In a ceremonial gathering under a blood moon, the young Elinor finds out that her destined mate is the Alpha of her pack, Lucian. Publicly, however, Lucian rejects her for political reasons—his choice to choose a strong mate that will make the pack stronger instead of settling for Elinor who was a weak omega without a wolf. Heartbroken and humiliated, Elinor, who had found herself pregnant with Lucian’s child, runs away from the pack in order to protect her child. However, with the pregnancy comes a chance at new love, and a secret—a secret that marks her as a valuable breeder and ties her fate irrevocably to both forbidden love and the future of werewolf lineages.
