    Summary

    Joel spent most of his life alone. Hybrids were hunted, seen as inhuman. Trusting others was a risk, and he had seen enough to know better. So he spent his time scavenging and “borrowing” from hunters as he traveled from place to place, never truly finding a safe place to settle.

    That was until he was caught. Being taken by hunters changed everything. He comes back to a life full of pain, cages, and cruelty. That was until he met Etho.

    Etho wasn’t scared when he was captured again. He had grown up in the system, he knew what he was getting into when the hunters pinned him down and took him to a cage. He knew his friends, who referred to themselves as the Hermits, a group of hybrids hiding safely away from hunters, would come save him.

    So when he meets Joel, he promises him that he’d get him out. Joel struggles to trust him, but as the two survive captivity together, Joel realizes that maybe he could learn to trust again. Maybe a friend was something he actually did need in life.

    Summary

    Wels was taken by humans a number of years ago now. He had spent those years between various owners, acting as a guard dog either for impressive homes or for high profile humans who felt like they needed a security detail.
    He is then bought by a man to protect him and his most prized possession, which happens to be a cursed dog hybrid who has apparently been taken from him before.

    Summary

    The world adored symmetry.

    It loved the soft glow of wrists bound by fate, the satisfying click of puzzle piece souls slotting into each other, and the smug satisfaction of predestined love.

    Soulmates. Forever meant to be. Prepackaged, shrink-wrapped affection with a glittering bow on top.

    Joel Beans had never liked symmetry.

    Not in the way the world did, anyway. He wasn’t built for tidy stories. He liked chaos. Liked choice. So of course, Fate had to go and make a cruel joke of him, because not only had both of his exes found each other in the way people wrote poems about, they hadn’t even needed the bond to do it.

    Scott and Etho, two very different people that yet fit so well together. They had basically the perfect domestic life together. They chose each other, even against the protest of Fate.

    And of course to doubly screw him over, they want him back.

    OR!

    Etho and Scott try to seduce Joel into their cute boy polycule via inviting him to their cabin getaway.
