"Say that again," he whispered, brushing his lips lightly against mine. "You belong to me... all of you." *************************** Hazel DeRose has spent eighteen years as the pack's punching bag.

As secrets awaken and enemies close in, Hazel must choose between the Alpha who threw her away and the Lycan king who refuses to let her go. And is Hazel truly wolfless... or is she something far more powerful than anyone ever imagined?
