Bethany has lived in remote Alaska her whole life. She, along with her parents live in a small group of homes where everyone helps the other. To survive they all pitch in and each family trades or sells products they grow, make, or breed. The land is harsh but fruitful. The short growing season means jumping on the crops as soon as possible so they can be stored and traded or sold for the long winter ahead. Hunting meant meat for all that is smoked, cured and stored. The pelts were processed for rugs, blankets and warm outdoor gear. They had livestock for eggs, meat, milk and cheese. Life was simple but happy.There were things Bethany noted about their little colony that didn't make sense but she accepted. She was the only one that could care for the livestock. Hunting was easier for her because the animals seemed to hide from her family. Every winter the family moved from their upstairs comfortable home to a downstairs rustic looking cabin. Her parents seemed slower during this time and rarely went upstairs. Bethany cared for the livestock. Her mother being a midwife would frequently leave to assist with births. For the most part they remained underground in their cabin. The most odd thing was that within the rustic cabin was a hidden tunnel that remained stocked with meats, produce and bottled water. Her parents told her that if there was ever an "attack" on their little community she was to hide in the tunnel with the radio they used for communication and dial a specific channel and ask for help. She was to stay in the tunnel until help came. They even practiced drills so her parents were sure she knew what to do.On Bethany's 18th birthday an attack came to their community. Bethany hid in the tunnel and grabbed the radio and asked for help. Above her she heard the terrifying sounds of bear roars. Bethany held her tears as the fighting died and she heard the sounds of her home being ransacked. She held back terrified screams as she heard the ransacking come closer to her hiding place. Suddenly the door to the tunnel flew open and a soft male voice called to her letting her know he was here to help. When she held out her hand to him sparks shot through her arm and as she came to the light the most handsome man she ever saw looked at her wide eyed and said "mate".

Lydia is the daughter of a High Priestess Light Witch of the Silver Moon Coven and The Alpha of the Red River Pack. Contrary to popular beliefs, your True Mate can come from any Enchanted Realm, even the Human Realm. When two members of different Enchanted Realms mate and have children, they inherit the traits of one of their parents. At least until now... I am Lydia, and I am a Were-Witch hybrid. No one can find record of any other hybrids that have existed or exist now, until me. My parents realized very early in my life I had inherited both of their lineage. Complicating the situation further is that my mother is not only a High Priestess, but the most powerful High Priestess of Light Magic in her realm, and my father is one of the most powerful Alpha's with one of largest packs in the World. If anyone knew I was a powerful hybrid, I would be hunted. Those who feared me would want me dead. Those who understood my powers would want to use me any way they could, dark or light magic, in pack wars, regardless of the situation, it just could not happen. My mother spelled me when my parents realized my powers so that only my wolf could be detected. My wolf is powerful, but no one would expect less with my father's long line of powerful wolves. The spell would expire on my 18th birthday when my full powers as a witch would emerge. My wolf would come forward shortly after puberty thank the Goddess, which gave us time to find a solution to hiding my powers as I grew up. Drake is the Alpha of the Golden Summit Pack. They have an alliance with the Red River Pack. When Drake became Alpha at 25, he was prepared to take over the pack. He has attended many conferences with his father, the former Alpha Derek. He was present at numerous negotiations with other packs, and was taught to run the pack business, a mining company that often did business in the human realm. As the newly appointed Alpha, Drake travels to the different packs with whom the Golden Summit Pack has alliances with, to formally introduce himself and to assure that the alliances continue. While Drake is staying at the Red River Pack, his wolf suddenly becomes restless and pushes against him, urging him to follow the scent of a she-wolf. Drake's wolf brings him to a pond in the elaborate grounds of the Alpha's home where he is a guest. There he sees the most beautiful woman sitting by the pond enjoying a picnic with friends. His wolf claws desperately at his mind screaming "Mate"! He knows the second she finds his scent and turns to meet his gaze. Instead of running toward him as mates do upon recognition, a look of fear comes over her beautiful features and she runs quickly into the landscaping maze to her right. When Drake takes off after her, he finds no trace of her in the maze but a faint scent of her mingled with light magic lingers. Drake is dumbfounded, where did his mate run off to and why is there light magic in her scent? Lydia sits with her friends Amara and Elyse by the pond near her home. At 21 years of age she has nearly mastered disguising her witch heritage. Only her best friend Elyse knows the truth, and vows never to reveal her secret. While the friends enjoy a beautiful day and a picnic lunch by the pond Lydia's wolf catches a scent that compels her to look around for its source. Her wolf is crying "MATE!" in her head, but Lydia refuses to believe this is true. Why would the Moon Goddess curse her with a mate? She cannot risk being discovered for her true self, yet the pull of the mate bond is strong. Lydia locks eyes with the most gorgeous man she has ever seen, and her wolf nearly purrs inside her mind. Fear takes hold of her body and she runs into the landscape maze where she runs deep into the familiar turns until she can safely portal to her bedroom. There she continues to panic, and paces the floor. Who is this man and why is he here? More importantly why does she have a mate at all? And how is she going to avoid him, and ignore the strength of their true mate bond?
