ever met to make my heart pound has gone missing.

Danyal is more than just a geneticist dedicated to our cause. He’s also the one Omega I shared a heat with decades ago. Danyal doesn’t seem to remember our night, and it’s not something I’m eager to bring up again, but I will never forget the way I wanted him. And now that his life is in danger, it’s all I can do to keep the course and not tear the planet apart. I’m not sure what I expect to find when I finally catch his scent, but I know I’m not leaving until he’s safe in my arms.

Before the Storm is the third book in a Dystopian MM Werewolf trilogy featuring A/B/O hierarchy with no mpreg, mild violence, and a happily ever after. Carpe Noctem books are not stand alone and are best read in order.
