Lena, the White Haven pack's only doctor, lives a predictable life. A planned attack on the Royal Ball throws her into turmoil as she's called to provide medical care to the wounded, working every bit of her knowledge. Only while there, an intoxicating scent rises above the blood and chaos. Her mate. And she couldn't have recognized their scent at a worse time. Barely able to focus, she tries putting a face to the scent but only catches a glimpse before her duties rip her away from him. They finally meet and start planning their life together, but fate has other plans for their union. Will fate find favor in their love, or will their bond be torn apart piece by piece?
