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 Series

/"And you had this with her?/" I ask, as Colton stills and watches her steadily. He falls quiet as he ponders it and the glances passing between mother and son make me uneasy. Sometimes they do still have this silent way of communicating that I guess is borne from being mother and child.

/"I had the strong overwhelming sense that Tawna wishes harm upon herself to remove Enzo from Juan's side. Maybe she thinks without his Beta it will weaken his stance on the mountain./" She looks away to the window and that flicker of pain makes it drive home that she is certain of this.

/"You're talking suicide? Wolves don't do that…. It's impossible for us to do harm to ourselves that results in death. Our wolf form kicks in and heals us instinctively, without our permission. It's not exactly easy to find a way that a wolf can't save./" Colton leans in, seems none of us can eat when this is the topic and I frown heavily, my stomach churning with the topic.
