Back pressed against the wall, Temperance simply stares at the hypnotic eyes that seem to be holding her captive. "How does one prove who they are to people who've never met them?" She asks. "Carefully, I would presume! Is that what this is? Proof?" Chase questions. "No." She answers, licking her lips as she stares at his mouth, "This is a mistake." On the night of her birth, Temperance Prince is forced into the hands of an attending Omega, also carrying her small child. Given specific instructions and one final task, the Omega takes the princess, her son, and the Crowned Emerald Star deep into the woods through a secret passageway off the Emerald Isle and away from the destruction annihilating the castle and its inhabitants. Chase Dubois was born to lead. Eldest son and future Alpha of the Devil's Kiss Pack and defender of the Northern Territory, Chase will stop at nothing than to prove himself worthy of the honor of relieving his father's command and protecting his people. All he needs now is his mate by his side. But something is terribly wrong in the Emerald Isle, and the very island itself seems ready to crumble beneath their feet. How can he keep his people safe? Will fate be kind? Armed with the mystery of her birth, will Temperance allow Chase to help her take her rightful place as heir to the throne or will the hidden shadows of her past come back and reclaim what they once lost?
