When Orion, the leader of the Nightshade Pack, finds an injured woman near his territory, he makes an impulsive decision to bring her into his pack for treatment. Doubts linger, as she may be a spy sent by the Enclave, led by the ruthless Luna, Victoria.

What was supposed to be a straightforward case of recovery quickly becomes complicated. When Sophia awakens, she is plagued by amnesia, remembering only her name.

Orion faces a dilemma: should he send her away or allow her to stay? Ultimately, he decides to keep her until her memories return. As Sophia adjusts to life in the Nightshade Pack, a deep connection forms between her and Orion. They begin to realize they belong together, but what will happen when Sophia’s memories start returning in fragments? Will those memories destroy not only their bond but also the safety of the entire pack?


NB: Luna in this novel is a different concept, it doesn't just mean the wife of the Alpha. And also this book is rated 18.

Orion's gaze never left Sophia and Dren as he answered Brynhild.


"I noticed it too," he said quietly. "Dren isn't using his wolf."


Brynhild turned her head slightly toward him, not seeing his face but hearing the weight behind his words. "But why?"


Orion exhaled through his nose. "I'm thinking it's because of me, most likely. I focused heavily on weapons. Footwork. Control. Precision. I drilled it into them that steel is discipline." He paused. "Maybe I did it too well."


Brynhild nodded. "Maybe that's why they are so good at using weapons right now. Weapons matter," she said. "But they are not the only things that matter."


She raised her voice slightly, sharp and carrying. "Dren."


Dren snapped his attention toward her, spear still in hand, breath coming harder now that he had stopped holding back. "Yes, Captain."
