Meet Tomas Bennett, half-breed wolf shifter. Biological mother, Corrinna Griggs. Silas killed her for her role in the death of several shifters using internal bombs. (Nasty woman) Davian and Matt Bennett, Jasmine’s ex-husband and his mate, petitioned Silas for custody of the troubled teen. After a brief bout of rebellion, Tomas settled down, went to school with Silas’ kids and eventually dated Renee, Silas’ daughter. The two were in love and did everything together. He was her first lover and date for all the significant events. She and all her siblings refused to settle for anything less than a mate. They all grew up in homes with mated parents and wanted the same.

The weekend before Tomas and Adam left the States to play ball was magical and tragic. He and Renee spent those days together saying goodbye. Unlike David and Sarita, who believed they were mates, Tomas and Renee knew they were not. Leaving her was the hardest thing he’d ever done, but remaining and seeing her with her mate would kill him.

To ease his pain, he focused his energies on playing ball. The first year, he won MVP in the league. During that time, Jackie met her mate, Quinn. And then Adam met Bella. Tomas knew it was a matter of time before Renee’s mate found her as well. When word reached him of Renee and Storm, his heart dived but didn’t break. He expected it and knew his visits to the compound would cease. Although he and Adam remained close, when the opportunity to travel with a friend of his father to the Continent, he left. That’s where he met Aurora, his mate.
