Aspen and Leif spent more than fifty years together with no hope of being true mates. Things are shaking up in the world of fated mates. Now, it may be too late. After falling in love with Leif decades ago, Aspen's pack rejected him. Bears aren't supposed to waste time on vampires. Even without hope of a true mating, Aspen loved Leif deeply. Still does, even though he was the one who ended things. Now Weres are being paired with vampire and Aspen can't see himself with anyone else.

Unfortunately, Leif hates him now. That's something he doesn't know how to overcome. Leif thought he had gotten to a point where he could survive since losing Aspen. Now Aspen's back, and so too are the feelings he packed away. He doesn't know if he can risk his heart again. Just because the rules have changed doesn't mean they'll be paired. While Leif is torn between running and staying, the community he swore to protect is falling to shambles. If Frost pays the price for Leif's indecision, Celeste will see them all dead.

It's time to pick a lane. Unmated is the sixth book in Charity Parkerson's series where vampires, Weres, demons, gods, and all manner of the supernatural live together beneath the noses of humankind. These books are best when read in order.
