    Summary

    In the two years since his mate died, Jack's been working to heal and move on. Despite the expectation that he'd find a new alpha, Jack's content with his life as it is: he's got his friends, his sister, his two jobs, and a handful of alphas he regularly helps through ruts to sate any sexual needs. He does not need an alpha. But then an unexpected night with a stranger in his first mature rut triggers a flash heat and when the heat haze clears, Jack's got a bite on his neck and an eager young alpha who's convinced they can make a go of it.

    Is Dennis right that Jack's finally met his match, or will Jack opt for a six-month bond annulment?

    Please note that this fic will deal with Jack's healing from an abusive relationship with his deceased mate. There are no flashbacks, but Jack does reflect on what happened and shares some of it with Dennis in dialogue.
