Six years I've been running from the man I loved, carrying a secret that would have gotten me killed. I made a human life for my son by the sea. A lunchbox with his name on the lid. Sand dollars in his pockets. The bell at three o'clock. No howling, no hierarchy, no history. Then my five-year-old shifted on the school playground, and got stuck halfway. Not boy. Not wolf. Three nights is all a lone pup gets before the wild takes his mind, and only one Alpha is strong enough to hold him. Hollis Vane wears the crown now. Colder than the man I knew. More dangerous than I let myself imagine. And about to choose his Luna from the same court that drove me out. He might be able to keep my son alive, but the second he sees Rory's silver eyes, he'll know. I swore I'd never go back. Now my son's life depends on it.
