The Selfless Gene Pete Durant

Trapped in a dank cave with only his bestial inner voice for company, Thame has a choice: deny the creature inside and fester forever in darkness, or embrace his shadowy alter ego Ormr once and for all. But what then? Thame has to break free of his stone prison to seek out and defeat a bloodline that threatens to corrupt the world with the deepest evil. Yet what if the real danger lies outside his own genetics? And what if that peril involves his ex-lover, whose new boyfriend seems suspiciously familiar... Thame's journey to reclaim his place in the Order and save those he cares for takes him from his Mediterranean imprisonment, deep into the stories of Ormr's shadowy past, to Florida Keys and finally back to Britain. Here he must face his biggest ordeal yet: the culmination of an ancient vendetta that just got personal. The Selfless Gene is the sequel and concluding part of Wattpad favourite and award winning (Wattys2018 Longlisted) The Illumination.
