Years later, a legendary masked mercenary arrives to fix the pack's failing security, revealing a transformed Nora who looks at her former master with complete indifference. Forced into a marriage of convenience to save his territory, Marcus must navigate a dangerous game where his old captive holds all the power, unaware that a multi-generational conspiracy is about to tear their entire world apart.
