Seven years ago, Valen Linus became the youngest Alpha in Linus Pack's history by killing his father. Feared by many, he’s seen as one of the most ruthless and calculative leaders in Wolfen society. 

Many see him as power-hungry, but Valen’s only concern is protecting his family, strengthening his pack, and solving a 2-year-old mystery that could ruin everything he’s built. He has a lot on his plate, and the last thing he needs is an unwanted mate, but fate seems to have other plans.
