Daniel is an Alpha and a Dom. For the last year he's been trying to convince Dawn that they're mates. He sees the way she holds herself back. Not once during their time together has she trusted him enough to give herself to him. It's time to take over and show her who the real Dom is.
Dawn craves pain and no one can handle her need. When Daniel discovers her secret there's no backing out. She can't feel pain and it's up to her Dom to protect her.
Her condition makes her vulnerable to predators. Daniel will not let anything happen to his mate and will do everything in his power to protect her, even from the person who wants to hurt her most.
