She fails to shift.

In an instant, Sarah loses everything: her pack, her mate, and her future. An outcast in the woods, Sarah wonders about the mysterious rogue who haunts the den’s perimeters. But she is just a human now. Will she ever make peace with what she’s lost? Will she find the love she’s always been searching for?

Sarah attempts to navigate this new world, as tensions continue to grow. Can she enter into a forbidden romance with a wolf? And who, in the end, is her true mate?

Sarah struggles to balance her allegiance between her former pack and her new existence as a human. Can she make peace in time? Or will she lose everything she’s worked so hard to gain?

Finally, in the end comes the biggest heartbreaks, the greatest love, and the most compelling of mysteries. Finally, Sarah might just find the answers she’s been searching for.


My True Mate

I go still at her words, “What do you mean by that?”


“I could sense it,” She taps her chest. “He felt different.”


I don’t know what different means to her but it is true that he hadn’t been acting like himself. 


Despite what Aliya said about her, Kayla has not revealed anything about what she could be. But since she seems to be a little forthcoming right now, I ask, “Are you settling in okay?” 


The little wolf puppy wriggles out of her hold and she releases it.


“Kayla, if I ask you a few questions, can you answer them for me?”


Kayla looks hesitant, “I know you want to ask about my family.”


“Can you tell me what happened? Why were you living in the woods?” 


She curls into herself, her arms wrapped around her knees, “I ran away. That bad man was hurting Rain and I ran away. She told me to run.”


Rain must have been her sister, I think to myself. 


I put my arm around her shoulders, “It's a good thing you ran away. Your sister wanted to protect you.”
