Nineteen year old werewolf Freja is about to be stripped of her title as heir to her father's pack because she hasn't found her true mate. Her horrible stepmother, Belinda is vying for her son to replace Freja and banish her to the wilderness to live on her own. The council laws won't allow anyone to rule as alpha or luna without their true mate, and things are twice as bad for Freja because she had the misfortune of being born a girl. Her only support came from her parents, but her mother is long dead, and her father is wrapped around his new wife's finger. Freja's childhood crush, Arvid hasn't found his mate either, and is pressuring her to marry him and run away together, but she's worked her whole life for this. A new mystery man will make things even more confusing for her and make her question things she never even dreamed of. Should she stay and challenge her stepbrother, or marry Arvid and give up on the life that was destined for her since she was born?
