«Royal Blood» by Carol Lynne

Will Nialo be able to put retribution aside in the name of love, or will his anger and untapped power rip The Realm apart? Spiro Manos ruled over the Realm of Blessed Creatures for centuries in his brothers stead. Time spent solving everyone elses problems helped divert his mind from his own. Bound to a powerful but lost god, Spiro has spent a lifetime alone. Although sexual diversions have kept his body satisfied, his soul has never known the touch of the one lover he was born to satisfy. Betrayed and hunted by his brother, Nialo fought valiantly until his mother, Gaia, hid him away. Forced to live life as a jaguar, Nialos found it easier to forget he was ever anything but an animal. One bite from a friendly vampire and Nialo begins to remember who he is and why he was hidden away. His anger and need for revenge are matched only by the desire he feels for the man constantly at his side. It is the touch of his mate that begins to soothe the savage beast. Will Nialo be able to put retribution aside in the name of love, or will his anger and untapped power rip The Realm apart? Reader Advisory: This is the final book in the Neos Realm series. It is best if read as part of the series.
