There has never been a female Alpha – until now. Jaxx Lorient, only surviving offspring of the current leading bloodline, never thought she would amount to much in the Crescent Moon Tribe. Confused and unsure of how to handle her newfound responsibilities, this rowdy young shifter must figure out how to reign in her love affair with a human outsider and embrace leading an entire pack as the first ever appointed female Alpha - all before a bitter rival can usurp her leadership. Chaos ensues as this non-traditional turn of events upends the pack, causing divide amongst its members and uncertainty for a particular female pack mate fated to be with the Alpha.

(TW: Some instances of domestic violence)


The sports car idled noisily in the driveway to Richard’s house. Thea sat unmoving, unblinking, in a state of crippling trepidation. She had called this place home for years, but staring at the silhouette now, it seemed more like a prison.
