Aria Meyers has lived her life on the edge for as long as she can remember. On the edge of fear, pain, and suffering. Her world is everything out of the ordinary, and every day, she wishes it were different. Living in the small town of Hunter’s creek, her town is bordered by the werewolf pack, Ravenwood. The same pack that attacked her town when she was just a little girl, and killed her parents before her very eyes, leaving her to take care of her little brother, Ethan. So used to pain and suffering, she stops trying to fight it. Once upon a time, she had the will to live and to fight, but now, she’s just a pitiful young woman whose only goal is to keep her little brother safe. The poverty and abuse may have broken her spirit, but she would not allow it to break her brother’s too. So no matter what she had to do, she would always find a way to protect him. Just like that cold, dark night when she was twelve, Aria’s town is attacked again by the Ravenwood, but this time, a few things are different. The sharp eyed wolf that led the pack years ago and plunged a dagger into her father’s chest is gone now, replaced instead by a younger wolf that bears a resemblance to him. The son of the creature who murdered her parents.
Lycan is Alpha of the pack, and just like his father before him, his reputation of ruthlessness precedes him. But unlike his father, he’s not just a thoughtless savage who attacked Aria’s town just for the fun of it. No, he has a much more calculated plan. He’s searching for something. Someone. CEO to a billion dollar enterprise by day and blue-eyed wolf by night, Lycan’s human life is the perfect facade for his pack.
The Ravenwood pack have always managed to stay ahead of other packs, in battle and in leadership. But things have been different in the past year. The other packs have relentlessly fought Lycan’s pack, almost besting them in battle. It is the manifestation of an old prophesy and was told to Lycan by the pack’s seer, Malakai. He was warned that a time would come when his rule would be threatened, and if he is unable to surpass the battles that would come victoriously, then he would lose the entire pack. But there was one clause. A person– a tool, with abilities far beyond anything any werewolf– any being has ever seen. Gifted by the universe itself, this person would be a powerful tool in Lycan’s hand– one he can use to wipe out his enemies. He just has to find them first. Malakai is able to direct Lycan to where he can find the person, and he attacks Aria’s town seeking to find the silver–haired woman who will be his beacon of power.
Instead, he meets the same pair of silver eyes that have haunted his sleep every night for the last three years.
Three years ago, Aria needed to get out of her town. She wanted to leave and never come back– to run far, far away, but her little brother was just fourteen then. She couldn’t leave him behind, and she couldn’t take him on her run, especially when she had no idea where she would be going. She felt stuck. Desperate to catch her breath in a place where no one would know her, she left her town and travelled for hours until she wound up at a local bar someplace she didn’t know. As she sipped on the only glass she could afford, her eyes met the ocean blue eyes of a man whose beauty words failed to describe. It was savage beauty. She could tell that he was a man to be feared, but all she’d done her whole life was fear. Maybe for this one night, she could be bold and it would be okay. So she held his eyes across the room in that rundown bar, even as they glimmered at her. The sharp angles of his face were a contrast to his soft, knowing eyes and the way they raked all over her body, she wanted everything he had to offer. So when he gestured for her to follow him out of the bar, she didn’t even think twice before she was on her feet, trailing after him.
It was a night she would never forget, as it was for Lycan. He had only wanted a drink away from the prying eyes of his pack, so he’d wound up at an unfamiliar bar in the middle of nowhere hoping to find just that. But instead, he met his mate that night. She didn’t know it yet, but he did. The way his wolf yearned for her the second his eyes met hers, it was impossible to miss.
He was going to tell her the next morning, but she was gone with the wind by the time he woke up. Aria had returned to her town and pretended that night had never happened, but it was a night she could never forget.
And now, here was the same blue–eyed man, raiding her town.
Aria is taken by Lycan’s pack and is forced to live with them. She learns about his world while Lycan waits for her to access the powers that were spoken of. But she insists that she is human and has no such abilities. However, the longer she stays in Lycan’s pack, the more she discovers things about herself that were hidden even to her very own eyes. She is weak, but he teaches her how to be stronger.
