Vera is a young woman driven by anger and a thirst for revenge after her pack is attacked by the White Shadow Pack. She loses everyone she loves, including Kora, her motherly figure. With a poisoned dagger in hand, she plans to kill Alpha Draven, the leader of the White Shadow Pack. However, when she confronts him, she discovers a shocking truth: they are fated mates, and if she kills him, she will die too. Now, Vera must choose between her desire for revenge and the need to save the man she hates to survive.

Selene woke up in the forest where her mate, Alpha Thorin, had made love to her. But instead of finding Thorin beside her, she saw a stranger. Both of them were naked. She couldn't comprehend how she ended up like this with someone she didn't know, especially when she clearly remembered falling asleep in Alpha Thorin's arms. Before she could make sense of the situation and the stranger's presence, their pack members and Alpha Thorin himself appeared, catching her in the compromising scene. Thorin accused her of betrayal, being with another man, particularly someone from a rival pack. He declared her an enemy and rejected her as his mate. Despite her attempts to explain, he refused to listen and sentenced her to death. Forced to flee for her life, Selene went into hiding. There, she uncovered something devastating: could it be that Alpha Thorin himself had set her up just to have a reason to reject her?
