For as long as Isabel can remember, she’s been a rogue. Her parents are deceased; she has no pack, no mate, and no one at all except for her older brother Ben. She’s grown used to being a nobody, the butt of others’ jokes, and for the most part, alone.

But during a routine errand gone wrong, Isabel stumbles onto a pack’s territory and comes face to face with a fierce—and devastatingly attractive—shifter the likes of which she’s never seen or felt.

Isabel is certain this is her mate. But will he accept her, a nobody rogue? Or will he reject her to maintain his status in his pack?

With growing danger at every turn, Isabel finds herself in the center of a desperate war between amassing rogues and a fearsome pack, working not only to uncover the mystery of what happened to her once-happy family, but to win over the man she is certain is the love of her life.

This limbo between being awake and crashing into the worst nightmares continues throughout the night. The pain is torturous. The nightmares are agony.


Finally though, I awake and see gold light coming in through the window. I feel refreshed in a way, at least physically. I’m able to sit up.


“Do you think it’s okay to stand?” I ask.


I glance around the hut which looks even cozier in the light, but I don’t see my mysterious savior anywhere. Was he just a dream?


No. He couldn’t have been seeing as I’m here. He must’ve just left for a little while. 


I decide to try standing, and at first, I am wobbly. But then, I regain my balance and am able to walk around a bit. I’m not sure how much I’m allowed to use or see, so I try not to touch anything or do any sort of prying.
