Kael Anderson lost his future mate and luna, Stephanie, during a rogue attack. Stephanie's death left his entire pack in mourning; her death anniversary was even declared a pack holiday.

Five years later, Kael discovers that Stephanie's younger sister Astrid is his mate. But how can that be? Wasn't Stephanie supposed to be his mate? And would his pack even accept Astrid as his mate and Luna-many have always blamed Astrid for Stephanie's death, because Stephanie died trying to save Astrid.

For her part, Astrid has lived in the shadow of her beautiful older sister for years. She knows very well that pack members and her parents wish that it was Astrid that died that day instead of Stephanie. Astrid had looked forward to the day that she would meet her mate and finally feel important to someone.

Discovering that her mate is Kael is Astrid's worst nightmare, especially when Kael reacts poorly to the discovery. Astrid decides that she is unwilling to live in Stephanie's shadow any longer. She will not spend the rest of her life with a mate who wishes she was someone else. She rejects Kael, who all too quickly accepts the rejection.

Soon afterwards, horrifying truths come out and Kael immediately regrets letting Astrid go. He sets out to get Astrid back and right the wrongs that have been done. But is it too late? Will Astrid find love with Kael, or with someone else?

I arrived at the party a few minutes late. Normally, I would attend these kinds of events with Randall, but he was meeting with Kael before the party, so I came by myself. I almost didn't show up at all, but I knew that, as the Luna of this pack, I had to.


The space was beautifully decorated and completely packed with wolves. There were clearly more than 500 wolves in attendance.


It made me want to throw up. Yes, really.


It was no secret to anyone that I was against having this party. Even though Margie paid for the food and decorations, at least two dozen omegas and three dozen security guards had to work overtime for the event and those overtime costs would be solely borne by the pack. The pack simply did not have the money to incur those kinds of unnecessary expenses anymore.
