Alora Dennison is an orphaned child from a shamed bloodline surviving in her families old pack. On the dawn of her transition pushing her into adulthood she imprints on the mate she will be bonded to for an eternity, in an unexpected turn of fate.
Only he isn't the man of her dreams. He is the only one in the entire state she would never have wanted to bond too.
Colton Santo is the arrogant, dominant son of the Alpha from a rival pack which is set to unite the packs and reign in one kingdom. In years gone by his disdain for her and any from her bloodline has been prominent. Her treatment by his pack has pushed her to live in near isolation, fearful for her existence and now before all assembled, on the dawn of her awakening, they all just saw her imprint on their future leader.
Fate has decreed it, but everyone around her is about to try and stop it.
Fate isn't about to make it easy on her either, as a long forgotten war erupts in their lands, bringing an age old enemy with a thirst for blood back into the forefront of lycanthrope life.
Will she survive long enough to ever find out why she has borne a black mark on her lineage her entire life? And why exactly, Colton's father is just so eager to see her dead.
Will Colton step up and honour the bond, or will he be the one to deliver the final blow?

Awakening

“Colton…. If you can hear me…. You have more than me to fight for now, don’t give up. We’re working on it. I love you and I miss you.” its loud enough that my voice travels on the wind and yet quiet enough and directed away from the house to not echo around the drive. Only Carmen will have caught it and she remains silent and at a distance, giving me some space and showing respect. 


The fog twirls and moves in the wind and for a second I catch a glimpse of a lone dark figure directly in front, separated by the twenty feet or so of wood and he’s staring right at me. Full on wolf form, black, devastating in size, claws extended in readiness, and glistening in the moon light. He’s a sight to behold on any given day, but like this, how he is just shreds my emotions into frenzied pain and aches heavily in my chest. His eyes are still empty darkness, and his growling snarl is unmistakable to my ears. I would know Colton anywhere, no matter the distance.
