Sam has spent seventeen years being the girl no one wanted—the daughter of a single father who rides a motorcycle, dubbed "biker trash" by her classmates. But on graduation day, she discovers her unconventional family is so much more than she ever imagined. When Sam's father finally reveals the truth about his crew, her safe world shatters. They don't just ride bikes—they rescue women and children from human trafficking. Knox, the quiet nineteen-year-old who's been watching over her since childhood, survived exactly what her father's crew is fighting to stop. And now, Sam wants to help. But her father has rules. Strict ones. And when her school bully goes missing weeks after graduation, Sam realizes the danger is far more real than she thought. She's determined to save Tina—even if it means breaking every boundary her father has set. As Sam pushes deeper into her family's secret world, she discovers that belonging to this crew means more than blood ties. It means understanding what it costs to protect others. It means facing the difference between the family you're born into and the family you choose. And it means deciding who she's willing to become.

Val the Lycan Prince is coming to our pack to find his mate. I turned 18 a few weeks ago. I hope that I am not his mate. He is full of anger and hate. He does what he wants to whoever he wants. He just wants to control everything around him.

My garden full of beautiful things. This is where I come to get away from my Alpha. I am his Luna but not his lover. This is my only place that he will not come. Not like he is around much anyways, he is always off with her. The one he wanted but couldn't make his luna, because I am his fated mate and daughter to an Alpha. So I am a strong Alpha female. And his lover is just a random pack member that he has known since childhood, they remind me all the time. His father would not let him mate or mark her when he has a strong female as I mate. I am here to only give him an heir and raise him. I go to meetings and events that the Luna is required to go, one of these events is where I found my love of gardens. I play the Luna part, but all of the pack members know the truth, so I am not respected and get walked on. They don't abuse me so I know it could be worse, but I also know it can be so much better. Maybe the grass is greener on the other side.

To all those who have found love in unexpected places, who have dared to forge their own paths in the face of doubt, and who believe that the strongest bonds are not those bestowed by ancient decree, but those forged in the crucible of genuine connection and unwavering devotion. May your hearts beat with the fierce loyalty of a dragon, the enduring spirit of a mortal, and the boundless magic that exists when two souls choose each other, against all odds, against all time. This story is a testament to the power of that choice, a celebration of love that transcends form, lifespan, and the whispers of convention. May your own stories be filled with such profound and beautiful binding, proving that the most sacred of ceremonies is the one held within two intertwined hearts, illuminating the world with their unique, shared light. May you find your own Golden City in the eyes of your beloved, and your own sacred grove in the peace of their presence.
