Due to an insurgence in rogue activities; wolf groups are finding it essential to forge agreements with other packs to protect themselves … It is largely done by marriages between Alphas and she-wolves of high rank members in another. Snow – who was an abandoned rogue herself; discovered by Amanda, the daughter of the Moonbeam Packs Gamma wolf – is about to be pushed into pre-arranged marriage with an awful, lecher of an Alpha. Neither sister wants Snow to have to marry him — alliance or not – therefore, Amanda helps Snow leave the pack the night before the wedding. Snow finds herself unwittingly intruding onto the Cerberus Pack’s territory; and, ending up protecting their Beta’s young sister from a nasty rogue assault. When the Alpha sees Snow for the first time; he proclaims her to be his mate. She resists at first, even though she’s curiously attracted to him; and, ultimately gives in to her inner-wolf’s need and accepts him as her mate. Meanwhile, the jilted Alpha is angry, and wants Snow back … not out of love, but, out of spite and desiring payback for running out on him. He even goes as far as collaborating with renegade cells to go to war with the Cerberus Pack to get Snow back.
