Verity Reid is a twenty-three-year-old graduate student who lives alone in a one-bedroom cabin. She is a kind-hearted animal lover so it's no surprise she took in a hurt wolf but in doing so she is thrown into a world she never knew existed.
Alex Moon is an Alpha who is the only survivor from an attack on his hunting party from the Lockincester Pack and drags himself into somebody's yard hoping to find safety but instead finds Verity sitting by herself. At first, Alex only slept trying to heal but as the days unfold Alex finds that there is more to this human than what meets the eye.
Verity saves the life of a wolf and in return, it begins to speak to her telepathically.
