I've known about my best friend and his family's place in the supernatural world for years now. It nearly breaks my brain if I think about it too long, so I try and go with the flow. I've managed to avoid the pride functions after the new Alpha took over, not knowing how he would respond to a human – a defective one at that – crashing his pride events. The Walker family has been nothing but great to me though so when Wes asks for the millionth time for me to come with them on their run, I have no excuses left that sound even a little believable, so I accept.

What was supposed to be a run of the mill pride gathering ends up being the night I find myself face to face with the Alpha . . . a lion claiming to be my fated mate. I'm confused and overjoyed but not everyone in the community is, and some are willing to go to extreme lengths to keep us apart.

Should we fight for fate or will should we allow our bond to be ripped apart for the sake of the pride?
