I'm a new alpha with no training in the middle of a pack war. Losing means death for everyone I hold dear.

My father put his faith in my ability to lead the pack, but I fear it was misplaced. So does everyone else. They watch me, scrutinizing everything I do, like they're waiting to challenge me.

We have more important things to worry about, though, like the deranged Alpha Dane and Pack Wolf Blood. They killed my father and have attacked us relentlessly. One wrong move, and the pack will fall.

My mates, Lincoln and Sawyer, are doing their best to help me lead the pack, but I'm the one everyone looks to. Lincoln has my back and is helping me with the day-to-day, but Sawyer is still a mole in Alpha Dane's pack. He's helping us way too much, and it's only a matter of time before his father finds out.

As more packs fall around us, the pressure to run is high. Even Lincoln and Sawyer think we should go.

I refuse to give up my family's home, though. I say we stay and fight.

But if I fail, we will lose everything.

Pack Wolf Blood leads with tyranny and plans to kill anyone who stands in their way.

Alpha Dane gives me one final chance to bow to him, or everyone I love will pay the price. I won't submit to a man who thrives off killing, and neither will my pack or mates.

Sawyer is working behind enemy lines, building us an army, but he is one misstep away from getting caught. His father knows there is a traitor, and he is watching Sawyer like a hawk.

Lincoln continues my self-defense training, but we'll have to hope I learn enough before more wolves attack. He is doing his best to protect me while helping me grow our numbers, but are still greatly outnumbered.

We all have our part to play in this war, and mine is to lead us to victory, while praying we all make it out alive.

The battle lines have been drawn and only one pack will survive.
