About this ebook
Known to most as Mother Nature, Nate is used to people not understanding him. However, nothing shocks him more than when his mate and fellow Keeper refuses to claim him. Hurt hundreds of years ago, Nate now finds himself faced with the option to forgive and forget or hold on to the hurt and live the rest of his very long life—without a mate.
Two hundred years ago Harry, the Easter Bunny, made a deal that has haunted him every one of those days. A deal which cost him his happiness. Harry looks over the contract again and realizes he may have missed something essential within its meaning. However, now armed with the answers he still faces a future alone if they go unaccepted.
As the Keepers fight for one of their own who seems to have lost his way, will they find him in time or at the very least, find who is controlling him?

CHAPTER ONE
Harry stood in the shadows near the entrance to the Pro Custodes, watching Nate pace back and forth, the occasional grimace crossing his face.
He could practically hear Nate’s thoughts. Could they be any louder?
A grumble under his breath and Nate returned to pacing.
Harry couldn’t help the way he raked his eyes over the other man’s form. So tall and lean, smooth skin reminding him of the finest chocolate. What he wouldn’t give to take a bite out of him. But he couldn’t. At least not yet.
He sighed, low and almost desperate. So many years wasted, and all thanks to his stupidity...and the Dark Lords. Harry should have known better, they were tricksters after all. Not so much interested in carnage, but that was usually the result of their games. They weren’t evil, they were just considered to have ambiguous morals. Fewer in numbers than the Keepers, the Dark Lords were still capable of doing damage, and they had. Harry didn’t doubt for a second that Thyme’s fears over his relationship had been amplified by Fear himself. Not many things could scare Thyme, but his love for Cupid met no emotional match for the much older Keeper.
Harry could sympathize.
Approaching slowly, he hid his grin as another groan filtered through the air and Nate rolled his eyes once more, letting out an irritated huff.
Problem?
he asked.
He could hear Nate’s heart as it skipped a beat at the sound of Harry’s voice. Harry could see the struggle Nate had to keep his features neutral, before giving up and pasting on the fakest smile he had ever seen. Harry. I thought you would have left by now.
Harry frowned. Granted, Harry kept to himself a lot over the years, his need to keep Nate at a distance had leaked over to the other Keepers as well, but that didn’t mean he didn’t care. Is that what Nate truly thought? If so, Harry had more of a battle than he had even thought. Thyme is my friend too, Nate. I wouldn’t leave without first knowing he was okay.
Nate’s snort was somehow graceful. We knew he was going to be fine the moment Cupid said I love you and he began healing.
The other Keeper’s eyes narrowed in suspicion. What are you really doing here?
At first Harry said nothing, trying to find the right words. He had never been good with them. Perhaps it was why the Dark Lords had managed to pull one over on him so successfully. Wording.
Amazing how things said a particular way could still mean something different depending on the context. Harry had been so sure when he had made his deal with the Dark Lords, it had meant he could never have the man. To keep him safe, he had to keep his distance.
God, he was a moron.
One who may not be good with words, but could write a declaration in a matter of moments with his actions. Which is exactly what he did.
Taking the few steps that separated them, Harry didn’t waste time reaching to hook his hand behind Nate’s head, fingers twisting in Nate’s flowing black hair to lock him in place. The kiss seared him to his soul, tongues duelling, and teeth clashing. So passionate, so consuming, Harry could feel Nate’s acceptance as he stood there taking the assault on his mouth. He could tell how much the other man enjoyed it.
Pulling away suddenly, Harry began backing away, his entire body shaking as he restrained himself from jumping Nate right then and there. Nate’s eyes widened, his lips slightly parted. Harry imagined what he must look
