Delana Gould, a low member of the Silver Lake pack, hated every second of her life. Tossed aside by Alpha Sam when he'd found his true mate, she was treated as a "pet" of sorts by the pack. Mostly kept around for Beta Paul who'd not yet met his mate, she was "fun" to antagonize and belittle as she couldn't breathe in retaliation. She finally found a life worth living while running errands. Alpha Jacob "Jake" Black of the Crescent Moon Pack, a King among the ranks of the other packs, determined to rescue his abused mate. He had the numbers, the strength, and the sheer willpower to do anything he'd set his mind to.
