Crossed by Claire Cullen

When Max is called away from his work on the new den to help rescue omegas from the hyenas, he doesn’t expect to wind up on an adventure of his own. But then he hadn’t anticipated finding Oscar, an omega from a family who went into hiding when their den fell years before. To Oscar, Max is a predator, and he’s prey. Gaining his trust isn’t going to be easy. Max sees more than a potential mate in Oscar, he sees a link to the past that might just be key to saving their future. But when his own past comes back to haunt him, it threatens everything he and Oscar are building together. A mate, a home, a family. Is that too much to ask?

Oscar has lived his whole life by his family’s belief that hiding from the shifter world is the only way to stay safe. As an omega, he finds it stifling, longing for escape and the chance to find his mate. But when he draws danger down onto himself and his family, he begins to think they were right; the world outside is no place for shifters like him. When he’s rescued by Max and catches a glimpse of how his life could be, he starts to wonder if everything he’s been taught is wrong. But as he struggles to come to terms with what he’s lost, and Max wrestles with the demons of his past, can they find a way to make things work?
