Emma Carter, a young Police officer, wakes up each morning in a haze of blood and confusion, her dreams filled with the violence of a past she can't remember. As the body count rises, she discovers her adoptive parents slaughtered in the same manner as the victims—drug dealers and gang members she once helped arrest. Desperate for answers, Emma encounters Jake Thompson, the alluring rogue twin, who claims she is his mate and insists they must flee the impending danger. As they escape, she is torn between her connection to Jake and the protective embrace of his twin brother, Alex, the Alpha determined to save her at any cost. But as Emma begins to uncover the truth about her lineage—hidden secrets of a rival pack and the tragic legacy of her birth—she realizes she is at the center of a deadly game, caught between the warring factions of the werewolf world. With the police closing in, the shocking truth about the murders revealed, and her own powers awakening, Emma must confront her past, her identity, and the men who hold her heart. In a tale of love, betrayal, and self-discovery, will Emma embrace her destiny or be consumed by the darkness lurking within?

"We need to move. Now." It was Alex's voice, somehow in her mind and she was confused again.
"Follow me." Alex instructed her.
