An alpha werewolf who went rogue years earlier returns runaways and missing to their packs. When he is asked to find a woman from his old pack, he finds her and discovers she is his mate. They both struggle with the idea of having a mate. Him, because of being a rogue and living alone for years unless he was transporting someone. Her, because of what she went through and watched what happened between her mother and step-father, who were chosen mates after her father died.
