Pack life isn't what it used to be, but the power of the pack has increased exponentially in modern and unexpected ways. Once wild and free, wolves have become political leaders with seemingly unlimited resources. Getting power, however, is not the same as maintaining it... and once a group has power, it creates a hunger for more. Longstanding packs, seen as royalty in the world of the wolf, have spent the last two generations increasing their size and power, by combining packs through arranged marriages and other legally (and traditionally) binding alliances... which has caused significant problems for some born-mated pairs. Olivia Rose was born lucky, or so she says, as the daughter of a pack master in a merged pack ... with just enough authority to keep her family comfortable, but not enough to tell her what to do. That is, until the alpha of the merged packs decides she will have an arranged marriage that forces her to be part of an alliance-mated pair, she discovers she is part of a born-mated pair, and she realizes that neither of these situations decreases the love she has for her chosen mate of three years. Will she choose one mate... born, alliance-formed, or chosen... or will she try to juggle all three?
