Stephen was the son of the Great Alpha Zane, leader of the Ironpaw Pack. However, he doesn't know it. A rogue of Alpha blood, Dragan, was determined to rise to the top of the ranks by any means possible so that he could someday overthrow the pack from which he was exiled. Dragan murdered Stephen's parents in the middle of the night when Stephen was just 4 years-old, not knowing of Stephen's presence. Stephen barely escaped, but suffered a concussion, causing him to lose his memory. He ended up at the Crescent Pack, and was taken in by John and Melissa - unaware of his Alpha bloodline. However, as his 18th birthday nears he begins to feel like something is missing in his life. A feeling like he wasn't where he belonged. He is now torn between following his adopted father's footsteps in becoming a guard, and giving into his instincts that would lead him to a pack that was rightfully his...and her.
