Summary
In the kingdom of Hawkins, the destiny of a royal omega is set even before birth. For Prince William Byers, life should be a succession of balls and diplomatic agreements, living like a crystal jewel protected by the castle walls. But Will is not just a prince, he is a clergyman whose connections to the world show him more than the castle walls attempt to protect him from.
Beside him, always two steps away, is Michael Wheeler. An alpha of warrior lineage and the Royal Paladin who swore to protect the prince with his life, his sword, and his honor. Mike lives under the weight of a sacred oath that forbids him from coveting the treasure he guards, while his inner wolf roars in recognition every time the scent of Will's honey fills the air.
When the king decides to use Will as a pawn in a political marriage, and the shadows in the forest become too real to ignore, the cleric and his paladin decide on the unthinkable: escape.
Far from the castle's oppressors and under the starry sky, instincts surface with devastating force. Meanwhile, Mike and Will's wolves are bound by something far older than the laws of men or gods.

Summary
"Tell me, Sir Michael, do they ever let you out of that suit? Or do you sleep in it to hide the fact that there's nothing underneath but duty?"
Mike doesn’t blink. "I sleep in it so that if someone like you tries to sneak into the Prince's quarters at night, they find six inches of steel instead of a door."
or;
Jealous personal knight Mike Wheeler will shatter anyone who dares to touch his prince. That includes slimy Lords from the South who want to court him.

Summary
“Go to bed, Mike,” Will said flatly, his cheeks burning.
“Mmkay,” Mike mumbled, immediately reaching for Will’s blanket.
“In your room.”
Mike pouted, his brown eyes wide and doe-like. “Can I sleep in here? Pretty please? Just one night.”
“Why?” Will asked.
“'Cause your bed is comfy,” Mike slurred his words. “And…‘cause I missed you.”
OR: Mike ends up sleeping in Will’s bed every time he goes on a date.
