Vascillia has always been different from the other werewolves in her world. She never shifted, an anomaly that caused her to be ostracized, first by her parents, then by her entire pack. After years of enduring emotional and physical abuse from those who should have protected her, she finally escapes at the tender age of eight, taking only her wolf friend, Arianna, along for the journey. For ten years, she survives alone, living on the outskirts of civilization, hiding from a world that has only shown her pain.

As Vascillia approaches her eighteenth birthday, the New Moon Pack, a dominant and powerful force in the werewolf world, begins to expand its territory. Little does she know that this expansion will lead her straight into the path of fate itself.

The Alpha of the New Moon Pack, a force to be reckoned with, turns out to be none other than her fated mate—the one person who should have been there for her from the beginning. But Vascillia's past makes it impossible for her to trust anyone, especially not the one person who could hold her heart in his hands.

Things take an even darker turn when her estranged brother's pack seeks aid from the New Moon Pack.

Vascillia's painful past resurfaces when her brother sees her for the first time in years. The family she once hoped would embrace her now sees her as an enemy—an outsider. Betrayal, resentment, and anger cloud their reunion, and Vascillia must navigate the complexities of loyalty, love, and forgiveness.

As the stakes rise, Vascillia must confront her past and decide whether she can trust her mate and his pack, or whether she'll continue to fight for her independence—no matter the cost.
