Isabeal wakes at the hospital with no memory of the fight that put her there. Somehow she survived, she who had no wolf and couldn't change her form survived, where others, stronger wolves, had died - including the Alfa's son. She keeps wondering why, but she can't remember anything but the pain in her shoulder where she was bitten. The round scar of a full bite mark seems to be radiating with an unseen power that is not entirely unpleasant, but hard to control. Alexander worries for his sister and for their place in the pack. Even though he has his mate, and she is high up in the pack hierarchy, evil voices wisper that he has a dark side and wishes to replace the Alfa. There is nothing he wishes for less than to fight Alfa Lucas having nothing but love and respect for the older man, but unlike the wispering voices Alexander knows that he is strong enough to do so - and win. Cassian is Alfa-to-be, and as a member of the council he becomes more worried by attacks from rogues and enemy packs with every passing day. The attacks keep increasing in size and number - It is, as if all the rogues have united. And in the middle of this fight, he has found his mate. She is young, and from another pack, but maybe this pack will be the solution to the problem with the rogues. Kolyan has been the Beta since his father's death, and as the Beta it is his job to guard the Alfa's back. But how can you protect a man - a wolf - that you despice? With him, and probably to his grave, Kolyan carries two secrets, either one will get him killed if exposed. And in order to keep them from the Alfa... he will have to reject his mate.
